Can you change the opening direction of a uPVC door?

The answer will depend on the exact model of uPVC door and where it is. In some instances, it may be possible to change the opening direction of a uPVC door. But not always.

In many cases, it’s not actually possible to simply remove the door, turn it around and refit it.

You’ll often need to buy a new uPVC door with the correct hinges and fittings to replace your existing door.

How much does a new uPVC door cost?

On average, a new uPVC door in the UK will cost you somewhere in the region of £400 - £1,000 per door (including glazing and architrave).
