  PVCU DOORS
 
 
  JED specialise in 
  repairing PVCu 
  and aluminium 
  doors, fitting new 
  locks, hinges and 
  hardware.
  Most problems with PVCu doors 
  revolve around poor original 
  installation of the door which 
  results in the door sash dropping 
  in the frame causing the door to 
  drag over the frame at the 
  bottom. This in turn makes the 
  lock difficult to operate and extra 
  force required to close. This extra 
  force results in a strained door 
  locking mechanism often 
  stripping the gears in the lock 
  and preventing the door from 
  opening. Early diagnosis of the 
  problem can stop this happening, 
  the door can be adjusted and 
  relocated in the frame allowing 
  the locks to engage correctly. 
  Damaged or worn locking 
  mechanisms can be replaced and 
  we stock most of the popular 
  makes. Please see my page 
  devoted to locks for information 
  regarding upgrading.
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  COMPOSITE DOORS
 
 
  Composite doors 
  are the latest 
  development in 
  replacement doors 
  and work on a 
  different principle 
  having a solid door 
  leaf or slab, available in a range 
  of colours and designs fitting into 
  the door frame rebate providing 
  a smooth appearance as 
  opposed to fitting over the edge 
  of the frame in a PVCu panel 
  door. The doors are of a cellular 
  construction and are extremely 
  strong and virtually unbreakable, 
  The doors rely on a woolpile 
  draught seal and usually are 
  locked with a double hook lock 
  mechanism with six lever dead 
  lock.
 
  
 
 
  DOOR PANELS
 
 
  Feature door 
  panels are mainly 
  confined to PVCu 
  doors but some do 
  occur in aluminium 
  doors. Those in 
  PVCu doors vary in 
  thickness and density. There are 
  many designs but the important 
  features are in the construction. 
  In the early days of door panel 
  production little was known of 
  the colour fading effects of 
  sunlight. Soon lots of door panels 
  changed colour giving a two tone 
  appearance to the door because 
  the higher grade PVCu used in 
  the door frame remained white. 
  Also the doors were constructed 
  using polystyrene foam as a filler 
  between the outer decorative 
  skins. This resulted in flimsy 
  doors with "kick out" door panels. 
  All of our door panels are fully 
  reinforced with high grade MDF 
  together with polystyrene for 
  insulation and are guaranteed 
  against colour fade. By replacing 
  the panel the whole image of the 
  door can be changed as well as 
  increasing security. Please 
  telephone for a quotation.
 
  
 
   
 
 
  ALUMINIUM DOORS
 
 
  Aluminium doors usually rely on a 
  mortice type lock and possibly 
  shoot bolts at the top and 
  bottom. As these doors are 
  becoming rare the components to 
  repair are becoming more scarce. 
  Each door must be appraised for 
  availability of parts.
 
 
  "Mike and Alan fixed our doors so that 
  they open, close and lock with no 
  effort. I would recommend JED as the 
  only place to go for any double glazing 
  repair that you need."

  HINGES
 
 
  Older PVCu doors are fitted with 
  "pencil" hinges, tubular in shape 
  and non adjustable. These can be 
  replaced if broken, and 
  replacements also usually 
  provide some adjustment of the 
  door. Newer doors are fitted with 
  three way "pad" hinges. These 
  hinges are fitted to the face of the 
  door and provide adjustment in 
  three directions similar to kitchen 
  cupboard hinges. These hinges 
  are generally stronger but casting 
  failure can result in breakage. 
  Replacements are readily 
  available.
