A window that won’t lock is a weak point in your home or business. A lock that is stiff, loose or worn out can also leave the window hard to close properly. Adapt Locks is a family-run locksmith in Bracknell, and we repair and replace uPVC window locks for homes and commercial properties. There is no call-out fee, and we aim to reach you within 30 to 45 minutes.
Window locks wear down with years of daily use. These are the faults we see most often:
Don’t leave these problems for later. A window that can’t lock securely is easy to open from outside, and a faulty mechanism often gets worse until the window stops working altogether.
The handle on a uPVC window is connected to a locking mechanism inside the frame. When you turn the handle, a gearbox moves locking points along the edge of the sash, and these engage with keeps on the frame to hold the window shut. Some windows also have a key-operated lock in the handle.
If any part of this system wears or breaks, the window may not close or lock fully. That is why we check the whole mechanism, not just the part you can see.
A faulty lock doesn’t always mean a new one. We start by inspecting the window, the handle, the gearbox and the locking points to find the cause.
We explain what we’ve found before any work starts, so you know which option makes sense.
Not every lock fits every uPVC window. The right replacement depends on the make of the window, the type of locking mechanism and the handle fitted. Here is what we do:
We work on both residential and commercial properties, including rented homes.

Often, yes. If the handle, gearbox or keep is the problem and the rest of the mechanism is sound, we can repair that part. If the lock is worn out or damaged, we’ll recommend a replacement.
The right lock depends on your window’s make and mechanism. We inspect the window first and fit a replacement that matches it, so you don’t need to find the part yourself.
No. In most cases the fault is in the lock, handle or mechanism, and replacing that part restores the window.
