Common issues with composite doors

1. My composite door won’t open

The most prevalent issue is a failed gearbox controlling the locking mechanism. Even if the key turns, it indicates a gearbox problem, often due to wear and tear. The average lifespan of a composite door gearbox is around ten years.

Other common problems leading to a failure

• Poor door alignment, requiring force on the handle to lock or unlock.
• Misalignment related to hinges, needing attention in both lateral and horizontal movements.
• Weather-induced alignment issues, particularly during hot summers and cold winters.
• Excessive checking of handles after locking can reduce the lifespan of the door mechanism.

2. My composite door won’t lock

Another common problem when your composite door won’t lock is a failed gearbox, as above. Alternatively, door misalignment can prevent the handle from lifting fully for proper locking. Alternatively, a faulty euro cylinder may prevent the key from turning.

SF Locksmith, your local Rotherham composite door repair specialist, can address all these issues.

3. The key refuses to turn within my composite door.

Modern composite doors are generally fitted with high-security locks, but if your key won’t turn or even slide in, a specialist like SF Locksmith in Rotherham is recommended, as different high-security locks require specific skills for resolution.

4. My composite door is allowing a draft to enter

If you feel cold air or see daylight around your composite door, it may need realignment. Adjusting the hinges yourself can be tricky, but SF Locksmith can efficiently take care of it, ensuring the issue is resolved without complications.

5. I have a broken handle on my composite door

If your door handle comes off in your hand, it’s broken! If the handle is spinning around while still attached to the door, it may be related to a failed gearbox. Stephen can replace broken composite door handles with high-quality options in chrome, gold, or white, using only trusted brands like Hoppe and FabFix.
