French door repairs Doncaster

French door problems

French doors are like any part of your home that is used on a regular basis. They may start looking and working great, but they can have problems with time. If this sounds like your French doors, here are some reasons to think about French door repairs in Doncaster.

What are the common problems with French doors?

You can expect your home’s doors to suffer some wear and tear over the years. In general, you should expect about ten to 12 years of use. Problems will start to arise then. It’s an approximate time length and depends on the fitting and material quality.

A multipoint lock is the central locking element. It runs the entire length of the door. When lifting the handle, it holds the doors secure. This quality varies, and the ones fitted with Fuhr are the best.

When it’s hot or the hinges are worn, the doors start touching when closing. This misalignment of the door and frame can make it difficult to open and close the door.

If you encounter any of these issues – don’t panic. While you may think you must replace the whole door, this is untrue. A good door service resolves the problem more often than not. We provide this service, so call for a quote.

Why replace the lock?

If the doors do not now lock after lifting the handle, the multipoint lock could have failed.
