Repair before replacement where sensible
Some problems can be resolved with adjustment, hardware replacement or local timber repair. A–Z will not promise a repair before seeing the condition, but will explain the practical options.
Replace everyday door furniture
Suitable like-for-like handles, tubular latches, keeps, bolts and other everyday internal-door hardware can often be renewed and aligned together. Security-critical locks, multipoint mechanisms and specialist external-door systems remain with a locksmith or door specialist.
Typical jobs
Door problems diagnosed from the way they behave.
Where a door catches, moves or refuses to latch usually gives a useful clue. The surrounding frame, hinges and hardware are checked before timber is removed or parts are changed.
Sticking, scraping or swollen-feeling internal doors
Dropped doors and loose, worn or poorly fixed hinges
Latches that miss the keep or fail to hold closed
Loose handles, spindles, roses and everyday door furniture
Doors that rattle, swing, rub the floor or need a stop
Minor frame, lining, architrave and damaged fixing-point repairs
Draught strips, simple thresholds and suitable weather seals
Minor external-door adjustment where security is not compromised
