More Information
Signs Your uPVC Lock Needs Attention
A uPVC door lock that needs lifting to turn the key, will not lock at the top or bottom, or feels stiff and difficult to operate is showing signs of wear or misalignment. Left unattended, these issues tend to get worse over time and can eventually lead to the lock or gearbox failing completely. Catching the problem early usually means a simpler, cheaper repair.
How We Diagnose the Fault
uPVC locks rely on a gearbox and multiple locking points along the edge of the door, so a fault in one area can affect how the whole system operates. We check the alignment of the door in its frame, the condition of the hinges, and the gearbox itself to find the actual cause of the problem, rather than just replacing parts at random.
Getting Your Door Locking Properly Again
Once we know what is causing the fault, we carry out the repair using genuine or compatible parts suited to your door. In many cases this means your existing uPVC door does not need replacing at all, just the faulty component within the locking mechanism. We test the door thoroughly before we leave, checking it locks smoothly from top to bottom.
ABOUT US
A homeowner in Denton Holme contacted us after their back door had stopped locking at the top point, leaving the whole family uneasy about security. On inspection we found the gearbox inside the uPVC door had started to fail, and we replaced the part that afternoon, restoring smooth, secure locking without the cost or disruption of a new door.
