uPVC door servicing in Sheffield… save money by fixing, not replacing

A safe, secure home starts with doors that work properly. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of families save money with door servicing in Sheffield. We do this by servicing their uPVC and composite doors instead of replacing them.

Most door problems don’t happen overnight. They usually start small — a stiff handle, a door that doesn’t shut smoothly, or a lock that needs a bit of force. If these issues are ignored, they can quickly lead to broken locks, draughts, reduced security, and costly door replacements.

As trusted Sheffield locksmiths, we specialise in professional uPVC door maintenance.

Taking the time to identify the real issue and fix it properly gives you peace of mind that your home is secure.


Door misalignment is the most common problem we fix

One of the most common problems we see in family homes is door misalignment. When a door drops or shifts slightly, it can cause:

  • Difficulty closing the door
  • Locks are not engaging properly
  • Needing to lift or force the handle to lock the door
  • Draughty doors are losing precious heat

Many people end up forcing the handle tolock their door, but this only puts extra strain on the locking mechanism and often leads to complete lock failure.

A professional door service fixes the issue at the source, keeping your door safe and easy to use for everyone in the household.

Why uPVC & Composite doors go out of alignment

Over time, doors naturally move due to everyday use, temperature changes, and general wear and tear. When a door isn’t sitting square in the frame, you may notice:

  • Gaps around the door
  • Heat loss during colder months
  • Cold draughts entering the home
  • Locks are becoming stiff or failing altogether

This can happen on both uPVC patio doors and composite doors. The solution may involve hinge adjustment or, for uPVC doors, correctly packing and aligning the panel to bring the door back into square. This is called ‘toe & heel’. A very specific task best left to a professional. Hinge adjustment can look easy, but trust me, it can go terribly wrong, leaving you worse off.

While this may sound simple, DIY adjustments often make the problem worse, leading to damaged locks and higher repair costs.


What does it cost to service a uPVC or Composite Door?

The cost to service a uPVC or composite door is significantly lower than most homeowners expect — and far cheaper than replacing parts unnecessarily or fitting a brand-new door.

In many cases, door service involves realignment, adjustment, and lubrication, so no replacement parts are needed. This often means you’re only paying for the call-out and professional labour, not expensive components. Servicing your door early saves money long-term:

  • No more warm air escaping through draughty gaps
  • Less strain on locks and handles
  • Doors that close, lock, and unlock smoothly
  • Reduced risk of costly lock or mechanism failure

Most importantly, we operate a no-fix, no-fee promise — if we can’t resolve the issue, you don’t pay.

If you’re experiencing stiffness, misalignment, or difficulty locking your uPVC or composite door, a professional service is the smartest and most cost-effective solution.

Call us today for a clear price and friendly advice, you may be surprised how affordable it is.
