Third time using this company and as always, brilliant job. This time for replacement sealed units. Always my first call for glazing work.
A broken or wobbly door handle is one of the most common UPVC problems we see across Portsmouth — and one of the easiest to fix. The handle itself is a separate component from the multi-point locking mechanism behind it, and most of the time only the handle needs replacing, not the lock. That makes it a quick job: under an hour, usually under £80 fitted.
Restoration Glazing replaces UPVC and composite door handles across every Portsmouth postcode. The most common types we fit are spring-loaded lever handles (the standard up-down handle on most UPVC doors), pull handles for entrance doors, and decorative handles for composite doors. We can usually fit in a single visit, typically within 24-48 hours of your quote, with same-day availability for urgent cases.
We cover PO1 through PO6 — from Old Portsmouth and Southsea in the south, Eastney and Milton along the east coast, Cosham and Paulsgrove in the north, and Copnor and Baffins along the eastern fringe.
Areas We Cover in Portsmouth
We provide door handle repair across every Portsmouth postcode and the surrounding areas, including:
- Old Portsmouth & Centre — Old Portsmouth, Spinnaker, Gunwharf Quays, Buckland, Landport

Common Door Handle Issues We See in Portsmouth Properties
- •Spring failure in 10+ year UPVC handles across Cosham, Drayton and Paulsgrove — the handle drops down rather than springing back to horizontal; internal spring has failed and the handle needs replacing
- •Loose handles on student-let doors in Southsea HMOs — fixing screws stripped from heavy use across multiple tenancies, requiring re-anchoring or stronger fixings
- •Composite door pull handles in modern Gunwharf and Spinnaker apartments — decorative handles that have come away from the door face, often a screw or adhesive issue
- •Snapped levers from forced operation — handles broken when someone has tried to operate a stuck or misaligned door
- •Heritage door knobs in Old Portsmouth and Southsea conservation properties — original brass and bronze fittings that have worn or detached after decades of use, requiring careful matching
Frequently Asked Questions — Door Handle Repair Portsmouth
How much does UPVC door handle replacement cost in Portsmouth?
Standard UPVC door handle replacement is typically £45-£80 fitted, including a matching cylinder where required. Composite door pull handles and decorative finishes vary based on design. Heritage door fittings are quoted on inspection.
Can you replace just the handle, or do I need a new lock too?
Usually just the handle. The lock mechanism is a separate component inside the door. We diagnose on the visit — if the lock itself is also faulty, we'll quote for both. Most of the time it's just the handle.
My handle has come off completely — is this an emergency?
It can be — if the door won't lock or won't open, yes. Call 023 8001 2328 and we'll prioritise the visit. If the handle is loose but the door still functions, it's usually a next-day repair.
Do you do composite door handles in Portsmouth?
Yes — pull handles, lever handles, and decorative handles for composite doors common in Gunwharf, Spinnaker and modern Portsmouth apartment blocks. We can usually source matching designs within a few days for less common finishes.
