Locksmith Bermondsey guys reckon there is generally nothing to be concerned about in uPVC if de-glazing etc. Just take the time to organise a safe place to put the glass down (on some timber blocks etc) before you start and be careful not to catch it onn anything when turning round.
Only real problem are those you come to when the glass was originally packed on one piece of glass within the unit and you find the two panes are stepped when you remove glazing bead. Also a good reason to ensure you have correct width packers and support both panes of glass when you toe & heel. If the glass has slipped, there is little you can do to assist really because trying to reverse the unit to pack and lift can cause the panes to separate from the spacer bar! A hint can be that if the door is dropped and the glass has misted, the there is a strong chance the panes have slid and the seal has therefore broken down as well. If I visually see this, I will make the customer aware of what we might find before I remove glazing beads. That way, if they need new units, they don't feel you are hoodwinking them and if they don't, they are relieved and generally very happy anyway.
Good info there locksmith Bermondsey, I will add don't always assume the beading clips off from the edge as most do because there is a manufacturer that seems to be doing a few housing estates up in the north east where some glazing firms wont to replacement dgus because they can’t work out how to take them off and are scared of breaking beading. They actually come of backwards you need to take off from the glass side they are pigs the glass will break if not toughened unless careful you need a knife or de-beading tool for curtain walling which are a bit heavy for upvc but work and some sort of hook tool I am sure all you lockies will have and pull hard. Once you have one moving just hook under end of others and pull hard, to replace back lip into frame and hit with rubber mallet or wood block, also make sure the unit goes back in same way around due to coating ( you will be surprised)
Funny enough I had the same problem with retaining screw in a patio door set last week (aluminium) the door would have to be lifted off and rail taken off , looking at state of doors I asked customer would they be happy to have hole drilled and they were. Hardest bit was getting old screw back out through new hole using magnetic driver, just glued a plastic screw cap into hole and looked like part of the frame, some doors have a strip that pulls off and push back in this was not like that had not seen its type before (good riddance) All done. Drilled hole as was a full glazed door. Getting screw out was hard. Had to fashion a hacksaw blade to extract. Top tip. I measured and was a little out so next time I will mark bottom of centre keep and drill for screw so covered by keep. Also locksmith Bermondsey man said finish with an end mill drill as I caught the screw head a little. |
