Have you noticed that your door handle has become stiff or difficult to lift when engaging the hooks into the door frame? Don't wait—get it fixed! What might be a minor alignment issue now could turn into a major and more expensive multipoint system repair.

We specialise in mechanical repairs for all types of doors. A faulty door doesn't always mean you need a full replacement—in most cases, we can save you money by repairing or replacing the locking mechanism, euro cylinder lock, handles, or hinges. If your door isn't closing properly, it may just need realignment.

TomTom

I'm grateful for your professional service

I'm grateful for your professional service. You helped me and my family quite a few times now. My parents are over 70 years old so we needed someone reliable, honest and who will perform quality services for a reasonable price. I am totally comfortable with your locksmiths coming into my parents' house to fix the lock last week. The locksmith was very polite and explained to my parents what was wrong with the lock. My dad was very happy with the job your locksmith did. And last month you also fixed the lock in my apartment very quickly and professionally! We will definitely use your service again if needed!!!

BarbaraB·160

Excellently

They were on time, the man was very pleasant, the job was very quick and professional. The only thing was the new lock only came with four keys and we needed six, and because they were high‑security keys the locksmith wasn't able to cut it on the spot and had to order it through the lock manufacturer, which is even good—if even a locksmith himself is not able to copy our keys, that makes us feel very secure!

JocelynJ·3

very very gooooood!!!

I would say that the experience I have with you ranks among the highest I have ever received. This is without exaggeration and without a nudge from you to leave a review. I needed some keys cut quickly and your high standard was nothing short of impressive. You should be proud of the service that you offer.

BrandonB·19

Thank you

I was recommended to you by a friend. My patio door lock was broken and I was told I'd have to pay more than £600 for a new one. I told my friend who recommended you and I paid considerably less. Thank you.

excellent service, would definitely be my first port of call if I have a future need.

Common Door Problems and How to Fix Them

Over time, even the sturdiest doors can start to show signs of wear and tear. From annoying creaks to more serious structural issues, understanding what's going wrong with your door is the first step toward fixing it.
Sticking Doors: A sticking door is often the result of changes in humidity or the house settling over time. The wood can swell, making the door rub against the frame. Try tightening the hinges first. If that doesn't work, carefully sand down the edge that's sticking and repaint or reseal it to protect against moisture.
Squeaky Hinges: One of the most common (and irritating) issues. Luckily, it's also one of the easiest to fix. Spray a small amount of WD-40 or apply petroleum jelly to the hinge pins. Open and close the door a few times to work the lubricant in.
Misaligned Locks: If your key doesn't turn smoothly or your lock feels off-centre, it may be due to a sagging door. Check all screws in the hinges and strike plate. Tightening them or adjusting the plate's position can restore smooth operation.
Drafty Doors: Feeling a cold breeze even when the door is shut? It's likely due to worn weatherstripping. Replacing it with new foam or rubber strips can dramatically improve your comfort and reduce energy bills.

DIY Guide: Repairing a Damaged Door

Before you rush out to buy a new door, take a moment to assess the damage—it might be easier to fix than you think.
Small Holes or Cracks: For timber doors, use a wood filler. Apply it with a putty knife, let it dry, then sand it smooth. Composite doors may require resin-based fillers. Once patched, finish with matching paint or stain.
Loose Hinges: Doors can become loose or saggy if the hinge screws no longer grip properly. Remove the screws and insert wooden matchsticks dipped in wood glue into the holes, then reinsert the screws. This will give the screws something firm to grip onto.
Surface Scratches and Dents: Sand out shallow scratches and re-stain or paint the area. Deeper dents may require filler before refinishing.
Latch Not Catching: If your latch won't engage with the strike plate, it could be a misalignment issue. Repositioning the plate or adjusting the door's position usually solves the problem.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Door

It's not always obvious whether a door needs a simple fix or a full replacement. Here's how to tell the difference.
When to Repair: If the issue is largely cosmetic—scratches, faded paint, or minor dings—a bit of TLC is all you need. Similarly, if the lock, handle, or hinges are faulty but the door itself is structurally sound, a targeted repair can restore functionality.
When to Replace: If the door has significant warping, rot, or cracking (especially in wooden doors), repair may not be cost-effective. You should also consider replacement if the door doesn't fit its frame, no longer seals properly, or has become a security risk—like after a break-in or severe damage.
Think long term: an older, inefficient door may cost more in heating bills or reduce your home's curb appeal and security.

Enhancing Home Security: The Truth About Euro Cylinders and Door Locks

Many people assume that having a multipoint locking system automatically means their door is secure. That's not always the case.
The weak point? The euro cylinder. Even the best door mechanism can be defeated in seconds if it's fitted with a standard, low-security cylinder. Intruders often use a method called lock snapping, which targets cheap cylinders.
What to look for:
• Always choose TS007 3-star certified euro cylinders—these offer anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-pick protection.
• Consider upgrading to high-security handles, which reinforce the cylinder area and make snapping attempts much harder.
In short: Your door is only as secure as the cylinder you install. Don't let a vulnerable lock compromise your entire home.

Energy Efficiency: How Proper Door Sealing Can Lower Your Bills

If your home feels drafty in the winter or too warm in the summer, your door could be the culprit. Proper sealing makes a noticeable difference in your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
Weatherstripping: This flexible material seals gaps around your door. Available in foam, rubber, or brush formats, it's easy to install and effective in blocking cold air and moisture.
Door Sweeps: Attached to the bottom edge of the door, these block drafts from creeping in underneath. They're especially useful on older doors with gaps near the floor.
Threshold Upgrades: If your threshold is worn or damaged, replacing it with an insulated model can make a big difference. Some include adjustable risers for a tighter seal.
DIY Draft Check: On a windy day, run a lit candle or incense stick around the door edges. If the flame or smoke flickers, you've found a leak that needs sealing.

Seasonal Door Maintenance Tips for UK Homeowners

Your doors face the elements every day. A seasonal maintenance routine keeps them functioning smoothly and extends their lifespan.
Spring: Clean off winter grime, inspect for water damage, and touch up paint or varnish as needed. Check for swelling or softness in wooden doors.
Summer: Sun and humidity can cause doors to expand or stick. Lubricate hinges and handles. If doors feel tight, lightly sand the edges that rub.
Autumn: Prepare for colder weather by inspecting and replacing weatherstripping. Clean out dirt and leaves from tracks and thresholds.
Winter: Ensure all seals are intact and hinges are greased to prevent freezing. A door draft excluder can also be a temporary solution to cold air infiltration.

The Benefits of Upgrading to Composite Doors

Composite doors have grown in popularity across the UK—and for good reason. They combine the best aspects of multiple materials into a single, high-performing product.
Superior Strength: Built with a solid core (often timber or foam) and a weatherproof GRP skin, composite doors resist warping, cracking, and fading.
Enhanced Security: Most come fitted with advanced multi-point locking systems, making them a secure choice for your home.
Energy Efficiency: Their solid construction and built-in insulation mean less heat escapes, helping you save on energy bills.
Minimal Maintenance: Unlike timber, composite doors don't require painting or staining. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth keeps them looking new.
Stylish Designs: Available in a wide range of colours, textures, and glass panel options, composite doors can complement any property style—from classic to contemporary.

Understanding Euro Cylinder Security: TS007 vs. Sold Secure Diamond Standard

Not all euro cylinders are created equal. If you think your door is secure just because it has a multipoint lock, think again. The real question is: what kind of cylinder is in your door?
TS007 3-Star Certification
Developed by the British Standards Institution, TS007 rates lock security from 1 to 3 stars. A 3-star cylinder offers high resistance to snapping, bumping, drilling, and picking. It's also commonly required by insurers.
Sold Secure Diamond Standard
Tested by the Master Locksmiths Association, this standard goes even further—evaluating cylinders under realistic burglary conditions using common break-in tools. It's one of the most rigorous certifications currently available.
What's the Difference?
• TS007 3-Star: Excellent protection, widely recognized.
• Sold Secure Diamond: Higher testing threshold, focused on evolving attack methods.
Our Recommendation
For maximum protection, go for a euro cylinder that holds both certifications. Pair it with high-security door handles for complete reinforcement.
Don't let a weak cylinder be the weakest link in your home security.

Small Door Problems You Shouldn't Ignore

What to Watch for in Door Warranties and Insurance Coverage

Buying a new door? Don't assume you're fully covered. Many homeowners overlook small print that leads to big surprises later.
Common Catches:
• Improper Installation: Most warranties are void if the door wasn't installed by a certified professional.
• Lack of Maintenance: Failing to oil hinges, clean seals, or repaint can count as negligence.
• Weather Damage: Storms, flooding, or extreme heat may not be covered unless you have specific insurance add-ons.
• Cosmetic Wear: Fading, minor scratches, and discoloration are often excluded.
• Hardware Limits: Locks, handles, and hinges usually have separate warranties—often shorter and with different terms.
What to Check:
• Is warping, cracking, or swelling covered long-term?
• Are labour costs included in case of repairs or replacements?
• Does the warranty include door adjustments (like realignment)?
• What proof (receipts, installer certifications) is required to make a claim?
Quick Tip: Always register your product, keep original documentation, and photograph the installed door as evidence. It could save you hundreds later.

Small Door Problems You Shouldn't Ignore

Not every door issue seems urgent—but ignoring the small stuff can lead to major repairs down the line. Here's what to catch early:
• Stiff Handle or Lock: Often a sign of misalignment. Left untreated, it can damage the entire locking system.
• Sticky or Dragging Door: Could be sagging on its hinges—a quick adjustment now prevents frame warping later.
• Loose Hinges or Screws: Easy to fix, but if neglected, they cause strain on the entire structure.
• Small Drafts: May seem minor, but they signal worn seals or misalignment—leading to higher energy bills.
• Squeaks and Creaks: Often dismissed, but can indicate wear in hinges or internal frame stress.
Fixing these early means less hassle, less money, and no unexpected door failures when you least need them.
