When it comes to bi-fold uPVC doors, a lock failure can be more than just an inconvenience — it can completely prevent access to your home or garden.

🔍 The Challenge

The homeowner’s bi-fold uPVC doors had seized shut, making it impossible to open them from either side. Not only was this frustrating, but it also raised concerns about emergency access and home security.

Upon arrival, Gary quickly diagnosed the issue: a mechanical failure in the locking system, common in older or poorly maintained bi-fold units.
