Are your French doors sticking, difficult to close or refusing to lock? Perhaps the handle has become stiff, the key won't turn, or the door has jammed shut and won't open.

At A.L.S Locksmith, we provide professional French door lock repairs, gearbox replacements and door realignment across Paisley, Glasgow and the surrounding areas.

You don't need new doors. Many problems can be resolved by repairing the existing locking mechanism, replacing a faulty component or correcting the door alignment.

French Door Won't Open or Lock?

French doors rely on correctly aligned hinges, locking points and mechanisms to operate smoothly. When one component fails, the door can become difficult to open, close or secure.

We diagnose and repair a range of common problems, including:

• Jammed French doors: The door is stuck shut and won't open.

• Doors that won't lock: The handle lifts but the locking points fail to engage.

• Sticking doors: The door catches against the frame when opening or closing.

• Faulty gearboxes: Internal components fail, preventing the locking mechanism from working correctly.

• Stiff or faulty handles: The handle is difficult to lift, turn or operate.

• Misaligned doors: Dropped doors prevent the locking points from lining up with the keeps.

• Faulty multipoint locks: Hooks, rollers or bolts fail to retract or engage properly.

Identifying the cause is essential. A door that won't lock may have a failed gearbox, but it could also be caused by misalignment or pressure on the locking points.

Professional French Door Lock Repairs

At A.L.S Locksmith, we assess the fault and determine the most practical repair.

Depending on the problem, we can adjust the hinges, realign the door, replace a faulty gearbox or repair the locking mechanism where suitable parts are available.

If the door is jammed shut, we work to gain access with minimal damage wherever possible before addressing the underlying fault.

Once the repair is complete, we test the door's operation to check that the handle, locking points and key work correctly.

French Door Realignment – Don't Ignore the Warning Signs

If you need to push, pull or lift your French doors to get them to lock, the door may have dropped or moved out of alignment.

Continuing to force the handle can put additional strain on the gearbox and locking mechanism, potentially leading to complete failure.

Correcting the alignment early can help restore smooth operation and prevent further damage to the locking components.

You Don't Need New French Doors

A faulty lock or sticking door does not automatically mean you need a replacement door. In many cases, a repair or mechanism upgrade can restore reliable operation without the cost of replacing the complete installation.

We focus on repairing existing doors wherever practical, providing straightforward advice on the options available.
