What Is a Multipoint Locking Mechanism?
A multipoint lock secures the door at several points (usually three or more) along the frame. Operated by lifting the handle and turning the key, these systems are commonly found in:
-
uPVC and composite front & back doors
-
French and patio doors
-
Aluminium shopfront and commercial doors
-
Timber doors with enhanced security features

Multipoint Locking Mechanism Repairs
Secure Locking. Smooth Operation. Long-Term Reliability.
At Essex Door & Window Repairs LTD, we specialise in repairing and replacing multipoint locking mechanisms on uPVC, composite, aluminium, and timber doors across Essex. These systems are vital for security, but when they fail — whether it’s a stiff handle, misaligned hooks, or a jammed lock — you need fast, expert attention.
We restore full locking function without the need to replace the entire door, saving you time and money while keeping your property secure.
Our Multipoint Lock Services Include:
🔧 Fault Diagnosis & Repair
We quickly identify issues such as seized locks, dropped doors, or faulty gearboxes and restore full functionality.
🔄 Lock Mechanism Replacement
We stock and source a wide range of multipoint systems from all major manufacturers — including discontinued or hard-to-find models — and offer high-quality retrofitting.
🛠️ Gearbox Repairs & Swaps
The gearbox is often the culprit when a multipoint lock stops working. We repair or replace it without disturbing the rest of the mechanism.
🪛 Realignment & Adjustment
If your door is stiff or won’t lock, it may be misaligned. We adjust hinges and keeps to restore proper locking and prevent future wear.
🛡️ Upgrades to High-Security Locks
We can upgrade older systems to modern anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-drill cylinders for improved insurance-rated protection.
🏡 We Work On:
uPVC • Composite • Aluminium • Timber Doors
Domestic Homes • Flats • Shops • Offices • Landlord Properties
🔐 Why It Matters:
Multipoint locking systems protect against forced entry, but when one part fails, your whole door can become insecure or unusable. Acting early can prevent complete mechanism failure — and a much costlier replacement.
