What moves the price
- Gearbox or full strip. Replacing only the centre gearbox costs less than a whole multipoint mechanism, where the maker allows it.
- Matching the part. An old or discontinued mechanism may need a universal replacement or a special order.
- The door's alignment. A dropped door needs adjusting first, or the new mechanism will wear out the same way.
- The cylinder. A new anti-snap cylinder at the same visit starts at £137 fitted on the MLA's list.
- Locked shut. A door that has failed locked has to be opened before it can be repaired, which takes longer.
