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.

Lock misalignment

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.
