5-point door locking mechanisms repaired / replaced
If your uPVC or composite door isn’t locking smoothly, won’t lift properly, or the key won’t turn, your multipoint locking mechanism may be failing. We repair and replace all types of 5-point and multipoint locks across Stourbridge, Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire & Redditch, restoring full security and smooth operation without replacing the whole door.
5-Point & Multipoint Door Lock Repair Services
Multipoint locking systems are used on most modern uPVC and composite doors. They secure the door at multiple points — usually with hooks, bolts or rollers — all driven by a central gearbox.
When one part of the system wears out or breaks, your door may become stiff, difficult to lift, or unable to lock at all. We diagnose the issue and carry out professional repairs or full mechanism replacements using high-quality, durable components. This restores smooth operation and ensures your home remains secure.
What causes a multipoint lock to fail?
Common causes include:
- Wear and tear on the central gearbox
- Door misalignment due to dropping or swelling
- Broken hooks, rollers or locking bolts
- Stripped or worn internal gears
- Excessive force on the handle
- Previous poor-quality repairs
- Weather-related expansion and contraction
If a mechanism begins to fail, forcing the handle can cause complete lock failure — often leaving the door stuck shut or impossible to lock.

- We identify whether repair or full replacement is the best solution

Our Reviews
Honest Reviews. Real Results. Happy Customers.
Really impressed with how fast Paul fixed my misted unit. I thought I’d need a whole new window, but he replaced just the glass and saved me a fortune. Highly recommend!
South-facing windows had 16 blown panels. Replacement quote was huge. Paul replaced 17 panels quickly and at 1/4 of the cost. Amazing.
We had 3 windows and a door not shutting properly. Nearly paid £4500 for replacements. Paul fixed them all for a fraction of the cost. Brilliant.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Paul at Ace Windows & Door Fixer. He was the most responsive, informative & professional of 3 companies. Sorted condensation issue fast and at excellent price. Highly recommend.
Paul came out to measure and quote for a replacement unit for a misted up double glazed window pane. Quoted me a fair price on the spot. Came back a few days later and fitted the new unit. No fuss, no mess. Highly recommend.
The porch handle broke on my parents house. The double glazing was at least 40 years old. But Paul located a replacement handle, which was incredibly rare and rescued the day. Paul is courteous, communicates well and goes above and beyond to solve your problems.
Paul has been fixing my windows and doors since last year. Value for money. Quick response with fast action. Great service and highly recommended!
We’d been struggling with a uPVC door which kept sticking and the handle was not operating properly. Paul responded to my enquiry promptly, came out in the following couple of days and dealt with the issue quickly.
Great service from start to finish. Thank you very pleased.
