Expert uPVC Services
uPVC doors are prone to expansion and contraction, which can lead to jammed handles or failed gearboxes. Our services include:
- Mechanism Alignment: Re-aligning doors that have dropped or become difficult to lock.
- Gearbox Replacement: Replacing the internal mechanism if your handle is spinning or jammed.
- Anti-Snap Cylinder Upgrades: Protecting your home against “lock snapping” with 3-star TS007 cylinders.

Protecting Your Home from Lock Snapping
Standard euro cylinders found in many uPVC doors are vulnerable to a common burglary technique called lock snapping. We strongly recommend upgrading to high-security cylinders that are designed to resist this. Whether you need a simple lock repair or a full lock upgrade, our team carries the necessary stock on every call.
