uPVC door service Doncaster

uPVC doors have been popular since the 1980s and continue to be so, though composite doors are also increasingly in demand. Though you were sold them as being maintenance-free, this is not the case. Heat, both hot and cold, affects the doors, along with any movement within the frame. If the doors are not correctly aligned, the locks will eventually become difficult to lock.

Do I need a new door?

Rest assured, I don’t fit new doors; I specialize in repairing uPVC doors. Regardless of how your door is fitted or its current condition, I am confident in my ability to service it effectively.

My door will not lock unless I force the handle.

This is the most common scenario of a door in desperate need of attention. After years of use, the door will be out of alignment. It could be touching at the top and rubbing on the keeps. If the door is too far from the frame, a common occurrence, it will hinder easy locking.

If this is the case with your door, it means we need to consider the options. The problem may be with the hinges. It could also be that the door is no longer a perfect rectangle. Adjusting the hinges can look easy, but if you overdo things, matters will get worse. Getting a door back square can involve the “toe and healing technique.” A series of packers hold the centre panel in place. These can dislodge, and the door is no longer the correct shape.

Rest assured, all these issues can be resolved for a relatively small amount of money compared to replacing the door. This cost-effective solution ensures you don’t have to break the bank for a fully functional uPVC door.

The door will not open.

If this is the case, I get the call, “The door has just dropped.” I don’t think so. This will be a case of a broken multipoint lock. Still, it’s not a problem for SF Locksmiths, but the parts will need changing. This can double the repair price, but it’s still much cheaper than a new door.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Take control and arrange an appointment to have your uPVC door serviced in Doncaster. Proactive maintenance can prevent potential issues from escalating.
