Door hardware repairs

Door handle and hinge repairs

Help with loose or broken handles, worn hinges, dropped doors and related lock-alignment problems.

Small components can affect the whole door

A worn hinge can alter how a door sits in the frame. That movement may place extra load on handles, locks and multipoint mechanisms.

Similarly, a loose or damaged handle may be the visible sign of resistance elsewhere in the locking system. The door should be checked before the symptom alone is repaired.

Problems covered

Loose handles

Assess fixings, internal components and spindle operation.

Broken handles

Replace damaged handles where suitable replacements are available.

Dropped doors

Check hinge condition and door alignment.

Worn hinges

Replace or adjust suitable hinge hardware.

Lock misalignment

Check whether movement prevents bolts or hooks engaging.

Stiff operation

Identify resistance before it damages further components.

Frequently asked questions

Can hinges be adjusted?

Some hinges allow adjustment; others may require replacement depending on wear and design.

Why does lifting the door help it lock?

That can indicate alignment or hinge movement, although the mechanism should also be checked.

Can you match the existing handle?

A suitable functional replacement can be discussed based on measurements, fixings and availability.
