When looking for a company or individual to repair a door issue, it is essential, without sounding obvious, to ensure they are:
I personally would only have someone who is a fully qualified and experienced mechanic. I certainly wouldn't rely on a YouTube tutorial from an "Influencer" who emphasises that everything is an "Easy fix" because, trust me, it isn't easy. Making mistakes when repairing a UPVC door is often expensive and inconvenient!
If your door is not locking smoothly, we advise a quick test by yourself and only takes a few seconds:
At the said door that is not locking smoothly, open the door. Whilst open, lift the door handle up (this should engage the multi-point locking mechanism at the side of the door).
Turn the key in the euro lock as if the door was closed to lock the door. If this process is smooth, then the issue is most definitely a realignment issue.
It is essential to correct this alignment problem. Attempting to resolve the problem yourself without the required knowledge and experience can quickly make the situation a lot worse.
Call SheffLOCK if you don't see the answer you are looking for as our team are always available and willing to help.
Suppose you have difficulty opening and closing your door. In that case, it is essential to remedy this problem as quickly as possible via a locksmith who specialises in this area.
The problem will continue to worsen over time, potentially resulting in the locking mechanisms in your UPVC door completely failing and locking the door shut. As a result, leaving your door can become a costly and inconvenient situation.
Over time UPVC doors start to sag in the frame, which is a normal and common occurrence.
