Door Locking Mechanism Replacements & Repairs in Coventry

Common signs include:

• Handle turns but doesn’t engage the lock

• Door feels loose when closed

• Lock is stiff or doesn’t fully turn

• You have to lift the handle multiple times

• Locking points don’t retract properly

These usually point to wear or failure in the internal gearbox or multi-point locking strip.

We fix and replace:

• Multi-point locking systems

• Centre gearboxes for uPVC/composite doors

• Shootbolts, hook locks, and deadbolts

• Lever-operated latch/lock combos

To keep your newly repaired or replaced mechanism working smoothly:

✅ Lubricate the Mechanism

Apply silicone spray (not WD-40) into the latch and locking points every 6–12 months. This prevents seizing and rust.

🚪 Don’t Slam the Door

Slamming can knock the internal gearbox out of alignment over time, especially on uPVC and composite doors.

🔍 Monitor Alignment

If the door starts dragging, catches, or becomes stiff again, it may be a sign of frame movement. Early hinge or adjustment work can prevent re-damaging the lock.
