uPVC Door Handle Replacement & Adjustment in Nuneaton
🆘 The Problem
We received an urgent call from a real estate agency in Nuneaton regarding a problem at one of their rental properties. The tenant reported that the handle on the main uPVC entrance door had completely fallen off from the outside. The tenant had difficulty locking the door with the key and applied too much force when lifting the handle, which eventually caused it to snap.
🛠️ The Solution
We arrived at the property promptly to investigate. After a thorough inspection, we confirmed that the multi-point locking mechanism itself was in perfect working order. The problem was isolated to the broken uPVC door handle and a slight misalignment of the door within its frame.
To resolve the issue, we carried out the following:
Replaced the broken uPVC handle set with a brand-new unit.
Adjusted the door to ensure smooth opening and closing, which resolved the door alignment issue.
Tested the entire door locking mechanism to confirm it worked flawlessly with the new handle.
✅ The Outcome
After the repair, the door operated like new, providing both security and ease of use for the tenant. The estate agency was pleased with the quick and professional resolution, and the tenant was relieved to have a fully functional, secure entrance again. This case highlights the importance of timely uPVC door repairs. If a uPVC door is difficult to lock, don’t force the handle; it can cause a lock repair to turn into a costly door mechanism replacement. Instead, call a professional locksmith to adjust the door before the problem escalates.
