Maco uPVC door lock repair in Harworth and Bircotes

We recently attended a rented property in Harworth and Bircotes, near Doncaster, where the tenants couldn’t open their uPVC door.

The door was jammed shut after the Maco multipoint locking mechanism failed. The landlord had already tried to open it but couldn’t release the lock.

We regularly handle these problems through our uPVC door repair service, often repairing the existing door instead of replacing it.

Jammed uPVC door opened without damage

Using specialist locksmith tools, we opened the jammed door without damaging the door, frame, or surrounding fittings.

Once open, we found that the centre gearbox inside the Maco multipoint locking mechanism had failed.

These gearboxes can wear out over time, particularly when the door is poorly aligned, and the handle becomes difficult to lift.

We removed the faulty gearbox and fitted a suitable replacement to restore the locking mechanism.

We also adjusted the door alignment, checked the locking points and fitted a new lock cylinder.

After completing the repairs, we tested the door to ensure it opened, closed, and locked smoothly.

Maco is a well-known manufacturer of door and window locking hardware. You can find more information on the official MACO website.

The tenants could use their door normally again, and the landlord avoided the expense of replacing the complete door.

Our two-year guarantee covers all replacement parts and labour.
