Door Realignment Manchester
Doors can drop, shift, or warp over time due to hinge wear, seasonal temperature changes, building settlement, or simply the weight of the door. When a door drops, the locking points no longer align with their keeps in the frame, causing the door to stick, drag on the floor, or fail to lock at all. This is an extremely common problem, particularly with heavy composite doors and older uPVC doors.
Our locksmiths resolve door alignment issues by adjusting hinges (flag hinges on uPVC doors can be raised, lowered, and laterally adjusted), repositioning keep plates to match the shifted locking points, and in some cases replacing worn hinges entirely. Proper alignment ensures your door closes smoothly, locks securely, and forms a tight seal against weather. We carry replacement hinges, keep plates, and adjustment tools for same-day correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why has my door dropped?
The most common causes are worn or sagging hinges and loose hinge screws. Heavy composite doors are particularly prone to this. We adjust or replace the hinges to restore proper alignment.
Will realignment fix my locking problem?
If your door won't lock because the locking points don't align with the keeps, then yes — realignment is usually the solution. If the lock mechanism itself is faulty, we'll identify and repair that instead.
