About this service

Composite doors are heavier than uPVC and put far more load on the hinges and multipoint lock, so dropped slabs, stiff hooks and snapped cylinders are common. We repair composite door locks across West London, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire — realigning the slab, replacing failed multipoint mechanisms, fitting TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders and swapping worn handles and letterplates that leak security.

What's included

  • Dropped or dragging composite doors realigned at the hinges
  • Multipoint mechanisms replaced for Solidor, Rockdoor, Hurst and generic slabs
  • TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders fitted to defeat lock snapping
  • Handle, letterplate and cylinder guard upgrades
  • Weather-seal and keep adjustment for draught-free closing

Our process

Step 01

Check the alignment first

Most composite complaints are hinge drop rather than lock failure — we measure before we sell you parts.

Step 02

Identify the mechanism

Slab thickness, backset and hook layout determine the correct replacement gearbox.

Step 03

Repair or replace

Adjust hinges and keeps, or fit a new multipoint and cylinder where the gearbox is worn out.

Step 04

Security upgrade

Optional 3-star cylinder and security handle so the door meets insurance requirements.

Where we cover

We provide composite door locks across West London, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, including:

Common questions

Usually the slab has dropped on its hinges so the hooks no longer line up with the keeps. Hinge adjustment often fixes it entirely.
