We’re a local, independent locksmith service based in York, and we’ve repaired hundreds of uPVC locking systems for both residential and commercial customers.

No fuss, no call-out fees – just professional service you can trust, right when you need it most.
Common uPVC Lock Problems We Fix
uPVC doors can suffer from a number of common issues over time, especially if they’re used frequently or not aligned properly. One of the most frequent problems we see is a misaligned door that puts pressure on the locking system, making it difficult to turn the key or lift the handle. Other signs of trouble include locks that jam, keys that snap in the cylinder, or doors that won’t shut fully.
In some cases, the gearbox inside the multi-point locking mechanism fails, which can make the entire lock system useless. If your lock is sticking or you're having to force it, it’s best to get it looked at before it fails completely. At For Locks That Break, we’re equipped to deal with all makes and models of uPVC locks. We’ll assess the issue, explain the fault clearly, and offer the most efficient solution – often repairing it on the spot.
Why uPVC Lock Repairs Are Better Than Replacements
When a uPVC lock starts to go wrong, many people assume they need to replace the whole unit – but that’s not always the case. In fact, in most situations we can repair the fault without the need for a brand-new lock or door. At For Locks That Break, we always look for the most cost-effective and sensible solution. We carry a full range of spare parts, including gearboxes, handles, cylinders, and multi-point locking strips.
That means we can often fix your lock in one visit, without the need to order expensive replacements. Repairing a lock also keeps your existing keys in use and avoids the hassle of updating landlords, tenants, or staff members with new ones. It’s also the more environmentally friendly option, reducing waste and extending the life of your existing door. You’ll get the same secure results for less, with no drop in quality or performance.
