Houghton-le-Spring Locksmith Help
- Handle lifts but the door will not lock
- Key will not turn or feels stiff
- Door has dropped and is rubbing the frame
- Gearbox failure inside the multipoint strip
- Snapped, worn or insecure euro cylinder
- Door will not latch or secure properly
Patio, French and Composite Doors
We also repair the locking on patio doors, French doors and composite front doors. They use the same kind of multipoint mechanism as a uPVC door, so they fail in the same ways: the gearbox stops throwing the bolts, a shootbolt at the top or bottom of a French door will not retract, or a hinge has no adjustment left.
Our job records include a patio door gearbox with a damaged bolt thrower, a French door whose bottom shootbolt would not retract, and composite doors with hinges that would no longer adjust. A photo of the door edge and handle usually shows which of these it is.
