A floppy door handle is trying to tell you something...

If your UPVC door handle drops after you lift it or feels loose when you use it, the gearbox inside the door mechanism has most likely failed. The gearbox is what drives the locking bolts. When it breaks, the bolts stop engaging even when the handle is lifted.

The good news: in most cases, only the gearbox needs replacing, not the entire locking strip. The average cost is around £90. Catch it early, and that is usually the end of it. Leave it, and the extra strain can cause more parts to fail.

If your handle is starting to feel wrong, it is worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later.

Your UPVC door is getting harder to lock. The handle lifts but nothing engages. The key turns, but the door stays shut. Sound familiar?

This is one of the most common calls we get at Fensome Locksmiths, and in most cases, it is not as serious as it sounds. As the weather warms up, UPVC frames expand slightly, pushing the locking points out of line with the door frame. That is often all it is. A hinge adjustment, no new parts, job done.

We have just published a full guide covering the most common UPVC lock faults, typical repair costs, and how to tell if your locksmith is trustworthy before you let them through the door.

MLA approved. DBS checked. No call-out fee. You speak to Craig directly on 01604 661 872.

When looking for a reputable locksmith, it's essential to seek out members of professional organisations, such as the Master Locksmith Association (MLA). This is because professional organisations, such as the MLA, have very high standards and qualifications that locksmiths must meet to become a member.

The MLA is the leading trade association for locksmiths in the UK, and only members who meet their strict criteria are allowed to join. This means that by choosing an MLA-approved locksmith, you can be sure that you're dealing with a qualified and trustworthy professional.
