uPVC Door Repairs in Hertfordshire

If your uPVC door is stiff, draughty, misaligned or no longer locking properly, we can often fix it without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.

Andrews Glass carry out uPVC door repairs across Hertfordshire – fixing broken handles, failed locks, dropped hinges, damaged seals, misaligned doors and broken glass panels. Based in Sawbridgeworth, we have been trusted locally for over 50 years for glass, glazing, windows and doors.

Is Your uPVC Door Stiff, Draughty or No Longer Locking Properly?

A uPVC door that is not working as it should is more than an inconvenience – it can be a security risk and make the home feel cold and exposed. Most faults do not mean the whole door needs replacing. In many cases, the right repair is quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive.

  • The door sticks, drags or is hard to open and close
  • The lock is stiff, jams or will not engage properly
  • Handles that are loose, broken or no longer operate the mechanism
  • Hinges that have dropped, causing the door to sit unevenly in the frame
  • Cold draughts coming in around the door or through the frame
  • Damaged or broken glazing in the door panel
  • A door that no longer feels secure when locked
  • Uncertainty over whether repair or replacement is the right call

We understand. A door that is not working properly is stressful – particularly when security is involved. Our team will assess the fault honestly, advise whether repair is the right option and carry out the work properly.

uPVC Door Repairs We Carry Out in Hertfordshire

Most uPVC door problems come down to a handful of common faults. Here is what we repair:

uPVC Door Lock Repairs

A lock that sticks, jams or will not engage is one of the most common uPVC door faults – and one of the most important to fix quickly.

  • Multipoint locking mechanism repairs
  • Lock cylinder replacement
  • Gearbox and lock barrel faults
  • Keys that no longer turn smoothly

uPVC Door Handle Repairs

A broken or loose handle can make the door difficult to open and may affect the locking mechanism.

  • Handle replacement – single and double
  • Sprung and non-sprung handle options
  • Handle-to-mechanism alignment
  • Lever and pad handle faults

uPVC Door Hinge Repairs

Dropped or worn hinges cause the door to sit unevenly, drag on the floor or frame, and create gaps that let in draughts.

  • Hinge adjustment and realignment
  • Worn or broken hinge replacement
  • Flag hinge and butt hinge faults
  • Dragging and catching issues

uPVC Door Seal and Draught Repairs

Perished or damaged seals let in cold air and rain, and make the door feel less secure and comfortable.

  • Replacement door seals and gaskets
  • Draught strip repairs
  • Frame and threshold seal faults
  • Condensation and damp ingress issues

uPVC Door Glass Repairs and Replacement

Cracked, broken or failed double-glazed units in a uPVC door panel can be repaired or replaced without replacing the whole door.

  • Broken glass panel replacement
  • Misted or failed double-glazed unit replacement
  • Decorative and obscure glass options
  • Like-for-like or upgraded glass specification

uPVC Door Alignment and Adjustment

A door that no longer fits squarely in its frame – causing sticking, gaps or locking difficulty – often needs realignment rather than replacement.

  • Frame and sash alignment adjustment
  • Keep and striker plate repositioning
  • Seasonal movement and settling issues
  • Doors that have dropped or shifted over time

uPVC Door Repair FAQs

What types of uPVC door repairs do you carry out?

We repair uPVC door locks, handles, hinges, seals and broken glass panels. We also carry out door alignment and adjustment work where a door has dropped, is sticking or is no longer closing and locking properly.

Is it worth repairing a uPVC door or should I replace it?

In most cases, repair is the more practical and cost-effective option – particularly for lock, handle, hinge and seal faults. We will always give you an honest view on whether repair makes sense before recommending any work. If replacement is the better call, we will tell you clearly and can advise on new uPVC door options.

Can you repair a uPVC door that won’t lock?

Yes. A door that will not lock is usually caused by a failed multipoint locking mechanism, a worn lock barrel, a misaligned keep or a handle that is no longer operating the lock correctly. We can diagnose the fault and carry out the repair.

Can you replace broken glass in a uPVC door?

Yes. We can replace cracked, broken or misted double-glazed units in uPVC door panels without replacing the whole door. We can match the existing glass specification or upgrade it if needed.

My uPVC door is stiff and hard to open – can you fix it?

Yes. A stiff or hard-to-open uPVC door is usually caused by dropped hinges, a misaligned frame or a locking mechanism that is not engaging cleanly. We will assess the cause and carry out the appropriate repair.
