Gearboxes
Most UPVC door locks are gear-driven, hence the popular name of the gearbox. In technical terms, these are called center cases because they form the central part of the multi-point locking mechanism. When the center case fails, in an open or shut position, the handle or the key will be difficult or impossible to operate.

Handles
A misaligned door can put unnecessary strain on the gearbox and especially the handle on the UPVC door. As such, the handle can wear out prematurely, requiring to be repaired or replacement to be fitted. We can supply and install, repair, replace or upgrade a wide variety of UPVC door handles, to suit every budget and requirements.

Multi-point locking mechanisms
The full lock on the UPVC door is called the multi-point locking mechanism and usually consists of three or more locking points. Centre case or gearbox, top and bottom locking points, which in turn can have one or multiple shoot bolts, rollers, or hooks. Any part of the multi-point locking mechanism can fail and require the repair or replacement of the specific section, or the entire lock.

Door keeps
The keeps on the UPVC door are fitted to the frame, and have the role of receiving the latch, shoot bolt, rollers, or hooks and in turn securing the door. If one or more sections of the keep are misaligned, the handle or the key can be difficult or impossible to operate. This needs adjusting or repairing as soon as possible, as it can cause premature wear or even permanent damage to the lock or handle.

Cylinder locks
The center case or gearbox is operated by the so-called lock barrel, in technical terms correctly called cylinder lock, rarely the center case being a mortice type lock ( ERA Vectis 5 Lever). The most common type is the euro-cylinder lock, in its various sizes and setups, with the most common being key-key or thumb turn. Irrespective of the type, they can wear out and fail, the most common broken part being the cam or the worn-out pins.

Hinges
Most hinges on the UPVC doors are repairable, rarely requiring a replacement. They can be adjusted, allowing the door to be shut without clashing with the frame. When the hinge is adjusted, it also correctly aligns the lock with the keep on the frame, eliminating the UPVC door lock sticking symptoms.

Door realignment and adjustment
After adjusting the hinge and the keeps, and the door is still presenting difficulties with the handle or lock being difficult to operate, the next step is what is called UPVC door realignment and adjusting. It involves removing the glass and plastic panels from the door, and repacking them in order to achieve the correct toe and heel setup.
