Your patio door won’t lock.

Many of the calls we receive concern doors that won’t lock. This could be due to a failed mechanism or alignment issues, which we can quickly address.  Check to see if the door will lock while the door remains open; this will help identify what the problem could be.

Damaged patio door handle

If your handle is broken, we can replace it with our high-quality handles from Hoppe and FabFix. If the handle is still attached to the door and spinning but not functioning correctly, it may indicate a problem with the multipoint locking mechanism, which we can fix.

The key won’t turn in the patio door.

Modern patio doors with high-security locks can present challenges. If the key goes in but will not turn, it could be an issue with the barrel itself. Let SF Locksmiths in Barnsley resolve the problem without needing DIY fixes.

Draft issues with your patio door

Misalignment can lead to drafts, resulting in heat and energy loss. We routinely address this issue through adjustments to restore the door’s original fit. This misalignment could also lead to locking and unlocking the door.

Patio door hinge modifications

Yes, we can take care of this work as soon as possible. We hope you can handle it with care to avoid any further complications. Leaving this could lead to a broken multipoint lock from forcing the handle.

Repairing aged aluminium sliding doors

While it has become more challenging due to the obsolescence of the original parts, we can install additional patio locks to assist. The vast majority of parts for aluminium doors have disappeared. uPVC patio doors, on the other hand, are still fixable, and we can help here.
