What causes this

There can be individual reasons or a culmination. What can be surprising is that heat and cold affect the doors. They can expand in direct Sun and during a prolonged spell of hot weather. Conversely, the freezing temperatures also has an effect and causes contraction.

Over time, the doors tend to “drop,” which is, in most cases, an incorrect term. They are more likely to lean and be closer to the frame at the top of the door and further away at the bottom. This is the most common reason for difficulty closing and locking. The door needs to be square in the frame, and if not, force will be required to get the door to lock.

Can they drop?

uPVC doors can indeed ‘drop ‘, either on the hinges or within the panel itself. The panel is kept square by a series of packers placed in specific spots to maintain the perfect rectangle. The door can twist and drop in one corner if these packers dislodge. Correcting this issue requires a process called ‘toe and heeling’, a complex repair technique best left to professionals.

Is it expensive to service a door?

Our policy is simple: the charge remains the same whether we fix your door in two minutes or two hours. However, if the door is beyond repair, we won’t charge a call-out fee. But remember, if you continue to force a faulty door to lock, it can lead to expensive consequences. The multipoint lock could break, necessitating a costly replacement.
