I have the same problem. I assume that thousands of people fnd the same thing? I was told by the supplier that the uPVC door FRAME will cause all sorts of problems. I had a bell push on the uPVC door (by the letter box) and that worked for a while, but due to heavy-handed callers, the bell push broke. (it only needed a touch like the pressure you use on a mobile phone, or less, but people like to press a door bell really hard. Yours MAY work if you take it well away from the frame.
