“Locked out at 1am after a wedding in town. Rang the (01) number and a real Dublin man answered straight away — no menu, no call centre. Eighteen minutes later he was at the door of my apartment on Rathmines Road and had me inside in five without a single mark on the door. Charged exactly the €95 he quoted on the phone. Genuinely brilliant service. I will be saving the number for life.”
Multipoint Lock Repair — Dublin
Multipoint mechanism repair across all UPVC, composite and aluminium doors.
4.9/5 from 250+ verified Dublin reviews
If your UPVC or composite front door has gone "floppy" or stiff, the gearbox inside the multipoint locking strip has failed. We fix this several times a day across Dublin and carry replacement gearboxes and full strips for every common brand on the van.
Brands we carry on every van
GU (Ferco), Fuhr, Roto, Winkhaus, Maco, ERA, Yale, Avocet, Lockmaster, Mila, Saracen, ASEC, Fullex, Yale Lockmaster.
How we diagnose
- Lift the handle test — does the handle move freely without the door open? If not, the gearbox is the issue.
- Identify the brand and gearbox case shape — measured from the centre of the cylinder hole to the centre of the spindle.
- Match the gearbox from stock — we carry the four most common case shapes which cover roughly 90% of Irish doors.
- Replace, test and adjust — usually under an hour from arrival.
What it costs
Multipoint mechanism replacement is €175 – €245 depending on the brand and door type — fixed price agreed before we start. See the full price list ?
Common signs your gearbox is going
- Handle goes floppy and doesn't spring back
- Have to lift the handle very high to lock the door
- Door drops when opened — alignment is off
- Locking points (top, bottom, hooks) don't engage
- Key turns but the door won't open

Reviews
“Came home from work to a UPVC front door I couldn't get open — handle had gone completely floppy. Got a fixed price of €185 on the phone before he left and that's exactly what I paid. Fitted a new gearbox in under an hour and showed me what had gone wrong with the old one. Polite, tidy and made sure I had three working keys before he left. Top class.”
“Genuinely the fastest locksmith I've ever used in Dublin. Locked the keys inside the apartment in Beacon South Quarter, rang at 11pm, was at my door in twelve minutes. €95 fixed price, no call-out fee on top, no hidden anything. He even waited to make sure my new keys worked before driving off. I have his number saved as "the locksmith who actually shows up".”
“Came out on a Sunday morning for a burglary repair in Tyrrelstown. House had been hit Saturday night while we were away for a christening. Replaced the snapped cylinder with an anti-snap one, fitted a new mortice on the back door and gave us a written report for the insurance — all in under two hours. The insurance handler said it was the cleanest report she'd seen all month. Highly recommend.”
“Lost my car keys somewhere in the long-term car park at Dublin Airport coming back from a trip. Called the AA first — they wanted to tow it to the dealer, two days minimum, €400+. Rang Locksmiths.ie instead, the auto-locksmith van was at the car in twenty minutes, cut and programmed a new key on the spot, total €165 fixed price. Drove home that evening. Lifesavers.”
“My elderly mother locked herself out of her apartment near Spencer Dock late on a Saturday night. She's 84 and I was an hour away. The lad on the phone reassured her, was there in fifteen minutes, opened the door without damage, made sure she had a cup of tea before he left. Charged me the standard €95. The kind of service you don't expect any more in Dublin.”
