uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) windows are popular for their durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance needs. However, they can still require repairs over time due to weathering, wear and tear, or accidental damage. Here are some common uPVC window repairs and solutions that Omnisec Locksmiths Derby undertake and offer our clients:

Seal & Gasket Replacements: Badly worn seals and gaskets can cause drafts, leaks, or condensation. The solution to these problems is to install new gaskets and seals.

Hinge Friction Stay Repairs & Replacements: Stiff or broken hinges and friction stays can prevent windows from opening or closing smoothly. Omnisec Locksmiths Derby will assist with repair or replacement of this vital uPVC window component.

Lock and Handle Replacements: Locks or handles can become damaged or jammed preventing the window from opening at all. The usual remedy is to replace the faulty lock or handle on uPVC Windows.

Glass Replacement: Cracks or chips in the glass can compromise window integrity. Omnisec Locksmiths Derby will replace the glass unit.

uPVC Window Realignment: Windows may not close properly or may become jammed. Omnisec Locksmiths Derby will adjust the window by tweaking the hinges or locking mechanism to ensure a better fit.
