Expert uPVC Repairs for Windows and Doors
Your Trusted Experts for uPVC Repairs
As uPVC repair specialists, Drummond Security understands that while double-glazed windows and doors offer excellent protection against intruders and harsh weather, they can experience wear and tear over time, especially in the multipoint mechanisms and hinges.
If your door becomes difficult or stiff to lock, often requiring you to force and hold the handle up, it may be due to a misaligned hinge, keep, or slightly dropped door.
While initially manageable, leaving it too long can lead to full mechanism failure, potentially preventing you from securely locking the door.
Our experienced team can resolve most door locking issues on the first visit, typically within an hour, ensuring your uPVC doors and windows remain secure and functional.
Door Won’t Unlock?
If your key won’t turn fully, spins in the lock, or the handle won’t budge despite unlocking, it’s likely that the gearbox has failed and needs replacing.
Our engineers carry a variety of commonly used and temporary gearboxes in fully stocked vans, allowing us to secure your door quickly. If the mechanism is discontinued, we can often modify the door and frame to fit a new solution, eliminating the need for a full door replacement.
Door Locking Problems
As uPVC repair specialists, we resolve most door locking issues on the first visit, typically within an hour. If your door becomes difficult to lock or requires extra force to hold the handle up, this usually signals a misaligned hinge or dropped door. While this may not be urgent initially, leaving it too long can lead to mechanism failure, making it impossible to lock the door securely.
Window Won’t Unlock?
Due to the weight of double-glazed glass, hinges can drop if the glass isn’t properly installed, leading to espagnolette failure. This issue, common with fanlight windows, is something Drummond Security has extensive experience repairing, restoring smooth functionality to your windows.
Misty or Blown Double-Glazed Windows
Double-glazed windows (made of two panes of glass) separated by a layer of gas or air, are valued for their insulation properties, keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer.
However, over time, the seals around these windows can degrade, allowing moisture to enter the space between the panes and causing misting or fogging. This effect can obscure visibility and detract from the window’s appearance.
While misting doesn’t immediately affect insulation, it can be unsightly. Drummond Security offers like-for-like replacements or upgrades to thermal-insulated double glazing, restoring clarity and helping maintain your windows’ energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
New uPVC Doors and Windows
If your doors and windows are looking dated, Drummond Security can help you modernise with new uPVC or slimline composite profiles.
As a small, customer-focused company, we offer competitive pricing, faster lead times, and high-quality installations, often at lower costs than larger companies.
