Hi,
Got a uPVC front door on which the multi-point lock failed a couple of years ago and hasn't sealed the same since the multi-point lock was changed.
It's been letting through a draught thats losing me too much heat.
The top and bottom of door has throw bolts.
The way the door seems to operate is that if you simply push (or pull) the door closed it will latch but remain open slightly - there would be a gap around the door. Lifting the handle up engages the multipoint locking system which pulls the door further in which should seal the gap but doesn't seem to be doing so all the way around.
The door keeps are already at their maximum setting to pull the door in and lifting the handle up is already stiff as a result.
Any ideas what I should do to stop the draught?
