My uPVC door was fitted about 15 years ago and the key is getting stiff. Do I need a new door or just a new lock?

Almost always just the cylinder and sometimes the multipoint mechanism, not the door itself. A lot of the doors fitted across Greenford in the mid-2000s used cheap cylinders that wear out and are also vulnerable to snapping. We can swap the cylinder for a British Standard anti-snap one in under half an hour and the door will feel completely different.

Greenford sits in UB6, roughly a 10-minute drive west from central Ealing, and it's a proper mix of housing. You've got long runs of 1930s and 1950s semis along the main residential streets, some 1970s council-built terraces, and pockets of newer infill development closer to the Westway Industrial Estate end. We get called out here regularly for lockouts, lock upgrades after break-ins, and worn-out mechanisms on ageing uPVC doors that haven't been serviced since they were fitted.

We usually come in via the A40 and drop down through Greenford Road or Ruislip Road East depending on the job. Oldfield Lane, Conway Avenue and the streets around Ravenor Park give us a steady flow of work, mostly on those 1930s semis with their original or replacement multipoint uPVC doors. The honest truth about Greenford is that a lot of those replacement doors went in cheap during the 2000s and the cylinders on them are well overdue for an anti-snap upgrade.

Greenford FAQ

It can, especially during morning and evening rush hours when the A40 backs up badly between Hanger Lane and the Greenford junction. If you call during peak times, we'll give you an honest estimate. Off-peak we're usually with you in under 25 minutes. We'll always tell you upfront rather than promise a time we can't keep.
