Having looked up video on how to fix i began to take lock out from door to see what issue was.
Upvc door handle wont go all the way up.
It moves a couple a few mil you hear the mechanism begin to engage and then it is impossible to move it up and therefore lock the door.
Seems when turning handle upwards it s not going all the way up this causing the bolt and hooks to slide only partly into position within door frame.
I m not sure if it s wear or if my little girl has damaged the mechanism by forcing the handle but my upvc patio door has suddenly stopped moving into the up position.
I used close the door and lift the handle up but the handle dose not go up.
The key is bent and the lock barrel is straight.
There are number of tips available when it comes to repairing or replacing door handles and should you find that you need to replace specific parts or the handle itself on internal doors or upvc doors doorfit have a huge range of door fittings locks and mechanisms from all the major manufacturers including avocat and era among others.
Can you help as to what i need to do to put right.
Hi have front upvc door and in order to close it i now have to hold the handle down if don t the locking bolts all come out.
I used a gt85 spray to lubricate parts and tried again after ten mins.
