Why specialist matters
Why a specialist gets it right first time
Most door problems do not need a new door. They need the right diagnosis, the right part and the alignment checked afterwards.
General route
Replace-first approach
- Door will not lock: replacement is suggested before the mechanism is tested.
- Only common cylinders are carried, so mechanism faults can become second visits.
- Composite, bifold, patio and sliding doors may be treated as awkward edge cases.
- The failed part is changed without checking why the strain happened.
- The user is left guessing whether the price or part route will change on arrival.
LockMend specialist
Repair-first approach
- Door is tested open and closed so gearbox, keeps and alignment are separated.
- Common gearboxes, cylinders, handles and mechanism parts are planned into the visit.
- uPVC, composite, bifold, patio, sliding and window hardware are inside the core scope.
- Alignment, hinges and keeps are checked so the same fault is less likely to return.
- The repair route and price are explained before work starts.
We know the mechanisms, carry common parts and check why the fault happened. One visit, done properly where practical.

FAQ
Common questions
Can't find your answer? Call or WhatsApp, Vitaly can often diagnose a problem over the phone before you commit to a visit.
Get in touchDo you cover all types of doors and windows?
LockMend can assess uPVC, composite, timber, bifold, patio and sliding doors, plus standard window hardware. The focus is mechanisms, locks, handles, hinges and alignment, not new doors, frames or glazing.
Can you repair a mechanism on any brand of door?
Most common UK mechanism brands can be repaired, replaced or sourced depending on the fault and part availability. Send a photo of the strip, lock or gearbox if you are unsure.
Do you carry parts with you on the first visit?
Common cylinders, handles, gearboxes and mechanism parts are planned into the visit where possible. The exact route depends on the fault, door type and part availability.
What if you can't fix it?
LockMend uses a no fix, no fee approach where a repair is not possible within the agreed scope. If the issue is outside locks, mechanisms, handles, hinges or alignment, the next practical option will be explained.
How do I know which service I need?
You do not need to know the part name before calling. Describe the symptom, for example door will not lock, key will not turn, handle is stiff or window will not secure, and the likely service route can be identified.
