Lock and handle repairs and replacements
The most common problems with uPVC windows come down to problems with the handles or the locks. We can find a suitable repair or replacement to make sure these issues are resolved.
Hinge replacements
If you consider how often your uPVC window hinges move, it becomes easier to understand why they might give out or become damaged due to consistent wear and tear. We can fix these issues, though and often easily and quickly.
Misted glass and double glazing replacements
uPVC windows tend to become victims of ‘misty glass’ problems that make your windows look dirty. If your windows appear to be constantly fogged over even after being cleaned, the seals around the windows have likely worn out.
Adjustments and realignments
If your uPVC windows feel like they fight against you when you simply try to open them, this is a sign of wear and tear that needs to be fixed ASAP. We can correct the problem, whether it be due to a lack of alignment or any other adjustment that is required.
Replacing window seals and gaskets
One of the most common complaints we see when it comes to uPVC windows is that the window’s seal or gasket has blown out. That means the window becomes misted over, limiting visibility. We can repair the seal and/or gasket and, if needed, source a replacement window frame.
Security upgrades for uPVC windows
If your uPVC windows were fitted a few years ago, there is always the risk that your security metrics – such as your locking systems – are outdated. We can review this potential issue for you.

Common uPVC Window Problems
uPVC windows are the best choice for people looking to make their homes look as modern and as welcoming as possible. However, uPVC windows can have their fair share of issues as the years pass by. At Lock & Key Leeds, we make sure you get the support you need to fix the areas of concern that have emerged. In our many years of resolving uPVC window problems, some of the most common problems we see include the following:
Common uPVC Window Issues
uPVC windows can be a great investment, modernising your home and making it more appealing as well as easier to improve lighting and air circulation in the rooms. Over time, though, several areas of concern can emerge that could put your windows at risk, including:
Faulty or stiff locks and handles
Handles and locks are usually the first mechanisms in your uPVC windows to fail – it makes sense due to how regularly they are used. When that happens, you might notice that your windows feel looser or stiffer than before, and/or the locks do not seem to respond as they once did. The reasons for this can be numerous, but we always find the cause and fix it.
Broken or worn hinges
Hinges are another regularly damaged part of uPVC windows, thanks to the weight they carry as the window opens and closes. With thousands of uses, hinges might eventually begin to wear out. We can review your hinges and then repair or replace them with new alternative hinges.
Misted or foggy double glazing
When windows fog up, it is easy to get frustrated, as it limits your visibility. Given how beautiful Leeds is, that can be a real problem. If you find that your windows always look like they are foggy or dirty, call us. We can diagnose the issue and then find a solution that resolves it.
Window that don't close properly
Many times, we receive callouts from Leeds residents who find that their windows open/close with significant resistance. Your windows should open smoothly, and they should close fully, reducing noise pollution. If that is not happening, then you have an issue that needs attention.
Our job as your local locksmith in Leeds is to make sure that these issues are found, resolved, and corrected ASAP. We will review the function of your window and work out what could be causing the windows to open/close so awkwardly. Then, we devise a solution.
The reasons for your uPVC windows opening or closing so strangely can be hard to decipher without an in-person review. A Leeds Lock & Key specialist will arrive at your Leeds property to review the issue and determine the cause, fixing the problem no matter the cause.
Stuck or jammed windows
Windows that feel increasingly rigid as you open and close them are a problem, and often a sign that there are structural concerns. We can repair the window, re-align the window with the frame, and / or carry out the required maintenance to restore smoother operations.
Draughty windows
If you find that you can feel a wind gust coming through the window when it is closed, you could have an issue with draft excluders failing. Window seals can fail, while misaligned windows could allow for extra drafts to enter the building. Do not worry, though; we can fix this issue for you.
As part of our comprehensive repair services, we will make sure that your uPVC windows no longer have drafts coming through the gaps or seals around the window. No matter the cause, we find a solution that reduces energy wastage, limits noise pollution and improves home comforts.
Whatever the time, day or night, if you have a problem with your locks, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Leeds and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both domestic and commercial customers.
