French doors won't lock or are misaligned? SIDE Locksmiths repair and replace French door locks and mechanisms across South Yorkshire.
French doors — also known as double doors — have unique locking requirements. With two doors meeting in the middle, the locking mechanism must secure both the active and inactive leaf. If your French doors won't lock properly, the mechanism is stiff, or the doors have become misaligned, SIDE Locksmiths can diagnose and repair the issue across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
We repair and replace all types of French door locks, including multipoint locking systems, espagnolette locks, shoot bolt locks, and traditional deadbolt and rebate lock combinations. We carry common replacement parts in our van, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit.
A common issue with French doors is that one or both leaves drop over time, causing the locking points to misalign with the keeps. This makes the doors difficult to lock and can eventually cause the mechanism to fail. Our locksmiths can realign the doors, adjust the hinges, and ensure the locking mechanism operates smoothly.
We also recommend upgrading French door locks to meet current security standards. Many older French doors have inadequate locking mechanisms that are vulnerable to forced entry. We can assess your current French door security and recommend upgrades, including high-security rebate locks and additional locking devices.
