Why when I lift my door handle it feels very stiff and like something will break, can this be fixed? 

A stiff door handle is a common issue and usually points to an alignment problem with the door. If your uPVC door handle is broken and you can’t open the door, contact us as soon as possible to arrange an adjustment, service, and door repair. Waiting too long may lead to total failure of the locking mechanism, potentially leaving you locked in or out.
