Lockmaster gearbox replacement on French doors in Scawthorpe

We recently attended a tenanted property just off York Road in Scawthorpe, Doncaster, where the tenant struggled to lock the rear uPVC French doors.

The locking mechanism had become increasingly difficult to operate before failing, leaving the doors unable to lock securely.

After inspecting the doors, we found that the gearbox had failed inside the original multipoint locking mechanism.

Lockmaster Gearbox Replaced and French Doors Realigned

Fortunately, the original multipoint locking strip was still serviceable, so we didn’t need to replace the entire mechanism.

We fitted a replacement Lockmaster gearbox and carefully realigned both French doors. This helped the locking points engage correctly without putting unnecessary pressure on the new gearbox.

The repair restored smooth operation, allowing the tenant to open, close and securely lock the doors again.

Replacing the failed gearbox rather than the complete multipoint mechanism provided a straightforward, cost-effective repair for the landlord.
