Here at Lock Smithy Ltd, we're not just about fixing locks; we're about solving the little problems that disrupt your day-to-day life. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting a stunning luxury log cabin near the iconic Brimham Rocks to help a customer with a tricky UPVC door.
The issue was a common one, especially with our unpredictable British weather. The customer's UPVC door was a struggle to close. She explained that on windy days, it would catch, and on hot, sunny days, it would swell, making a smooth closure impossible.
This is a classic case of seasonal adjustment. UPVC, while a durable and reliable material, is susceptible to thermal expansion. The heat from the sun can cause the door to expand ever so slightly, just enough to catch on the frame. Likewise, frequent gusts of wind can, over time, knock the door out of perfect alignment.
The solution was straightforward. I was able to quickly diagnose the problem and make a precise adjustment to the door's catches. By a simple but expert tweak, I lifted the door just enough to prevent it from catching. The result? A door that now closes perfectly, a satisfied customer, and a home that is once again secure.
