Guelph Repairs Door Locks

Door locks can fail in a multitude of ways.  The key can snap in the lock, the lock itself can seize up, parts of the locking mechanism can break internally and over time the teeth on the key can also wear down no longer pushing the locking pins into the correct position.  At this point the key will usually go into the lock but it won’t turn.

Lock failures usually require repairing by our professional as the old lock needs to be removed and the new one installed.  Depending on the type and size of lock this may require additional work to the door to install fixings for the new lock.

Most exterior doors have some sort of weather stripping which is installed around the inner frame of the door for draught exclusion.  If this stripping starts to deteriorate or comes away it can leave gaps which, if not repaired, can lead to further damage to the door caused by cold and wet weather.  In untreated wooden doors this can lead to door swelling if the weather conditions are humid.

The gaps will also cause heat loss from the house which can increase heating bills.  The weather stripping compresses once the locking points are engaged creating a water tight seal to help prevent water ingress.

Door frames can also be responsible for preventing a door from opening or closing.  If the frame is swollen or cracked it can interfere with the normal operation of the door.  If a frame is damaged around the hinges it can cause the hinges to come away which will cause alignment problems. If a door frame is swollen it can prevent a door from opening or closing.

The good news is repairing a door frame isn’t usually as expensive or as complex as repairing a door.  If you have a problem with your locks or doors give Locksmith Guelph a call.  We’re available 24 hours a day.
