Already this week I’ve been called out to several uPVC doors which have become difficult to open, close or lock, especially if the sun has been shining directly on them. This is due to the plastic swelling as the temperature rises.
If this happens to your uPVC door during the hot weather, then it may just need adjusting and realigning. The best thing to do is get it looked at as soon as possible, before it starts to disrupt the mechanism. DON’T try and force the door to lock if it doesn’t seem to be working correctly when you lift up the handle.
It’s a much bigger and more expensive job to replace a mechanism than it is to get your door adjusted. So if you can see or feel any difference in your uPVC door, give me a call on 07940 230177, or message me on my page.
Don’t let the heat catch you out. Get in touch today. ☀️🔑
