Specialist Door Hinge Adjustments & Replacements
Over time, the weight of a heavy double-glazed door can cause it to “drop.” This puts immense pressure on your locking mechanism and can eventually lead to a total lock failure.
Professional Hinge Solutions
As a specialist locksmith, Chris can identify exactly why your door is misaligned.
- Hinge Realignment: We “toe and heel” the glass or adjust the hinges to lift the door back into its original position.
- Hinge Replacement: If your hinges are snapped, corroded or broken, we can install high-quality replacements for flag, butt or rebate hinges.
Door Handle Replacement & Upgrades
A loose, “floppy” or pitted door handle doesn’t just look bad. It can be a sign that the internal springs have failed, making it harder to engage your locks.
Why Replace Your Door Handles?
- Smooth Operation: New handles restore that “click” feel and ensure the multi-point lock engages effortlessly.
- Aesthetic Refresh: We replace faded, rusted or “pitted” handles with high-quality finishes in Satin or Brushed Chrome, White, Gold or Black.
- Enhanced Security: We can install high-security reinforced handles that provide an extra layer of protection against forced entry.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you replace just the handle on a double-glazed door? Yes
Yes. If your handle is broken or looks worn, we can replace it without needing to touch the lock or the door itself. We carry a wide variety of sizes and finishes to match your existing door style.
Will a new hinge fix a draughty door?
Often, yes. If a hinge is bent or worn, the door won’t pull tightly against the weather seal. Replacing or adjusting the hinges can close those gaps, keeping out cold draughts and reducing your energy bills.
