One of the most common problems with uPVC doors is when they drop and start catching on the frame. This usually means the door needs to be realigned so it sits correctly in place. In many cases, a simple adjustment is enough to fix the issue.

However, if the hinges are old or worn, they may not adjust far enough to bring the door back into the correct position. When this happens, the best solution is to replace the hinges with new ones. This not only restores smooth operation but also ensures your door locks securely and seals properly against draughts.


A real example – apartment building in Sale

Recently, I was called out to an apartment building in Sale where the main entrance door had dropped and was catching on the frame. I realigned the door, but the hinges were so worn that they couldn’t adjust far enough to fully solve the problem. In this case, replacing the hinges was the only way to get the door working properly again.


This is a great example of why it’s important to identify whether a door simply needs realignment, or whether the hinges themselves have reached the point where they need replacing.


Why it’s important to get your door hinge repaired

A dropped or misaligned door puts extra pressure on the locking system, which can cause more damage if left untreated. By repairing or replacing the hinges early, you’ll avoid bigger problems (and higher costs) later on.
