UPVC door problems we repair
UPVC and composite door problems often start small. A stiff handle, a door that needs lifting, or a key that feels tight can be a sign that the mechanism is under pressure.
Door will not lock
If the handle will not lift fully, the key will not turn, or the hooks will not engage, the lock may be under pressure or the mechanism may be failing.
Failed gearbox or mechanism
A failed gearbox can leave the door jammed, locked shut or impossible to secure. We can replace faulty gearboxes and multipoint mechanisms.
Key hard to turn
If the key feels stiff or only works when you pull the door, the door may need realigning before the lock is damaged further.
Floppy or loose handles
Loose, floppy or dropped handles can be a sign of wear in the lock case, handle set or internal gearbox.
Security upgrades
We can upgrade weak cylinders to anti-snap options and advise on better handles and locking hardware.
