Common Door Won’t Lock Problems We Help With
Send a photo on WhatsApp if you are unsure what has failed. In many cases we can advise whether it is likely to be a cylinder, gearbox, alignment or mechanism issue before attending.
Common Reasons a Door Won’t Lock
One of the most common causes of a door failing to lock is a faulty multipoint locking mechanism. We regularly repair UPVC and composite doors across Sunderland suffering from gearbox failures, dropped doors, stiff handles and lock alignment problems.
Other common issues include:
- Failed door gearboxes
- Misaligned keeps
- Dropped UPVC doors
- Handles becoming difficult to lift
- Keys becoming stiff to turn
- Internal lock case failures
- Door expansion causing locking issues
Signs Your Door Lock Is Starting to Fail
Many locks begin showing warning signs before they fail completely. If your handle feels harder to lift, the key becomes difficult to turn or the door only locks intermittently, it is usually a sign the mechanism is beginning to fail.
Ignoring the problem can often lead to a full lock failure which may leave the door stuck locked or unable to secure properly.
