Alutech · Aluminium · 4 panel
A four-panel aluminium Alutech doorset in Uckfield was reported with panels catching the frame and difficulty locking. The assessment found no final fixing screws had been fitted to the hinges, leaving all panels out of alignment following a poor installation. The repair realigned the panels and toe and heeled the double glazed units to prevent panel distortion, fitted final fixing screws to all hinges and a replacement gasket for the damaged areas, adjusted the shootbolts to improve operation and replaced areas of wedge gasket due to shrinkage.
