UPVC Door Repairs & Alignment
UPVC Door Repairs in Leominster
Dropped doors realigned, hinges and handles replaced, and jammed multipoint mechanisms freed or renewed, without replacing the door.
A UPVC door that is catching, dropping or leaving a gap is the most common job Steve gets called to, and it is very rarely a door that needs replacing. One customer had newly moved to Leominster and found a double glazed French door had dropped, leaving a large gap and a lock that struggled to work. Another company told them it would almost certainly need replacing at around GBP2,000. Steve took the door off its hinges, made a few adjustments, and left it opening smoothly with no gap and a lock working like new.
The same is true of draughts. One customer had a gap in their UPVC patio doors that nobody else had managed to fix; after Steve sorted it, their kitchen was warm for the first time in three years, for a small fee.
Where parts have genuinely worn out, hinges, handles, spindles and gearboxes are replaced with the correct components for that door, and the keeps are reset so the door pulls in and compresses the seal properly rather than just shutting.
What's included
- Dropped and catching doors realigned
- Hinges adjusted, packed or replaced
- Handles and spindles renewed
- Multipoint mechanisms repaired or replaced
- Keeps and strikers reset so the door pulls in
- Draughts and gaps closed up
How upvc door repairs & alignment works
- Look at how it sitsSteve checks the gaps around the door, the hinge positions and how the lock engages before touching anything.
- Adjust firstMost doors come back into line with hinge adjustment, packing and resetting the keeps, which costs a fraction of a replacement.
- Replace only what has failedWorn hinges, handles or a failed gearbox are changed for the correct part rather than the whole door.
- Tested and left squareThe door is opened, closed and locked repeatedly, and the seal checked all round for draughts before he leaves.
Common questions about upvc door repairs & alignment
My door has dropped and I have been told it needs replacing. Is that true?
Usually not. A dropped door is normally hinge wear or adjustment. One customer was quoted around GBP2,000 for a replacement French door by another company; Steve adjusted the existing one back to smooth operation with the lock working like new.
The handle goes up but the key will not turn. What is that?
Typically a failing multipoint gearbox. Do not force it, because a gearbox that snaps with the door shut leaves you locked out. Call while it is still opening and it is a simpler job.
Can you stop the draught coming round my patio doors?
Usually yes, by realigning the door and resetting the keeps so it compresses onto the seal. One customer's kitchen was warm for the first time in three years after exactly that repair.
Do you work on composite and aluminium doors too?
Yes. The hardware and principles are much the same, and the same repair-first approach applies.

Brilliant, quick service. Steve was here within an hour, on a Saturday, got us into the house, and changed the sticking lock. Very reasonable charges too, very happy to recommend.
Perfect service from Steve. Turned up on the same day, and fixed a not so straight forward problem. Top bloke, top service and very fairly priced. If i have any more door lock related problems i won't be going anywhere else.
What took nearly two months for a company in Ludlow to do, this company completed in 2 days. Wonderful! I thoroughly recommend them and the prices are great too.
Excellent service this morning-repairing my mother's lock. Professional, efficient and a very reasonable rate. Can highly recommend!
Locked myself out and couldn’t find any locksmiths available, 20 minutes after calling him I was inside. Unbelievable service at a cheaper price than locksmith companies.
Messaged this company early in this morning about a jamming lock and he was here before 10am same day. Resolved the issue with the lock very quickly and the lock didn't need replacing which was brilliant. Very timely repair and a good honest price too. Will definitely use this company again for lock issues.
Called Steve after finding on Google. Worth a 6 star rating, he came out for an emergency front door lock fix. Arrived & door made safe within an hour of calling! Highly recommended, super friendly & knowledgeable.
Extremely good Service very efficient and friendly got the job done within 15 minutes and reasonably priced couldn’t ask for better! Thank you!
Steve was awesome. My issues were so much more complicated that was originally thought. It wasnt an easy job. He came in was amazing about it. Talked me through everything he was doing to help me not have a panic attack being understanding of my mental health issues. 10/10 id recommend. Going to call him again for the next work i need.
We recently moved to Leominster and found that one of our double glazed French doors had dropped leaving a large gap and a lock that struggled to work. We spoke to one company who said the door would almost certainly need replacing at a cost of approximately £2000! I then found Steve's details online and gave him a call. He was friendly and helpful from the off. He came and looked at the door, took it off the hinges and with a few adjustments he had it working perfectly. Smooth opening, no gap and a lock that worked like new, all for a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Steve enough and he will be doing more work for us in the very near future.
5* service. Called Steve about replacement double-glazing panels. Came out to measure within 5 days and fitted all units a week later. Fantastic service, friendly knowledgeable guy. Very polite and professional and happy to have a chat whilst working. Will definitely use him again in the future when needed and would 100% recommend him to anyone for double glazing and from our conversation discovered he is a qualified locksmith too. Thank you Steve for your service.
Had a problem with a UPVC window hinge and a door that needed adjusting, Called Steve he was very professional, responding quickly to my enquiry, 48hrs later all fixed. Highly recommend Steve for his workmanship, reasonable prices and very polite nature. Thanks Steve.
Steve came out the same day I messaged him to fix a huge issue with a gap that in my uvcp patio doors. Was sceptical as do not really trust trades people to not rip me off! No one had been able to fix them, prior to Steve coming out and he only charged small fee, which really made a huge difference. Forever grateful as kitchen for first time in 3 years warm!!!
Steve came out and replaced our door lock almost immediately. A very professional service. I would not hesitate in recommending Steve and the many services he provides. Many thanks Simon
Steve is absolutely fantastic. I turned to the the Ludlow Facebook group when I was looking for a locksmith, as my conservatory door had jammed shut, and Steve's name was repeatedly recommended. I now know why. He rapidly responded to the enquiry I sent via his website, was extremely accommodating with time slots and presented a clear, transparent quote. He arrived as promised, and was friendly and professional throughout. Steve inspired confidence as he knew what he was doing, communicated clearly throughout and unbelievably presented an invoice that was under his initial quote - a testament to his honesty. I can wholeheartedly recommend Steve. Thank you, Steve. You made us very happy.
Great professional service from Steve when he repaired my front door. Polite, friendly and took the time to talk me through it. I highly recommend Steve and will certainly be giving him a call for any future window and door needs.
Found Steve on the Internet when looking for someone to come and fix our back door. Fast response was able to come the next day. Professional and kind. Gave us advice and told us his opinion on our suggestions in order to save us money. Steve will be coming back in a few weeks to do some more work for us in the house. Trustworthy guy.
What can I say, Steve has been a diamond, came out promptly to replace a pane of glass in my sash window. Steve did a fantastic job. Very professional, friendly, efficient and good value. I would highly recommend.
Door lock needed replacing as an emergency Steve came out within half an hour, fitted new lock. Excellent service and good value for money. Would highly recommend, and would call again.
Brilliant service. I found his details online, rang at 10am, Steve was here by 12noon - tricky little replacement of PVCU door mechanism that was jammed shut - all sorted quickly, no fuss, very friendly, tidy and efficient. Highly recommend - thank you Steve.
Steve is a superstar, he came and measured my very misted up window gave me a very reasonable quote and said he'd be back within the week. True to his word, he installed the window quickly and very efficiently. I now have a throughly clear window, 10 year guarantee too...a win win! I fully reccomend Steve an absolutely lovely and friendly guy. Thank you Steve.
Was recommended Steve through facebook recommendations. Steve came out to view the job (installation of a stairs and rail) that evening to quote. Steve was compassionate to our needs as was a true professional throughout. The job wad completed the next morning to a brilliant standard, he even managed to not wake up newborn baby whilst doing the job. Could not recommend him high enough. Thanks Steve!
Fantastic service. I'd highly recommend Steve. Rang him, & job was done the next morning. Needed him twice in a week to sort locks out, both times he was prompt, polite, & did an excellent job. Many thanks.
Steve was just brilliant! He did a very professional repair to 2 windows. Was on time and very reasonably priced for work completed.
Outstanding service from Steve once again (new lock). So knowledgable, highly skilled, trustworthy and genuinely cares. Huge thanks and highly recommend!
