The lock type and measurements are checked so parts match.
2. Repair or replace
The gearbox, full mechanism, handles or cylinder are replaced as needed.
3. Align and test
The door is adjusted so it locks easily.

Questions
My uPVC handle won't lift. What's wrong?
It's usually a worn gearbox or a door that has dropped out of line. Both can usually be fixed.
Do I need a whole new door?
Almost never. The locking mechanism can be replaced without changing the door.
