How to maintain uPVC doors for long-lasting performance.
To maintain a uPVC door, keep the frame clean, check seals, avoid forcing stiff handles, watch for dropped hinges and get locks or alignment repaired early. Small faults can damage multipoint locks if they are ignored.

Do not force stiff hardware
A stiff handle or key often means the lock is not lining up cleanly. Forcing it can turn an alignment adjustment into a larger mechanism repair.
Use maintenance as a repair trigger
If the door starts catching, draughting, sticking or failing to lock smoothly, it is time to ask for repair advice rather than waiting until the door will not secure.
Repair should be checked first when the fault is a lock, handle, barrel, hinge, seal or alignment issue. Replacement is stronger when the frame, slab, security or finish is beyond sensible repair.
What details help with a door quote?
Send photos of the full door, handle, lock, hinges and threshold, plus your location and whether the door is currently secure.
Is a door that will not lock urgent?
Yes. If the property cannot be secured, call the office rather than waiting on a non-urgent form reply.
