What Can Go Wrong?

Why uPVC doors stop working smoothly
A door that catches, drops or needs the handle lifted with force may be out of alignment. Hinges, locking keeps and multipoint mechanisms work together; a small change in door position can affect several locking points. Loose handles and worn seals can create additional problems.
Repairing the right component
Depending on the system, the solution may involve hinge adjustment, correcting alignment or replacing compatible handles, cylinders or locking components. A door that will not lock securely should be treated as a priority, and the mechanism should not be forced.
Common issues we can discuss
- Dropped doors and rubbing frames
- Stiff multipoint locking systems
- Broken handles and compatible hardware
- Draughts and damaged door gaskets
When replacement is unnecessary
A serviceable uPVC door does not automatically need replacing because one component has failed. The condition of the sash, frame and available hardware determines the sensible option. Tell us whether the door is stuck open, stuck closed or simply difficult to operate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my uPVC door catch on the frame?
Door hinges can move or wear over time, causing the door to drop or become misaligned. An inspection can identify whether adjustment is possible.
Can a uPVC door that will not lock be repaired?
Often the cause is misalignment or a faulty multipoint locking component. The mechanism must be checked before deciding on a repair.
Can you replace a broken uPVC door handle?
Compatible handles can often be replaced without changing the entire door. Measurements and the existing lock arrangement matter.
Why is my uPVC door letting in draughts?
Worn seals, incorrect compression or door misalignment may leave gaps. The cause should be assessed before fitting new seals.
Do I need a new door if the hinges are worn?
Not always. Suitable replacement hinges or adjustment may restore operation when the door and frame remain serviceable.
What should I do if my uPVC door is stuck shut?
Avoid forcing the handle or door, as this may worsen the damage. Contact us with the symptoms and whether the door is secure.
