Noisy or stiff uPVC doors: what is causing the problem?
A noisy or stiff uPVC door is often caused by dropped hinges, poor alignment, worn keeps, tired seals, stiff handles or a strained multipoint lock. Avoid forcing the handle or key; early adjustment can prevent a more expensive lock failure.

The fault is often alignment
If the door catches, grinds or needs lifting to lock, the lock points may be fighting the keeps. That puts pressure on handles, cylinders and gearboxes.
Security matters
A door that only just locks is not a healthy door. The page now routes those customers into uPVC door repair, hinges, locks and barrel replacement instead of leaving them on a thin blog post.
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.
