In Doncaster, you need a composite door service.
We are here to make the using of your composite door easier and save money.
Why will it save you money?
Because the door mechanisms that keep the door secure are not bullet proof. Pushing the handle too much will break the mechanism. This can be an expensive repair. The mechanism is the long silver strip that runs down the edge of the door. If it were to fail, it could leave you with a door that is open and insecure. Or you cannot open it and it locks you in or out.
We do offer a full composite door repair service in this case. We can replace all types of mechanisms that exist.
We are excited to share the news that SF Locksmith Doncaster has once again clinched a spot among the top 3 locksmiths in Doncaster, earning the esteemed 2024 Certificate of Excellence from ThreeBestRated.
uPVC doors can expand in heat
After a wet Winter and Spring, we are all desperate to see some sunshine. Well I am and being able to turn the central heating off will be a bonus. What surprises some is that our uPVC and wooden doors can swell in the warmer temperatures and contract in the cooler temps. So can uPVC doors expand in the heat? In fact a lower Sun at midday in April hitting a south facing upvc or composite door can be incredibly hot to touch and definitely swell.
Distraction burglary is a form of burglary where a burglar goes to an occupied house and attempts to trick the occupant into allowing them into the property, or creates a convincing diversion so that an accomplice burglar can gain access.

When a door lock is faulty it can mean that the door may not open, close or lock securely. This is often a result of age, and general wear and tear but can also be due to vandalism or an attempted break in.

Lock snapping in Doncaster is on the rise again. I have attended break-ins in all parts of the borough in the last few weeks and in most cases it is through the snapping of the locks on upvc and composite doors.

You’d be pretty surprised how many people ask me what exactly a day in the life of a locksmith entails or even if I’m busy. In fact and I speak for the vast majority of established locksmiths, it’s the best job in the world at times. Supplying & fitting locks may not sound enthralling and it probably isn’t. But who gets to go into other peoples houses which vary from the top to the bottom. When I say bottom I mean the very bottom at times- disgusting.

uPVC doors are like any component of your home, they may start off looking and working great but after time they can experience problems. If this sounds like something you’ve experienced, here are just some of the reasons you might want to think about uPVC door repairs.
The average person is said to move three times before they reach the age of 45, almost making moving house a national pastime. While it’s often considered one of the most stressful events someone can go through, it doesn’t have to be, providing you take certain steps to help you alleviate the strain.
When you think of a locksmith, you picture someone who fixes locks and puts them in. They also cut duplicate keys. But, in the past, locksmiths played a key part. They designed, developed, and made locks and keys.

Coldseal doors and windows were a popular choice many years ago. For most households they were a good value choice for new double glazing installations. But unfortunately the company went into liquidation, leaving customers with not only no warranty but no backup service.
Are you in need of the services of an emergency locksmith in the Doncaster area? SF Locksmith are here to help.
During hot or cold temperatures do you have trouble locking your uPVC patio door ? Many people are surprised to learn that temperature changes can harm uPVC patio doors. They do contract in the cooler temperature and expand as the weather warms again. As we experience hotter summers, this is only going to become a bigger problem.
Correct uPVC door alignment is important as we approach the Summer months. Why? During cold spells, doors often shrink. This causes the door to no longer sit in the frame. When the hot weather arrives and the doors then expand they misalign again just a little. Every year that passes adds up and the door will become more and more difficult to lock. This is the time to look at a uPVC door service in Doncaster before it’s too late.
First class service at the best prices. Arrived within two hours in a non emergency situation. Job completed to our satisfaction . I’ve already recommended to friends.
