FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Having trouble with your uPVC door lock? Whether your door is stiff, jammed, or the handle is spinning, you need fast, reliable, and honest answers. As a local specialist with nearly two decades of experience, Chris at Pentland Locksmiths offers professional and affordable uPVC door lock repairs, prioritizing fixing over replacing. Below are the answers to the five most common questions we receive from homeowners across Midlothian, Edinburgh, and East Lothian.

No, absolutely not. Forcing a stiff handle is the most common cause of a full mechanism or gearbox failure, which significantly increases the cost of the repair. If your door is stiff, it likely needs a professional realignment or adjustment of the keeps. Contact Chris at Pentland Locksmiths as soon as you notice stiffness; a quick alignment can prevent a much more expensive repair.

The most frequent issues Chris at Pentland Locksmiths repairs involve the multipoint locking strip and the gearbox. Common faults include:

  • The handle feeling “floppy” or loose (often a sign of a broken gearbox).

  • The key turning but the lock not engaging (can also be the gearbox or cylinder failure).

  • A jammed or stuck door where the handle won’t move. Chris is well-known for tackling and repairing these common faults across Midlothian, Edinburgh, and East Lothian.

Chris’s philosophy is to “fix first” where possible to keep costs down for the customer. With extensive experience, he can often replace just the faulty component, such as the gearbox, or correct door misalignment. A full multipoint locking strip replacement is only carried out if the repair is not cost-effective or if the parts are obsolete.

Yes, this is a highly recommended security upgrade. Chris can upgrade your existing uPVC Euro cylinder lock to a high-security, Anti-Snap, Anti-Pick, Anti-Drill cylinder. This protects your home from common intruder techniques. He fits top-tier locks such as the Ultion 3 Star Plus Cylinder Locks.

Chris provides a prompt, local, and reliable service across:

  • Midlothian (e.g., Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith, Penicuik).

  • Edinburgh (all areas).

  • East Lothian (e.g., Musselburgh, Tranent, Prestonpans). As a local expert, he is often able to offer a same-day response to secure your property quickly.
