Is Your UPVC Door Handle Not Working? We Can Help.
When your uPVC door handle stops functioning correctly, the problem often lies within the gearbox—a critical component that controls the door lock mechanism. A faulty gearbox can leave your door jammed, difficult to operate, or even completely non-functional.
The key plays an essential role in troubleshooting and repairing the door lock mechanism, especially when unlocking or removing the door’s barrel during maintenance. At Emergency Locksmith 24-7, we specialise in repairing and replacing uPVC gearboxes, ensuring that your door is back to full working order quickly and efficiently.
Common Signs of a Faulty UPVC Gearbox
The Handle is Loose or Stiff
The uPVC door lock gearbox may be worn or damaged if your handle is difficult to turn or feels unusually loose.
uPVC Door Won't Lock or Unlock
A malfunctioning gearbox can prevent your door from locking or unlocking properly, leaving your property insecure.
Handle Spins Without Engaging the Lock
The gearbox is likely broken if turning the handle doesn’t engage the locking mechanism. Additionally, check the metal strip for any issues that might be affecting the lock’s performance.
Difficulty Lifting the Handle
If you’re struggling to lift the handle to engage the lock, the gearbox could be the issue. Often, people will replace the handles, thinking they are the cause, but it is most likely the internal door mechanism.

Our Gearbox Replacement Process
- Initial Inspection: Our locksmith will perform a thorough inspection to confirm that the uPVC door gearbox is the source of the problem. It is crucial to maintain the integrity of the composite door during this inspection. The uPVC door lock mechanism is much more complicated than a wooden door, with locking hooks and bolts that run up the entire edge of the door.
- Gearbox Removal: If replacement is necessary, we’ll carefully remove the faulty uPVC door gearbox without damaging the door. This includes sliding off the outer handle and pulling out the square bar.
- Replacement Installation: For a successful uPVC door gearbox replacement, we install a new, high-quality gearbox that matches your door’s specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation.
- Final Testing: We’ll test the new gearbox thoroughly, checking that your door locks and unlocks easily and that the handle functions smoothly.
- Customer Satisfaction: Before leaving, we ensure your satisfaction with the work and provide advice on how to maintain your new gearbox for longevity.
