uPVC door problems are one of our core specialisms. Whether your handle has dropped, your door won't close properly, or the lock won't engage — we diagnose the root cause and fix it properly.
When a uPVC door starts playing up, the worry is always that the whole mechanism needs replacing. Usually it doesn’t. A handle that drops in the morning but works fine later in the day is typically a gearbox failure. A door that’s suddenly hard to lock is often one that’s dropped fractionally in the frame — an alignment issue, not a mechanism issue. The two faults look similar from the outside but need completely different fixes.
We work on uPVC mechanisms every day — Fullex, ERA, Avocet, Yale, Mila, Kenrick, Winkhaus, Hoppe. We know which gearboxes fail first on which doors, which spindles wear out fastest, which rollers tend to crack. That experience means we diagnose quickly and bring the right part rather than ordering in and coming back.
We stock common gearboxes, spindles, hooks, and rollers, so most repairs are done on the first visit. You’ll get a clear diagnosis before we touch anything.
