Door Handle Replacement

Your door handle controls your lock. If it's not working properly, your door isn't properly secured — even if you've turned the key. Fast, affordable replacement — most jobs around £120 + VAT supply and fit, though price varies by handle type.

Your Handle Is Part of Your Lock

On uPVC and composite doors, the handle isn't just a way to open the door — it directly drives the multipoint locking mechanism. Every time you lift the handle and turn the key, the handle is doing the work. When it starts to fail, the locking points stop engaging fully. The door can look locked and feel locked, but it isn't.

A worn or broken handle is one of the most common reasons a door becomes unsecured without the homeowner realising. It's also one of the quickest and most affordable fixes — most jobs are done in under 30 minutes.

Signs Your Handle Needs Replacing

  • Handle feels stiff, floppy, or has play in it
  • You have to force it up to get the key to turn
  • The handle has snapped, cracked, or the fixings have worked loose
  • The door doesn't feel secure when locked
  • The spindle has sheared inside the mechanism

Handle Types I Fit

  • Lever/lever and lever/pad sets for uPVC and composite doors
  • Lever handle sets for timber doors
  • Pull handles for front doors

What's Included

  • Full inspection of the handle, spindle, and locking mechanism
  • Correct replacement sourced to match your door
  • Fitting and alignment checked
  • All locking points tested before I leave
  • Advice on any other issues spotted during the visit
Don't ignore a stiff handle. It rarely gets better on its own. The more you force it, the more damage builds up inside the mechanism — what starts as a handle job can turn into a full lock replacement. Catching it early keeps the cost down.

A Faulty Handle Is an Unsecured Door

Don't wait until it fails completely. If it's stiff, floppy, or feels wrong — call me now and I'll sort it same day — most jobs around £120 + VAT, price depends on the handle.
