Door Lock Repairs Bristol
A door that will not lock is not something to leave until next week. The UPVC Doctor Southwest repairs UPVC door locks across Bristol — multipoint failures, broken euro cylinders, stiff mechanisms and locks that only half-engage.
We carry the most common lock brands on the van, so most repairs are done in a single visit.
Door locks we repair
Multipoint locking mechanisms
The multipoint lock runs down the door edge and engages hooks or rollers at several points when you lift the handle and turn the key. When the central gearbox fails, nothing engages. We fit a direct replacement. Common brands we stock include Mila, Yale, Fullex, GU, Winkhaus, Lockmaster and Fuhr.
Euro cylinders
The euro cylinder is the barrel your key goes into. If the key will not turn, snaps, or the cylinder spins freely, it needs replacing. We fit anti-snap cylinders as standard — these resist the common ‘lock snapping’ break-in method.
Deadlocks and night latches
Some doors have a secondary deadlock or night latch alongside the multipoint lock. We repair and replace these, and fit new ones where you want extra security.
Handles and spindles
A broken or spinning handle often goes hand in hand with a lock problem. The spindle can wear or snap so the handle turns without engaging. We replace handles, spindles and springs and check the gearbox at the same time.
Symptoms
Signs your door lock needs attention
- You have to lift the handle hard or jiggle the door to lock it.
- The key turns but the locking points do not engage.
- It locks at the handle but not at the top or bottom.
- The lock feels gritty, stiff or grinds.
- The key sticks or will not go fully in.
- The door has been forced and the lock is damaged.
