Book a call outHas your uPVC or composite door become difficult to lock or unlock? Is there a gap letting in cold air, or do you feel it’s no longer secure? Over the years, we’ve helped Barnsley homeowners by diagnosing these issues. We can realign your doors and have them working like new—or even better.
When a door begins to stick, catch on the frame, or requires extra effort to open or close, people can assume replacement is the only solution. However, most doors can be serviced or repaired at a fraction of the cost of a replacement door.

Typical door alignment issues we can resolve include:
In most cases, the hinges require adjustment or realignment to restore smooth operation. For uPVC doors, this may involve removing the centre panel and strategically placing specific packers to square the door. Composite door hinges are temperamental, and you can end up with a door you can not close at all. Attempting these fixes without prior experience will often exacerbate the problem. Our locksmith service ensures the job is done correctly, saving you money and protecting your door’s locking mechanism from failure.
If your lock is worn or outdated, we can fit a high-security replacement to protect against forced entry. We regularly carry out door lock upgrades in Barnsley for:
We also recommend installing secure door handles to protect against lock-snapping. These handles provide an extra layer of security and are available in a variety of stylish, modern finishes to enhance the appearance of your door. They also come with a twenty-year guarantee against corrosion.
