My UPVC door in Houghton Regis won't lock properly, is it the lock or the door?

Nine times out of ten on the mid-2000s UPVC stock around here it's the multipoint lock mechanism that's worn out, not the door itself. The hinges drop over time too, which puts the locking points out of alignment. We'll check both when we arrive and give you a straight answer before quoting anything.

LU5~3 miles from town centre12-month guarantee on parts supplied and fitted

Houghton Regis sits in the LU5 postcode about 3 miles north-west of central Luton, roughly a 10-minute drive on a clear run. It's a mix of post-war council stock, 1970s semis and more recent estates pushing out towards the A5. Families and long-term residents dominate, and we get a steady mix of lockouts, cylinder replacements and security upgrades. The newer builds bring their own set of multipoint lock problems, while the older semis often have outdated single-cylinder locks that are well overdue a change.

We come in via the A5 or cut through on Bidwell Hill depending on traffic. Parkside and Tithe Farm Road see a fair amount of our call-outs, and the housing around the Houghton Regis town centre has a lot of older UPVC doors fitted with tired mechanisms. The industrial units off Thorn Road and around the retail park on the A5 keep us busy with commercial deadlock work too. Honestly, the volume of worn-out multipoint locks on mid-2000s UPVC doors here is higher than almost anywhere else we cover.

Houghton Regis FAQ

It can during peak hours, particularly on the A5 around the retail park stretch. If the A5 is backed up we'll cut through Bidwell Hill or come via Sundon Road instead. Either way you're usually looking at 20-25 minutes from our base in central Luton, sometimes quicker outside rush hour.
