My Isleworth flat has a UPVC door that won't lock properly. Is that a lock problem or a door problem?

Usually the door itself has dropped slightly on its hinges, so the multi-point mechanism can't engage the keep correctly. We'll check the alignment first before touching the lock, because replacing the mechanism on a misaligned door just gives you the same problem six months later. Most of the time a hinge adjustment and a strike plate tweak sorts it without needing new parts.

TW7~3 miles from town centre12-month guarantee on parts supplied and fitted

Isleworth sits about three miles from central Richmond, roughly a 10-12 minute drive for us on a clear run. TW7 covers a real mix, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old village core near Church Street, to post-war semis, 1970s estates further north, and some newer riverside conversions along the Thames. We get a steady flow of work here, lockouts on older front doors with worn cylinders, security upgrades on semis, and the occasional commercial job from the light industrial pockets near the Great West Road corridor.

We come in via the A316 then cut through on St John's Road or drop down Richmond Road depending on traffic. Church Street and the streets around Twickenham Road have original Victorian timber doors, some still on three-lever mortice locks that are well past their best. The riverside flats near Railspur Wharf tend to have multi-point UPVC locks that need specialist attention when they drop or misalign. Honestly, Isleworth has more outdated lock hardware than most of the surrounding area, which means there's rarely a quick in-and-out job here.

Isleworth FAQ

If you call between about 7.30 and any hour or 4.30 and 6.30pm, we'll route via the back roads through St Margarets rather than sitting on the A316. It adds a couple of minutes to the route but usually gets us to you faster. Outside peak hours we're typically with you in 15-20 minutes.
