uPVC door repairs

uPVC and composite door lock repairs

A stiff handle, jammed key or door that will not lock can be a warning that a uPVC or composite door mechanism needs attention.

Common signs of a mechanism problem

The handle may become difficult to lift, the key may only turn with pressure or the locking points may stop engaging. Continuing to force the door can place more strain on the gearbox and turn a developing fault into a complete failure.

Finding the cause before replacing parts

A similar symptom can be caused by the cylinder, handles, multipoint mechanism or door alignment. SecuriKey checks how the door operates and identifies the failed component before discussing the appropriate repair.

Repair, replacement and adjustment

Depending on the fault, the solution may involve adjustment, a replacement cylinder, new handles or a compatible mechanism. The available options are explained so you understand what is required and why.

Frequently asked questions

Can a uPVC door mechanism be repaired?

Many faults can be repaired or resolved by replacing the failed component. The door and mechanism need to be assessed first.

Why does my handle only lift when I push the door?

That can indicate an alignment issue or strain within the locking mechanism. Avoid forcing it and arrange an inspection.

Do you repair composite door locks too?

Yes. Many composite doors use multipoint locking systems similar to uPVC doors and can be assessed for mechanism, cylinder and alignment faults.
