ABOUT US

Why does my uPVC door keep failing?

uPVC doors have a multipoint locking mechanism with several components that wear over time. The gearbox, locking strips, euro cylinder and hinges all degrade with daily use. Most failures are gradual — a stiffening handle, a door that needs lifting to lock — before the mechanism fails entirely.

COMMON QUESTIONS

uPVC door repair – your questions answered

My uPVC door handle lifts but the door won't lock. What is wrong?

This is almost always a gearbox fault. The gearbox is the mechanism behind the handle that drives the locking points. When it fails, the handle lifts freely but the bolts do not engage. We carry gearboxes for all common uPVC door profiles on every van and replace them same visit.
