Over the years, we have helped countless customers in Doncaster save money by servicing their external doors. The most common issues we encounter include door misalignment, which can cause problems with closing or locking the door. Often, force will be required to get the door to lock. As experienced locksmiths in Doncaster, we specialise in door servicing and can rectify these problems.


Realigning a door

When most people encounter problems with their door, they may consider replacing the entire door. However, this can be an expensive decision, especially when it’s often possible to service the door or, if required, replace parts of the door mechanism itself.

Door servicing experts in Doncaster

If you have any doors that no longer lock or unlock, we can let you know if it’s possible to service your door and get it working like new.  You will be surprised at just how many cases it is possible to avoid buying a whole new door unit. Typical problems we encounter and fix include:

  • Having to use extra force to lift the handle to enable the door to lock or unlock
  • Doors are not closing smoothly without catching the frame
  • Having to lift a door into position to allow for smooth locking, especially French doors.
  • Draughts arising from gaps around the door, letting in cold air.

What we do

The door will no longer sit square in the door frame. This misalignment can lead to several issues, such as the need to apply excessive force to the handle to get it to lock. You may have noticed a gap around the door; you will be losing heat in winter, and cold air will come in.

This can occur on both uPVC and composite doors. The solution could be a hinge adjustment or, on uPVC doors, the panel aligning with a series of packers to enable a square door. All these solutions may seem relatively simple to achieve, but without prior knowledge, attempting to do it yourself will only lead to making matters worse.

We want to take that dilemma away and service your door the right way. This, in theory, will save you money as excess force on the handle will only break the locking mechanism and cost more money for a replacement.

We can replace your lock with a high-security door lock, protecting your property against forced entry. We regularly fit door lock upgrades across Doncaster to the following types of doors:

  • uPVC doors
  • Composite doors
  • Hardwood doors
  • Patio doors, French doors & sliding doors
  • Garage doors

Secure door handles fitted

Secure door handles fitted in Doncaster

We highly recommend the installation of security handles. These can prevent unauthorised access to your property via locksnapping, and the added benefit is that they look great. Available in a variety of finishes, they can be easily installed in place of most existing handles.


Mobile key cutting

If extra door keys are needed, our mobile workshop has the facilities to cut spare keys on site at very reasonable prices. These can be checked in the door locks while we are there, to test and ensure they work perfectly.


Letterboxes

We can replace the letterboxes on existing UPVC and composite doors if yours is damaged. We carry standard letterboxes in white, gold, black and chrome. Although this should be a simple task, if you’ve tried to do it yourself, you’ll soon realise that they’re never a standard fitting. Let us take the hassle out of it for you and fit you  a new letterbox.
