Door installation guide

Why should you consider installing uPVC doors?

uPVC doors can improve security, weathering, comfort and appearance when the existing door is tired or beyond repair. If the current fault is only alignment, locks, handles, hinges or seals, repair should be checked before replacing the full door.

Short answer

uPVC doors can improve security, weathering, comfort and appearance when the existing door is tired or beyond repair. If the current fault is only alignment, locks, handles, hinges or seals, repair should be checked before replacing the full door.

The main reasons to replace

Replacement makes sense when the door is insecure, poorly weathered, badly damaged, difficult to maintain or no longer suits the property.

Repairability still matters

uPVC doors use hardware that can often be repaired later. Locks, handles, barrels, hinges and seals should be chosen and installed with long-term serviceability in mind.

Common things to think about

  • Security
  • Weathering
  • Low maintenance
  • Energy performance
  • Style
  • Future repairability

Questions customers ask

  • Should I repair or replace my uPVC door?

    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.
