PVCU DOORS
JED specialise in
repairing PVCu
and aluminium
doors, fitting new
locks, hinges and
hardware
throughout
Bowburn.
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 DOOR REPAIRS
IN BOWBURN
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 PANEL REPAIRS IN
BOWBURN
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 DOOR REPAIR IN
BOWBURN
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."

HINGE REPAIR IN
BOWBURN
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.
