OK its not really a DIY problem as these DG UPVC units were supplied
and fitted professionally.

But I am after advice.

Check out http://www.gb-online.co.uk/dump/door-cracks.jpg

They have been newly supplied and fitted for approx 6 months, with
the cracks gradually appearing. Both sides of the door have cracks.

It looks like the big crack was there originally as it looks like its
been filled.

Will the frames fall apart in time, or are there steel 'joints' inside
these very tight.

Do I need worry, or what should the supplier do ??

Professionally? No, fitted by someone who does it for a living.

You need to resize that pic, the file size is too big, and it is
impossible top see where the cracks are in relation to the window.

You need to get the supplier in to sort it. It is surely covered by
Warranty, and poor work like that should be covered.

Get the suppliers back in to sort it out. Those are meant to be welded
joints. If they have opened due to stress, then it suggests there are no
steels inside.
The door frame should not be structural so make sure something else is
not exerting a load on the frame which should only be supporting the
door and its own weight.

I could make lots of guesses, but that's all they would be
due to a useless picture. How about one with some context?

Looks to me, from the angle involved, like you've asked them for
something slightly out of the ordinary and they didn't really know
what they were doing.

As others say, a better picture would be useful.

The corner welds are cracked. You should call in the supplier.
This is not an uncommon problem and there are a few possible causes,
one of which is that the frames are too tight in the aperture
The frames will not fall out but there is a danger of water ingress and
also further cracking in the other corners
There are two fixes:

1. Have the frames replaced.
2. The cracks could be sealed with hard-setting liquid PVC
