uPVC Doors & Windows

B&B Locksmiths Oxford provide uPVC door and window locksmith services for homes, flats, rental properties, landlords, letting agents and commercial premises across Oxford and Oxfordshire.

​

uPVC doors and windows are commonly fitted to modern homes and businesses because they are practical, secure and low maintenance. However, the locks, handles, hinges, keeps, cylinders and mechanisms all need to work correctly to keep the property safe, secure and easy to use.

​

Many uPVC doors use a multipoint locking system. When the handle is lifted and the key is turned, the mechanism secures the door at several points along the frame. If the door drops, becomes misaligned, or the locking mechanism becomes worn, the handle may feel stiff, the key may not turn properly, or the door may fail to lock securely.

​

Common uPVC door problems include stiff handles, faulty gearboxes, dropped doors, broken handles, worn cylinders, jammed locks, failed multipoint mechanisms and doors that will not lock or unlock properly.

​

uPVC windows can also develop problems with handles, hinges, locking strips, espagnolette mechanisms and keeps. A faulty uPVC window lock or mechanism can leave the window difficult to open, unable to close properly, jammed shut, draughty or insecure.

​

In many cases, the faulty part can be repaired, adjusted or replaced without replacing the full door or window. This may include changing a Euro cylinder, replacing a gearbox, fitting new handles, adjusting keeps, repairing hinges or replacing a window locking mechanism.

Security upgrades are also available for uPVC and composite doors, including anti-snap Euro cylinders, stronger handles and suitable replacement locking hardware where required.

​

Correct diagnosis is important. Forcing a stiff handle or key can cause further damage to the gearbox or multipoint lock. A proper repair should check the door alignment, locking points, cylinder, handles, keeps and mechanism.
