uPVC door alignment
When the door is hard to close, lift or lock
uPVC door problems are not always a failed lock. Alignment, hinges and keeps can place extra load on the multipoint mechanism.
Dropped or misaligned uPVC door
We assess how the door sits in the frame and whether alignment is preventing the locking points from engaging correctly.
Handle is stiff when lifting
A stiff handle can be related to alignment or the multipoint mechanism. The cause is checked before parts are replaced.
Door catches or will not close smoothly
Hinges, keeps and door position can be checked and adjusted where suitable to restore smoother operation.
Lock works with the door open but not closed
This often points to an alignment or engagement issue and should be diagnosed before replacing the lock.
Does a hard-to-lock uPVC door always need a new gearbox?
No. Alignment and hinge issues can create similar symptoms, so the door and mechanism should be assessed first.
Can you realign a dropped uPVC door?
Where the hinges and door allow suitable adjustment, alignment can be corrected to help the locking points engage properly.
