Real Story: Last winter in Leicester, a homeowner called us because their UPVC front door wouldn't lock properly. After inspection, we discovered a failing gearbox within the multi-point locking system. Instead of replacing the entire door (as another company suggested), we repaired just the faulty part—saving the customer hundreds of pounds.
