Patio doors explained

The term ‘patio doors’ has evolved to encompass various door types. It described sliding doors into a garden or paved area. But, now, it includes French doors and even a single uPVC door.

Common issues with patio doors

1. I’m unable to open my patio door

You don’t need to worry; Stephen is an experienced locksmith with decades of expertise in these areas and will help you.

The most frequent reasons for a patio door not opening include:

• Gearbox failure controlling the multipoint lock is often due to wear and tear, with an average lifespan of only ten years.
• Alignment issues require force on the handle to lock or unlock and release.
• Cylinder failure, preventing the key from turning or unlocking the gearbox.

Do you think a replacement door is necessary?

Certainly not. In nearly all cases, we can repair your patio door. Our goal is to fix your door, saving you money. With our extensive stock of original parts, we can complete the work on the initial visit, ensuring your security. All work is guaranteed for two years.

2. My patio door won’t lock

Many of our calls concern a door that won’t lock. Quickly resolved, this could be a failed mechanism or an alignment issue. If the door still locks when it is ajar, it is possible that there is an alignment problem, and it will need service.

3. The handle on my patio door is damaged

If the handle is no longer attached to the door, it’s broken and can be easily replaced with our extensive stock of high-quality handles from Hoppe and FabFix, considered the best on the market.

If the handle is still connected but spinning, the multipoint locking mechanism is more likely to be at fault, which we can rectify.

4. The key refuses to turn in my patio door

Modern patio doors with high-security locks can be challenging. Let SF Locksmiths Rotherham help resolve the issue without attempting DIY fixes.

5. My patio door is causing a draft

Misalignment can cause drafts, leading to heat and money loss. We routinely address this issue with adjustments to restore the door to its original fit.

Can you replace hinges on my patio door?

We regularly perform this task. While it may seem simple, mishandling it can make you worse off. Let SF Locksmiths take care of it.

Is it feasible to repair aged aluminium sliding doors?

This has become more challenging, given the obsolescence of many original parts. We can install additional patio locks; although they could be better, they assist.
