Door Not Closing or Locking Smoothly
If you're having trouble closing or locking your door properly, there could be a few possible causes for this.
If you've noticed your door isn't locking or closing as it should, this may be due to a problem with the locking mechanism, the handle, hinges or it may just require adjusting or toe and heal.

Patio Doors
Are your patio doors feeling stiff? are the sliders not what they once were? We can service, repair or replace parts to refresh your patio doors, once more giving them many more years of service before you have to replace whole units for new.
The most common issue is when the rollers/wheels either collapse through wear and tear or seize up due to lack of maintenance. Once the old rollers are replaced for new, your doors can once again expect many years of service.
Another common problem is that the wheels can jump off the track and struggle to slide. This can occur if the doors have been poorly fitted or mistreated in use, perhaps by sliding or slamming the door too hard or fast when opening or closing it.

Door Locked Shut
Dropped Door - It is very common for UPVC and Composite doors to drop, therefore misaligning the locking points with the keeps. It will usually make the door difficult to open, if it can at all! Modern UPVC and Composite doors are designed to be fully adjustable so this is usually quick to fix.
Tip - If the door locks perfectly while in the open position, it is an adjustment issue. However, if it is still hard to lock while in the open position it will more than likely be a mechanical fault, probably needing replacement parts.
Faulty Euro Cylinder - If the key cylinder has failed then our locksmiths can easily replace this part, providing new keys without the need to replace the full mechanism. This will help keep the cost to a minimum.
Faulty Mechanism - UPVC and Composite door locking mechanisms problems are very common. If the full length mechanism is faulty, in certain circumstances it is possible to only replace the “Gearbox” (centre lockcase). This keeps the job cost to a minimum. Replacing full mechanisms can be expensive, but in certain scenarios it is unavoidable.
