Common UPVC Door Problems We Repair
We regularly deal with everyday door faults as well as complete multipoint locking failures. If you’re unsure what has failed, don’t keep forcing the handle or key. Call us and we’ll help diagnose the problem.
Door Won’t Lock
Door refuses to secure, handle won’t lift or locking points don’t engage.
Door Won’t Unlock
Key turns but the door stays shut, or the mechanism is jammed.
Floppy Handle
Handle drops, spins or no longer operates the locking mechanism.
Key Problems
Key won’t turn, becomes stuck or operates inconsistently.
Door Catching
Door rubs, catches or needs pulling/pushing before it will lock.
Mechanism Failure
Multipoint gearbox or full locking strip has failed.
UPVC Door Gearbox & Mechanism Repairs
Inside many UPVC and composite doors is a multipoint locking mechanism. When you lift the handle, this mechanism operates several locking points along the door.
The gearbox inside the mechanism can eventually fail. Common symptoms include a floppy handle, the door refusing to unlock, the key turning but nothing happening, or the handle becoming increasingly difficult to lift.
Where possible, we’ll identify the failed component rather than automatically replacing unnecessary parts. Depending on the mechanism, we may be able to replace the gearbox or multipoint mechanism and get your existing door working properly again.
Handle Suddenly Floppy
The internal gearbox may no longer be engaging.
Key Turns, Nothing Happens
A failed gearbox or mechanism can cause this symptom.
Handle Hard to Lift
Misalignment can place excess pressure on the mechanism.
Is Your Door Difficult to Lock?
A stiff door doesn’t necessarily mean the lock is broken.
UPVC and composite doors can move or drop over time. When this happens, the locking points may no longer line up correctly with the keeps in the frame.
You may notice you have to pull the door towards you before locking it, the handle needs excessive force, the key becomes difficult to turn, or the door catches against the frame.
Catching the problem early could prevent a more expensive mechanism failure.
UPVC & Composite Door Alignment
Depending on the cause, we can inspect and adjust:
- Hinges
- Door alignment
- Locking points
- Keeps
- Toe and heel adjustment
- Multipoint mechanism operation
The aim is simple: your door should close and lock without needing excessive force.
Toe & Heel Door Adjustment
Some doors require toe and heel adjustment to correctly support the weight of the glass or panel within the door. If the door has dropped, simply adjusting the hinges isn’t always the complete solution.
We can assess whether toe and heel adjustment is appropriate and correctly realign the door.
Locked Out Because Your UPVC Door Has Failed?
If the mechanism has failed while the door is locked, you may not be able to open it normally.
Burhani also provides emergency locksmith callouts across Bradford. Where appropriate, we’ll attempt to gain entry while avoiding unnecessary damage to the door.
Once open, we can diagnose what caused the failure and advise on the appropriate repair.
Emergency Assistance
Door jammed shut, lock failed or keys lost? Call us.
24/7 Callouts

Euro Cylinder Replacement & Security Upgrades
Sometimes the mechanism is fine and the problem is with the cylinder.
We can replace faulty or damaged euro cylinders and provide different security options depending on your door and requirements.
We can also advise on upgrades after lost or stolen keys, moving into a new property, attempted burglary or general home security concerns.
UPVC Door Handle Replacement
Loose, damaged or broken handles can sometimes be replaced without changing the complete locking mechanism.
We can assess the handles, cylinder and mechanism to establish which component is actually causing the problem.
This helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
Composite Door Repairs Bradford
We don’t only repair UPVC doors.
Many composite doors use similar multipoint locking systems and can develop problems with gearboxes, multipoint mechanisms, cylinders, handles, hinges, alignment and locking points.
If your composite door has become difficult to operate, contact us before the problem gets worse.
