When a door catches or scrapes against the frame, it puts strain on the locking mechanism. Emergency Locks Ltd provides professional door realignment across London, fixing the root cause rather than just the symptom.
A door that drags on the frame, is difficult to close fully, or has a lock that’s become stiff or difficult to engage are all common signs of misalignment, usually caused by worn hinges or a settling frame.
A misaligned door often can’t fully engage its multi-point locking mechanism, even if the lock itself is in good working order, meaning your property may be less secure than it appears.
In many cases, realignment resolves the issue without needing to replace the door, hinges, or lock: a simpler and more affordable fix than most people expect.
