Upvc frence door repair

Post by Retro_Popcorn »

Hello all,
I'm new to this and looking to repair my french doors.
The top and bottom is damaged and letting in a draft
Believe the parts are called 'mullions' -these are cracked. They need to either be repaired or possibly the whole meeting point may need to be replaced.
Can anyone help

As its cracked you can try and repair it, you may want to try sugru Click here it is a mouldable glue (quite good really) or find a local to you "window doctor" (As the name suggests, they fix windows, unlock them, change handles etc.) The glue will be cheaper and less hassle
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
