The handle won't lift, the key won't turn, or the door's stuck shut. Nine times out of ten it's a worn cylinder or a failing multi-point gearbox — a repair, not a whole new door.

Local answers
UPVC Door Won't Lock or Won't Open in Aberdeen — FAQs
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Aberdeen?
LockSafe dispatches verified locksmiths in Aberdeen 24/7, thanks to our network covering City Centre, Old Aberdeen, Rubislaw, Rosemount and all surrounding Scotland areas.Why won't my UPVC door lock?
Usually a worn euro-cylinder (key won't turn), a failing multi-point gearbox (handle won't lift or springs back), or a dropped door that's binding against the frame. All three are repairs, not whole-door replacements.How much does it cost to fix a UPVC door lock?
A cylinder swap is typically £60–£120 fitted, a multi-point gearbox £120–£220 depending on brand, and a realignment often under £90. A locksmith should show you the worn part before quoting a replacement.My handle is getting stiffer — is that a problem?
Yes — a progressively stiffer handle is a gearbox starting to fail. Get it seen before it jams completely, because forcing it can snap the spindle and turn a cheaper fix into a dearer one.Do I need a whole new door?
Rarely. The slab and frame seldom fail — it's the hardware inside that wears. Unless the frame is rotten or the slab cracked, a locksmith repair restores full function for far less than a replacement door.
