Heavy Door Weight

Building Settlement
London’s clay soil and older buildings can settle over time, causing door frames to shift and doors to become misaligned.
Weather Changes
London’s variable weather causes wood and materials to expand and contract, affecting door fit and alignment over seasons.
Worn Hinges
Daily use causes hinges to wear, loosen, or break, leading to door dropping and misalignment issues requiring professional adjustment.
Poor Installation
Inadequate initial installation can cause alignment problems to develop over time as doors settle into their frames.
Forced Entry Damage
Break-in attempts or forced entry can damage door frames and hardware, causing long-term alignment problems requiring professional repair.

Door Realignment in London, UK
Door realignment is the adjustment of a door, its hinges, keeps and locking points so it sits square in the frame and closes, latches and locks smoothly again. Over time uPVC, wooden and composite doors drop, swell or shift, leaving them dragging on the floor, catching on the frame or only locking when lifted hard.
Our London door technicians realign the door on its hinges, adjust the keeps and strike plates, and tune the multipoint mechanism so the hooks and bolts meet the frame cleanly. Most realignments are done in a single visit without replacing the door or the lock.
Common signs you need a realignment are a door that scrapes the threshold, a handle you must lift hard to lock, draughty gaps, or a key that only turns when you pull the door toward you. Left alone, a misaligned door wears the gearbox and can fail completely, so an early adjustment saves a far bigger repair.
