At Surelock Homes we supply all UPVC gearboxes and UPVC mechanisms, these mechanisms can fail due to them not being maintained properly or because the door has not been fitted correctly. This problem is easily sorted, even though these parts are a little expensive, they are probably not as expensive as you may think.
Many national companies and some independent companies will charge you in the region of £400 to visit, order then replace, do not be fooled by this you should be charged roughly half of that figure in the worst case scenario, there are cheap mechanisms to be found as well as more expensive ones i.e. 4 roller standard around £50, a key operated mechanism (this is where you use the key to lock the door not lift the handle) can be as much as £120 there are over 450 different types on the market so prices do vary.
In the years that we have been trading we have come across a lot of mechanisms that have failed, the costumer has called a glazing company and they have advised to change the door as the mechanism is discontinued. Please do not replace the door, this is not necessary and a very expensive alternative. We can find a replacement at a much lower cost to you, so please call us before you make this decision.
We can also supply only, if you would like to fit them yourself. Please fill in the attached UPVC measuring form and we will then identify which mechanism you have and call you back with a price for supply only as well as a price for supply and fit.
Sometimes the whole mechanism does not need replacing just the centre case. We can also supply any centre cases that can be removed, although in some mechanisms the centre case cannot be removed. This is because it?s pressed on (permanently) at the factory or they may have just been designed not to be removed. Changing the centre case is cheaper then changing the whole mechanism as centre cases range from £20 to the most expensive £90.
If you require expert lock repairs in Portsmouth or find yourself locked out, Surelock Homes locksmiths are experts in this field, so please feel free to call us for any advice that you need. Our phone is always answered by a qualified locksmith.

I highly recommend this service. The locksmith on call was prompt, friendly, and was able to fix a tricky lock on the front door of the flat that was installed incorrectly before we bought the property. He also adjusted the metal plate on the door frame so the door doesn't stick as before. In my opinion he went the extra mile for a reasonable price and definitely earned a 5-star rating. We're keeping Surelock's card on file should we need a locksmith in the future.

From the very first communication with this company you can understand why it has so many 5* reviews. I spoke to Paul on live chat quite late in the evening and explained my situation, he asked simple questions which put me at ease to understand what service I needed, I got a response back from the live chat within seconds, and within a few minutes of talking I had an appointment arranged for first thing the next day. The out of hours service was brilliant and was so convenient. Dan, who was doing the work, called me before he arrived and told me how long he would be, he turnt up exactly on time, and is an absolute credit to the company. He was friendly, polite and engaged in conversation whilst also wanting to get the works done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He didn’t try to upsell me, and due to me needing less work, took money off the final price, which just showed the integrity of the company and how genuine they are. The price of the works was also extremely good value for money, when speaking with family and friends, they were impressed with the price I quoted. I would truly recommend this company to anyone. A brilliant team who work hard to make sure the job is done right and you are given the best service, for the best price.

Dan could not have been better carrying out this unusual job, he was not prepared to be defeated by the difficulties encountered in removing the jammed high security wheel lock on my caravan and used a variety of power tools, common-sense and ingenuity to achieve the desired result. Thoroughly courteous at all times, despite the complexity of the task, I could not recommend this totally professional company more highly.
