Upvc door repairs in Sheffield

Professional uPVC door repairs in Sheffield

When did all begin

Double glazing evolved during the 1970s. At that time, manufacturers made it with aluminium. It is still used today but is better suited to commercial environments. In the 1980s, uPVC replaced aluminium as the top choice. It became the standard material used across the country in the 1990s. By the year 2000, manufacturers used beaded frames and offered better security. You can read on for information on uPVC door repairs in Sheffield.

I have a problem with my uPVC door.

What options do you have for fixing your uPVC door?

• The door won’t lock

• The door won’t open

• The key is stuck in the lock.

• There is a gap letting air in, or the door is difficult to lock.

• My handles could be more wobbly.

The door won’t lock.

There are two reasons why this will happen. First, could you do a simple test? Could you open the door and leave it ajar? Then, could you lift the handle and turn the key? If it locks, that’s good—it needs a service. The door has gone out of square and needs aligning. If the multipoint lock doesn’t lock, it’s broken and needs a replacement. We carry all the parts required to replace your existing lock and have you safe and secure.

The door won’t open.

It is a common occurrence and something we deal with many times a week. The key is turning, and you can hear the door unlocking, but the handle is not going down to release the door. The lock will have failed. But SF Locksmith can open your door and replace all the needed parts.  The cost of this will be less than a replacement door.

The door won’t open.

It is a common occurrence and something we deal with many times a week. The key is turning, and you can hear the door unlocking, but the handle is not going fully down to release the door. The locking mechanism will have failed, but SF Locksmith has the skill and knowledge to open your door and replace all the required parts.  The cost of this will be considerably less than a replacement door.

The key is stuck in the lock.

A few things can have happened here. The barrel could be faulty and need swapping, or the mechanism could have jammed up on the key. SF Locksmith can quickly sort this out; we are just a phone call away.

There is a gap letting air in, or it is challenging to lock the door.  

These are signs that the door is no longer square in the frame. The door will need repacking, which involves removing the internal beads and setting the panel square again. The hinges could have moved and need adjusting. Usually, both of these need to be done together, so I recommend using our services rather than attempting a DIY attempt. Invariably, I have encountered previous attempts that have worsened the situation. 

I need to fix my handles.

This could mean we need new handles or the mechanism is failing. We can replace both and end the hassle of searching for materials. Could you send a video via WhatsApp to 07990573857? I can then tell you about the issue and which of the two options it could be.
