Is this gearbox suitable for all uPVC doors?

No, it's essential to verify the backset (35mm) and spindle configuration (double) before purchase.

Can I install this myself?

If you have some experience with door hardware, you can. However, professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable with the process.

What is the backset?

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle.

How do I maintain the gearbox?

Regularly lubricate the moving parts with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Keep the lock mechanism clean from debris.

What if the replacement doesn't fix the issue?

The issue might be with another component, like the handles, or the door itself. Consult a professional locksmith.
