Problems With Your uPVC Door or Window?
A uPVC door or window that becomes difficult to open, close or lock doesn’t necessarily need a complete new mechanism. The problem could be caused by worn components, poor alignment, a failed gearbox or another part of the locking system.
Phil can diagnose the fault and, wherever possible, repair the existing system rather than replacing parts unnecessarily.
Common problems Phil can help with:
Repair Before Replace
A failed uPVC locking mechanism doesn’t always need to be replaced. In many cases, the fault can be traced to an individual component within the mechanism and repaired instead.
Phil has invested in specialist equipment that allows him to work on mechanisms that might otherwise be considered beyond repair. Where a repair is practical, he’ll always consider that option first rather than replacing the complete system unnecessarily.
uPVC Locking Mechanisms & Gearboxes
Most uPVC doors use a multipoint locking mechanism, with several locking points operating together along the edge of the door. At the centre of the system is a gearbox, which transfers the movement of the handle to the rest of the mechanism.
When something within that system starts to fail, the symptoms aren’t always obvious. A stiff handle, a key that becomes difficult to turn, a door that only locks when pulled or lifted, or a mechanism that suddenly jams can all point to different problems.
Phil can identify where the fault actually lies – whether that’s the gearbox, multipoint mechanism, cylinder, handles or simply the alignment of the door – before deciding what needs repairing or replacing.

uPVC Window Repairs
Problems with uPVC windows can often be repaired without replacing the complete window. Phil can diagnose faults with the locking mechanism, handles and other moving components and replace individual parts where required.
Whether a window has become difficult to open, won’t close or lock properly, or the handle or mechanism has failed completely, the aim is to identify the cause and repair what is actually needed.
