Great communication. Paul was very thorough and dealt with our sticking patio doors. Although he came a little later than arranged we were kept fully informed and were able to track his journey. Very friendly. Pleased with the price of the work.

Third time using this company and as always, brilliant job. This time for replacement sealed units. Always my first call for glazing work.
Door locks fail more often than any other UPVC component, and across Winchester we get called out for them most weeks. The most common cause is the multi-point locking mechanism inside the door — the long metal mechanism that drives the bolts and hooks when you lift the handle and turn the key. When that fails, the door either won't lock at all, won't unlock, or feels heavy and grinds when you operate it.
Restoration Glazing repairs and replaces UPVC and composite door locks across every Winchester postcode (SO22 and SO23). We carry the most common multi-point mechanism brands on the van — Yale, ERA, Maco, Roto, Fuhr, GU — and can often diagnose and fit in a single visit. We also work on heritage door locks (mortice locks on Georgian and Victorian timber front doors) sympathetically and to insurance standards.
We typically attend Winchester within 24-48 hours of your quote from our Chandler's Ford depot. Same-day or next-day appointments available for genuine lockouts and post-break-in security concerns.

Common Door Lock Issues We See in Winchester Properties
- •Multi-point mechanism failure in 15+ year-old UPVC across Stanmore, Badger Farm and Highcliffe — the gearbox inside the door wears, causing heavy operation, partial locking, or total lock-up
- •Heritage mortice lock issues on Georgian and Victorian timber doors — original mortice locks worn smooth, needing replacement or refurb to BS 3621 insurance standard
- •Snapped cylinders following break-in attempts — older non-anti-snap cylinders broken during attempted burglaries; always replaced with anti-snap upgrades
- •Misaligned strikers on dropped UPVC doors — when the door has settled, multi-point bolts no longer line up with their keeps in the frame
- •Composite door electronic lock failures in newer St Cross and Highcliffe homes — smart-lock battery, motor, or controller failures
Frequently Asked Questions — Door Lock Repair Winchester
How much does UPVC door lock repair cost in Winchester?
Multi-point mechanism replacement is typically £120-£220 fitted. Cylinder-only replacement is £45-£90 fitted. Heritage mortice lock work for period timber doors is quoted on inspection.
Can you replace the lock on my Winchester period timber door?
Yes — we fit sympathetic mortice locks (BS 3621 insurance-rated) on Georgian and Victorian timber doors. We can supply traditional brass and bronze finishes that match the heritage appearance.
Should I upgrade to an anti-snap cylinder?
Yes if your current cylinder is 10+ years old. Most UK home insurers now require TS007 3-star or SS312 Diamond rated cylinders.
My UPVC door won't lock — can you come today?
We offer same-day or next-day appointments where possible for active lockouts and security concerns. Call 023 8001 2328 to check today's availability.
