Common reasons why a uPVC French door is playing up include:

  • Doors dropping over time
  • Expansion from heat or humidity

Minor adjustments, like adjusting the hinges, may solve the problem in the short term.

But ongoing issues usually need an experienced repairer to take a look or possibly a replacement.

What is the piece between two French doors called?

The vertical strip between the two doors is called an astragal or mullion, depending on the design. It helps seal the gap, improve security and keep the doors aligned.
