Common Problems with uPVC Doors
Door lock is Stuck
There are normally two different reasons for this problem:
Key will not turn fully in lock
If the key goes into the lock but will not fully turn then the lock is either faulty or there is an alignment issue with your uPVC door and frame. The multi-point locking mechanism may have failed otherwise the security bolt or hooks have jammed.
UPVC door will not shut properly
Lock has not been adjusted correctly or warn loose. Otherwise, door rubber has moved and stopping door from shutting correctly.
Door handle floppy
If you try to lift the door handle but it feels floppy, the common cause is that the handle is now faulty and is worn. Otherwise, it could be the locking mechanism itself.
