I have an emergency. I can’t lock my door and it does not close properly. The lock appears to be loose and I need security as soon as possible. Can slidingdoorrepairssydney.com.au help me with a repair or should I just get the door replaced?
In the case of a hinged, timber door, the best course of action is to remove the door, and plane the hinge side of the door, not the lock side. This simple trim and adjustment allow us to refit the door effectively. If it is an aluminium door, we can remove the door and trim the top and bottom. However, if the lock is faulty you should call your local locksmith. We are pleased to advise the best form of repair over the phone in this situation.
Changes in the weather seem to affect our front door. When we open or close it, especially in wet weather, it sticks and jams. Can slidingdoorrepairssydney.com.au help?
Changes in the weather often have an effect on the foundations of your home. The foundations may move slightly, causing the door frame to move. This is often the reason that doors get jammed inside the frame and affect the operation of the door.
Moisture in the clay can cause it to expand. Dry weather contracts the clay and the foundations may sink. This is a very common situation in the Sydney area. slidingdoorrepairssydney.com.au will remove the door, adjust it and then reinstall the lock so your door operates properly.
We have an occupational, health and safety issue with our office door. We’re worried that, because the top hinge is coming away from the frame, there is the possibility that it may fall on one of our staff and cause a serious injury. Can you attend to this type of emergency door repair?
slidingdoorrepairssydney.com.au can assist with this very common problem. You’re right that there is the danger of the door collapsing when the top hinge comes loose on the metal frame and fractures the frame around the hinge leaf. Usually, the door hits the frame or the floor when it is opened or closed. You should call us immediately in this situation.
