Door Doctor in Barnsley

The term “Door Doctor” describes a tradesperson specialising in repairing doors. uPVC Door Repairs Barnsley have over 25 years of experience in this industry. Beginning life as a locksmith, we quickly realised that our niche was repairs. It’s strange that if a person loses a key, they feel aggrieved when paying to be got back into their house. This is against paying to have a door fixed at possibly a tenth of the cost of a new door! We preferred the repairs to the “lockouts”. So, we are here if you need a door doctor in Barnsley.

The door will not lock/close.

There could be various reasons. This could be an easy fix—and it could be like finding a needle in a haystack. The first time I encountered this problem, it took me ages, and I had no one to “phone a friend.” This same problem takes me a few minutes now. Though it does not take a few minutes every time, I still end up having to step back and take a look from a different angle at times.

Another reason could be that the locking mechanism has failed, which I will discuss below.

The door will not open.

This usually means a fault on the multipoint lock. This is in the door to keep it secure and free from draughts. They fail; usually, after 10-12 years, it can fail when the door opens. To test this- lift the handle while the door is open. If it does not lock, it has failed. If the door is in a closed position, we have all the skills to open the door damage-free. Our knowledge of what parts are needed is second to none.  We aim to be able to replace any faulty locking mechanism there and there. The door will be serviced and checked for any underlying faults as to why it failed.
