Have problems with a tilt-and-slide or tilt-and-turn door?
With our extensive experience in the uPVC repair industry, Danum Locksmiths stands out as a reliable and knowledgeable service provider. Our speciality is tilt and slide/turn doors, which were popular two to three decades ago. While these doors are durable, they do require maintenance over time. So many others will walk away from these repairs and recommend a new door.
If you can’t open the door now, we can help. If it’s coming off its bottom track or sometimes off the top track, we can help. Danum Locksmiths can access most of the original supplier’s parts and repair your door at a fraction of the replacement cost. If the handle is spinning or stuck in position, it will need a new locking mechanism known as a “drive gear”. Though these are in short supply, we still have stock.
If the door wants to fall inwards, the top gliders have worn out and need replacing. This can be a scary experience at the time, but the door will still close and be secure – do not operate till we have attended. This repair can take ten minutes or forever. The installation of the door and the fitting of blinds can determine this.
If the door has come off its track at the bottom or is hard to close, it needs the bottom running gear looking at and aligning. Not to be attempted by a novice.
We can also replace the handles on these doors if someone loses or snaps their key in the lock. We have these in white, gold and silver.
So even if the original supplier is no longer trading and you have been told to replace the whole door, first call Stephen at Danum Locksmiths on 01302 460356 or for a quote. If you can gather information from the door, you can ensure an accurate quote.
