    Sticking PVCu Door in Loughborough

    A door that rubs is one that isn't sealing — you're losing heat, letting draughts in and putting stress on the multipoint mechanism every time you close it. Fitted and diagnosed by our own team across Loughborough (LE11–LE12) — never subcontracted.

    Surveys typically within 5 working days.

    Why PVCu doors start sticking (usually around year 8–12)

    PVCu doors sticking in summer and closing loose in winter is one of the most common Loughborough callouts we get. The cause is nearly always the hinges — they carry a 60–80kg door slab and 10 years of thermal cycling wears the pivot point. In LE11–LE12 the fix is usually a 60-minute adjustment on the flag hinges.

    Symptoms we hear from Loughborough customers

    • Door rubs the frame at the top corner
    • Handle needs to be lifted with force to close
    • Visible gap at the bottom of the door on one side
    • Door has 'dropped' since summer

    How we fix it

    We check hinge condition, sash squareness and frame plumb, then adjust the flags (up to 6mm of travel) or swap them for a heavier-duty set if they're worn. Takes 60–90 minutes. Adjust the hinges to bring the sash back into square, then re-align the keeps. If the hinges themselves are worn, we swap in heavier-duty replacements rated for 100kg door leafs.

    • 60–90 minute visit for a straightforward adjustment
    • Genuine replacement hinges — not universal 'will-fit' parts
    • Same-visit keep re-alignment so the door closes without lifting
    • Likely causes on Loughborough homes: Thermal expansion pushing the sash out of square; Worn or crushed flag hinges after 10+ years of use.
