Moving into a new home is a good time to check your locks. If a lock is damaged, worn or difficult to operate, we can inspect the hardware and repair or replace it through our lock repair service, including fitting new locks that suit your existing doors.
Rekeying changes the pins inside a lock so the old keys no longer work, without replacing the lock itself. For rekeying and keying plans such as master key systems, our affiliated company, Can-Lock Security, provides specialised locksmith services.
Loose handles, worn hinges and misaligned latches make a door awkward to use and, eventually, hard to secure. A handle that wobbles usually has loose mounting screws or a worn spindle, and tightening or replacing the handleset fixes it. Worn hinges can let the door drop, so the latch catches on the edge of the strike instead of sliding into it. We replace the hinges or fit longer screws into the framing, then adjust the strike so the latch and deadbolt engage cleanly.
A lock that gets harder to turn as the weather gets colder usually has moisture inside or worn internal parts, so have it checked before it stops working altogether. A de-icer will free a frozen lock, but one that freezes repeatedly needs repairing or replacing. See our frozen door lock page.
Sliding patio doors run on rollers at the bottom of the panel. When the rollers wear out or the track is dented or clogged, the door drags, jumps the track or won’t close far enough to lock. We clean and check the track, adjust the roller height and replace worn rollers with ones that suit the door’s weight. We also repair sliding door handles and locks. More on patio door repair.
A frame can split at the strike plate after a forced entry, soften at the bottom where water collects at the sill, or move out of square so the door no longer closes evenly. We repair or replace the damaged section and reinforce the strike area so the lock has solid wood to hold. See door frame repair.
The door between an attached garage and the house often has its own hardware, such as a closer or self-closing hinges and a latch. Requirements depend on the house and the door, so we look at what’s fitted and what needs repair rather than assuming one setup applies to every property.
