Handle will not lift
The hooks or bolts are catching on the frame, or the gearbox inside the door is worn.
Key will not turn
Often the handle is not fully lifted, the door is out of line, or the euro cylinder is worn.
Handle is loose or droops
A broken spring in the handle or the gearbox. Common on doors used every day for years.
Locks only when pushed
The door has dropped or the weatherstrip has swelled, so the locking points no longer meet their keepers.
What a multipoint lock is
A multipoint lock is one long steel strip that runs along the edge of the door. A gearbox sits behind the handle, and hooks, rollers or bolts lock into the frame at several points, usually at the top, middle and bottom.
On most doors you lift the handle up to throw the locking points, then turn the key or thumbturn to lock them in place. Because the door is held at several points, it seals better against weather and is much harder to force than a single deadbolt.
You find them on many newer GTA homes with fibreglass or steel entrance doors, on hinged patio and French doors, and on European-style doors.
Adjust, repair or replace
We check the door, the frame and the lock together before choosing a fix, so you do not pay for parts the door does not need.
Adjust the door and keepers
If the door has dropped, we adjust the hinges and keepers so the locking points meet the frame again.
Replace the gearbox
When only the centre gearbox has failed, we replace it and keep the rest of the strip.
Replace the full strip
If the strip is worn or broken, we fit a matching multipoint lock with the right size and locking points.
Euro cylinder and handles
We rekey or replace the euro cylinder and fit new handles when the old ones are loose or broken.
Multipoint strip replacement on a fibreglass door
The handle on this front door had become hard to lift and the key would not always lock. The old strip was worn, so we fitted a new multipoint lock in the existing door and adjusted the keepers on the frame.
- Matched to the door edge and existing cut-outs
- Keepers on the frame adjusted to the new strip
- Handle, key and every locking point tested with the door closed
Matching parts to your door
Multipoint locks look alike but are not interchangeable. A gearbox or strip has to match:
- The brand and model, often stamped on the faceplate
- The backset and the distance between the handle and the cylinder
- The faceplate width and the length of the strip
- The type and position of the hooks, rollers or bolts
A photo of the whole door edge and any markings helps us find the right part. Email it to [email protected]. If a part is no longer made, we explain the options, including a replacement lock that fits the door. See obsolete and discontinued door hardware.
We work on common brands, including:
- G-U and Ferco
- Hoppe
- Fuhr
- Emtek
- AGB

Handle getting harder to lift? Do not force it. Forcing a multipoint lock is the most common way a gearbox breaks. Call us early and a door adjustment is often enough.
