uPVC door & latch repair

A uPVC door that won't latch or close is often an alignment problem, not a broken lock. Reviewers say technicians realigned and adjusted their doors on the spot, without selling them a new lock.

What to do right now

  1. 1Don't force the handle — it can break the mechanism.
  2. 2Note whether it sticks when locking, closing or both.
  3. 3Call 020 3372 4688 for an adjustment or repair.
  4. 4Ask about multi-point lock gearbox checks.

Great Service from John Raul!

“Had a great experience with John Raul. Had my bag stolen with all my details and keys and within 25 min was available to change our locks and make us feel safe! John was fast and provided us with a great service. The only downside is regarding the company which had quoted me £90-120 for the service and lock (too good to be true having had to change locks before) and price was much different at the end (and more aligned with our expectation)”
