What’s Inside:
Repair Screws – Designed for replacement applications, these screws ensure a secure fit when fixing into existing uPVC frames.
Self-Tapping Screws – Ideal for creating new anchor points in uPVC installations. Available in various lengths to suit different hardware requirements.
Key Benefits:
Specialised Design – Screws are crafted to work seamlessly with uPVC, providing strong and reliable fixing.
Versatile Length Options – Available in multiple sizes (e.g., 25 mm, 32 mm, 38 mm, 45 mm) to ensure accurate and effective use for various installations.
Optimized for Functionality – Whether you're repairing or installing new fittings, these screws deliver performance without compromising on quality.
Jack nuts (rivet nuts) grip hollow sections properly where self-tappers strip — the trade answer for fixing handles, jammers and hardware to unreinforced uPVC. Standard self-tappers are fine where the profile has steel reinforcement.
A PTFE or silicone-based lock lubricant on cylinders and mechanisms — never oil or general spray lube, which gum the pins with dust. Hinges take light machine oil or silicone. A yearly service doubles hardware life.
That's the point of this range — jack nuts, packers, specialist screws, sealants and lubricants chosen from thirty years supplying window fitters and locksmiths. If a job needs an odd part, ask at the trade counter.
