Houghton-le-Spring: Gearbox Replacement completed

A recent job in Houghton-le-Spring came about after the customer could not open the door. The composite door was opened non-destructively and the problem was traced to a faulty gearbox. A new gearbox was fitted. Afterwards the composite door was working correctly again.

Gearbox faults are one of the most common uPVC door problems we see — the mechanism inside the door edge wears out over time, often starting as stiffness or a handle that will not lift fully before the door stops locking altogether.
