A multipoint lock has stopped working
The locking mechanism runs along the edge of the door. The fault needs assessing so the repair matches the actual problem.

UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
Handle lifts. Key won’t turn. What next?
A faulty door can leave you unsure whether it’s the cylinder, the gearbox or the full mechanism. Tell me what the handle and key are doing. I’ll explain what can be established by phone and what needs a visit.
You’re asking about a gearbox replacement
A gearbox and a complete locking mechanism are different repairs. A photo of the door edge, if safely visible, can help identify the system; the fault still needs checking.
The handle is stiff or feels loose
Avoid forcing the handle or key. Call with a description of the problem and say whether the door is currently locked, open or unsecured.

Full mechanism prices depend on the make and model, access and work required. Mark will identify the mechanism and agree the total parts-and-labour price before work starts. A gearbox-only replacement is a different repair.
What your quote covers
Your quote covers the agreed work, including labour and any specified replacement parts. The lock, fault, access and appointment time affect the total. Specialist hardware and evening or weekend work are quoted before booking. The full job price is agreed before work starts.
No separate call-out fee. No VAT is added. A photo can help with an estimate; an inspection may be needed to confirm the fault.
Guide prices from our published service list. Confirm the parts, labour and any out-of-hours cost when you call. A gearbox-only replacement needs its own quote.

Door repairs in Newcastle.
I travel to Newcastle, including Gosforth and Jesmond. Call with your postcode for the current arrival estimate.
For an enquiry, have your postcode ready and explain whether the door is open, locked shut or unable to lock. For non-urgent faults, send a photo of the handle and door edge if you can safely access it.

Your repair
questions.
How much is uPVC gearbox replacement in Newcastle?
It depends on the mechanism and the fault. A gearbox replacement is quoted separately from an adjustment or minor repair. Send a photo and call for a job-specific quote; full mechanism replacement is listed separately below.
Do I need a whole new door?
A problem with a handle or lock doesn’t by itself mean you need a new door. The hardware and door alignment need assessing before recommending the repair.
What if I’m locked out?
Call rather than message, and explain that you cannot get in. I’ll confirm current availability, discuss the job and give an estimated arrival time.
Are parts and labour included?
Ask for the full job price when you book. The required parts, work and timing must be confirmed for your job before a price is agreed.
Locked out or unable to secure your property? Call for emergency access. For more detail on parts, see gearbox and mechanism repairs.
