Faulty Handles and Hinges

Faulty and worn handles

We have all experienced the frustration of living with window handles that do not operate the Espag locking mechanism, door handles that are droopy, scratched or pitted and hinges that make opening and closing windows and doors difficult.

Some window handle designs can loosen over time make the window feel wobbly and insecure, even when closed. This is usually resolved by replacing the plastic catches that may get lost over time. Our teams often carry such spares and can therefore fit, clean and lubricate the handles and get them working like new again.

If new handles are required then we have a selection of uPVC door handle sets, including lever door handle sets and handles for uPVC windows, including inline window handles and cranked window handles to choose from that will be in keeping with your conservatory interior.

Problem opening/closing conservatory door

Difficulty or an inability to close or lock conservatory doors is a common problem, which is often caused by the doors ‘dropping’.

As a results in the door catches at the bottom and is likely to also create a gap at the top through which noise and drafts can penetrate. Fortunately most doors are adjustable, so realigning the doors using a technique called ‘toe and heeling’ is often the solution. If a repair or replacement of the lock mechanism is required then we can sometimes do so on the initial visit.
