We understand the common problems with composite doors.

1. My composite door will not open

A composite door is held secure via a multipoint lock that runs the length of the door. They will fall due to force on the handle or wear and tear. If the door handle, when pushed down, isn’t releasing the door, there is every chance it is a multi-point lock failure.

Other common issues are…

• Poor door alignment results in excessive force needed to lock the door or down to unlock and release the door.
• The weather also affects the door alignment. In hot summers, you need to force the handle to lock.
• Checking the handles repeatedly after locking them does not help the door’s lifespan. Please take care when you do it.

2. My composite door will not lock

Another common issue is when your composite door will not lock. The most common reason for this situation is one of two: either the door alignment or a multipoint lock failure. A simple test is to lift the handle while the door is open and try to lock it. If it does, then it’s alignment. If the lock still fails to engage, it will be a multipoint lock failure.

As before, SF Locksmith is your local Doncaster composite door repair specialist. They can fix all these problems.

3. The key will not turn on my composite door

Many modern composite doors now have high-security locks fitted. These locks are great at keeping unwanted intruders out but are more complex in design. This can increase the failure rate of these locks, which may result in the key not turning or sliding in.

If this happens to your door, you will need the services of a specialist like us. I just wanted to let you know that going on YouTube is not advisable here! All the different high-security locks require different skills for this situation. We will remove your lock and replace it with a three-star high-security cylinder, leaving you secure.

4. There is a draught from my composite door

It needs aligning if you feel the cold air around your composite door or can see daylight. Designers of composite doors have engineered the hinges to adjust for this issue. You have to be careful doing this yourself as they can be awkward and may result in making things worse. We will handle this.

5. The handles on my composite have broken

If the handle comes off in your hand, it is broken. The handle is still attached to the door but spins around. It likely relates to a failed gearbox. This will need attention.

Your composite door repair specialist in Doncaster can replace broken composite door handles. We carry a selection of chrome, gold, and white. We only use the brands Hoppe and FabFix. They are the best handles available today, different from the cheap ones that do not last.

What do you think could be done to fix these problems?

We have the skills and knowledge to open your composite door without damage. We do not use one technique; we first need to assess the door, but we can open it.

After this, we always have the composite door mechanisms, which means the repair will be drama-free. In some cases, you will only need the gearbox. Others will need complete mechanisms.

We will only use genuine parts and will never use copies. All work is also guaranteed for two years.
