Common uPVC Door Problems I Repair

 

Door Won’t Lock or Is Out of Alignment
If your door handle is difficult to lift or the door isn't locking properly, it may be out of alignment. Misalignment places stress on the locking mechanism and can lead to more serious damage if not addressed. Fortunately, this is typically a simple fix that can save you time, effort, and money.

Stiff or Wobbly Handles
Handles that feel too tight or too loose are often the result of a worn-out gearbox or aging hardware. While gearbox repairs can be more complex and costly, replacing the handles is often a quick and affordable alternative.

Key Won’t Turn in the Lock
If your key doesn’t turn, the issue might be a misaligned door, a damaged lock cylinder, or an internal fault. Try using graphite powder in the keyway first—it's safe and might resolve the problem. If not, contact me and we’ll pinpoint the cause and carry out the necessary repair.

Jammed or Faulty Lock
A jammed lock can leave you locked out or in which I consider an urgent issue. If you're stuck, I`ll treat it as a priority and aim to reach you as soon as possible. Patio door repair
