At Doncaster Lock & Key can repair or replace your uPVC windows to make them better at resisting burglars and weather elements. We can boost your home’s curb appeal by boosting your uPVC windows’ energy efficiency.
Our locksmiths can tackle a range of issues, whether it’s a faulty lock, loose hinge, misty glass panel, or something else. Our trained locksmiths will make your windows fully functional again at affordable rates. Our services in this regard include:
Common uPVC Window Issues
Homeowners throughout the Kingdom prioritise uPVC windows for their durability, long-lasting nature, low maintenance needs, and cost-efficiency. However, bad weather along with natural wear and tear can degrade the quality of your uPVC windows. Some common problems reported to us include:
Faulty or stiff locks and handles
When locks or handles get corroded, damaged, broken, or jammed due to misalignment issues, seasonal wear and tear, dirt accumulation, or some other reason, your windows may malfunction. You won’t be able to easily open/close them either. More worrying is the fact that burglars may utilise the stiffness of the window lock/handle to gain access to your home, threatening to steal your valuables.
Broken or worn hinges
When seals stop working, you won’t be able to shut down your windows all the way. A worn-out window doesn’t stop outside air from creeping in, causing uncomfortable drafts. Drafty windows that don’t close all the way are vulnerable to common burglary tactics. Intruders can force open a window if it has loose or misaligned hinges.
Misted or foggy double glazing
When the seal stops working properly, moisture gets inside your windows, causing the two glass panels to become misty and foggy. It ruins the visibility of your uPVC windows and also reduces their energy efficiency. Double-glazing condensation is bad for the insulation of your windows, too.
Window that don't close properly
If your window fails to close completely, it may be due to a misaligned frame, a problem that often develops over time. This sometimes occurs as a result of a new property settling, external environmental influences, or simply from frequent use.
“Warping” in uPVC windows is typically caused by temperature fluctuations, especially in extreme weather conditions. The uPVC material tends to expand and contract, which can make it difficult to shut the window properly.
A common problem with uPVC windows is damaged seals, which can prevent the window from closing securely. This allows moisture and draughts to enter your home. Resolving these issues promptly will enhance the window’s functionality, improve insulation, and boost the security of your property.
Stuck or jammed windows
When window frames are swollen due to the accumulation of paint or damaged by mechanical failures, your uPVC windows will become blocked. So, you won’t be able to open/close them the right way. It’s a major security issue and something you must address as a matter of priority.
Draughty windows
Having trouble closing your windows? Feel like they simply don’t budge and refuse to close all the way? It often happens when your window frame has alignment issues. Thermal expansion & land shifting post-construction can also cause this problem. The uPVC material can suffer from “warping,” making your window difficult to close.
Also, when your seals get in the way, your windows may not close all the way, letting moisture, outside air, and (sometimes) intruders inside your house! If you want to keep your home secure, insulated, warm, and aesthetically appealing, you should fix these issues ASAP.
