The things that can go wrong on a tilt-and-slide door
Tilt-and-slide doors were a popular choice in the Barnsley area some years ago. However, many of these doors have never received service, which has made some troublesome!
S F Locksmith is very experienced in repairing tilt and slide doors in Barnsley and can offer you an excellent professional door service at a price that will be considerably less than replacing the door completely.
If you have talked with a double-glazing installer and been told that parts are unavailable for your tilt and slide door, please call me. I have the parts and could save you lots of cash. They will probably hope to sell you a new door rather than consider a repair!
The drive gear can fail.
When you operate the handle to open and close the door, this moves the locking points around the edge of the door and keeps the door shut tight. This can fail because of wear and tear or friction. The doors can drop slightly, and this causes the locking points at the very bottom of the door to rub against the “keeps.” You may have noticed that the handle has become more difficult to operate, a good sign that this is a case of failure.
Call us for a tilt and slide door repairs in Barnsley. We can replace the drive gear at a cost-effective price and have your door running smoothly again. Part of the price will include a complete door service, so this will not happen again.
Even if the door is in a closed position, we have an abundance of knowledge on the best way to open it up without any damage to the door.

The door topples out from the top
Tilt-and-slide doors are held in place and guided across at the top by a pair of “gliders.” These gliders are connected by link arms and help keep the door upright and safe.
But after years of opening and sliding the door from side to side, they wear out. Most people first realise that they have worn and broken when the door topples out from the top. This can be a panic situation. Please close the door as usual and lock it up. Then call S F locksmith. We can be out quickly and replace the gliders while servicing the whole door.
The door is difficult to lock and close.
This can come from a variety of different things. Alignment can be an issue where the connecting rod at the bottom is not true anymore. The “bottom bogey” springs do break, and this causes problems with the automatic closing at the bottom.
If you are experiencing any of the above, they can all be fixed, so call SF Locksmith immediately. I can inform you about the likely cost, and we can schedule an appointment to suit your needs.
Replacement handles
Most tilt and slide doors are locked via a key in the handle itself. If you have lost the key or a key has snapped in the handle, it can be replaced. There are two types: long and short. I carry them in gold and white, so if you require a replacement handle, call now. Even if the handle is locked, that will not be an issue.
