uPVC doors are meant to feel smooth and predictable, lift the handle, turn the key, and you are in or out without a fight. If your uPVC door is sticking, the key feels rough, or the lock has failed completely, Kyox Locksmiths of Rochdale can help with uPVC door lock changes and repairs for homes, flats, and small businesses across Rochdale and nearby areas.
When things start to go wrong, it often shows up as a stiff handle, a lock that only works sometimes, or a door that suddenly will not open at all. Whether you need a simple euro cylinder replacement, help after lost keys, or a full multi-point mechanism repair, we start by checking what is actually causing the problem, so you do not pay for parts you do not need.
Some uPVC lock problems start small and then get worse fast. If you spot any of these signs, it's usually smarter to deal with it before you're locked out.
uPVC doors often use a multi-point locking system. That means the problem can be in different places, and not every issue needs a full lock strip replacement.
This is the most common uPVC lock change. If the cylinder is worn, damaged, or you want improved security, replacing the euro cylinder can solve the issue quickly. We can also match the cylinder to your existing keys or change the keys entirely, depending on what you need.
If the internal gearbox has failed, the latch is not engaging, or the door will not lock even with a working key, the multi-point mechanism may need repair or replacement. We will check the symptoms and explain the options clearly before work begins.
Sometimes the lock is not the real problem. uPVC doors can drop slightly over time, or the keeps can shift. If the door is out of alignment, the locking points may not line up. In those cases, a practical adjustment can restore smooth locking and reduce strain on the mechanism.
If you are locked out, our goal is always to get you back in with as little disruption as possible. We use non-destructive methods where the situation allows. If a lock is seized, damaged, or has been attacked, drilling may be the only practical option. If that is the case, we explain what is happening and what needs replacing before we proceed.
We keep the process simple and transparent, especially when you are dealing with a stuck door or an urgent lock issue .
If you need a lock change because of lost keys, a tenancy change, or security concerns, we can talk through practical upgrade options as well.

Yes. In most cases, the door stays in place and we replace either the euro cylinder or the internal multi-point mechanism, depending on what has failed.
It can be a failed cylinder, a problem with the mechanism, or the door being out of alignment. We check the symptoms on-site and explain what needs to be replaced or adjusted.
We use non-destructive methods where possible. If the lock is seized, damaged, or has been attacked, drilling may be necessary. If that happens, we will explain why and what will be replaced.
A standard cylinder change is often quick once the correct part is confirmed. Mechanism replacements and alignment issues can take longer. The best way to get an accurate expectation is to call and describe the issue.
Avoid forcing the remaining piece, as it can make extraction harder. Call us and we will advise on the safest next step.
