Common Wooden Door Issues We Fix
Even though wooden doors are known for being long-lasting and highly robust, they tend to lose this strength over time. That’s why our experienced door experts are on hand to help in the following areas:
Broken or damaged locks
Is your door locked jammed? Not working properly? Does it look broken? We can repair it or just install a new door lock, especially an anti-snap one. The locking mechanisms installed by us will transform your residential/commercial property into an impenetrable fortress, resisting common burglary attempts. Whether you need someone to fix your wooden door lock or replace the thing in its entirety, we at Lock & Key will accommodate your needs, providing access to experienced, trained locksmiths.
Swollen or warped doors
Temperature changes and moisture-level fluctuations can throw your wooden door easily out of alignment. When something like this happens, your home becomes open to draughts along with burglary instances. You’ll feel anxious and uncomfortable. So, our locksmiths will bring the door back into alignment and make it fit snugly within its frame. That’s how your wooden door begins to function properly again. We’ll prevent warping issues by applying a protective treatment to the door as well.
Sticking or misaligned doors
Are you facing trouble getting out of your room because the door doesn’t open? No matter how hard you try, it refuses to budge? Jammed doors can make even the most patient person easily unhappy! Wooden doors tend to get stuck in place when weather changes abruptly. These quick changes can throw your wood out of alignment. But our DBS-approved locksmiths can make the necessary adjustments to resolve this problem.
Broken hinges and loose fittings
If your wooden door creaks, wobbles, or feels unstable, it is probably due to worn-out hinges or loose screws. Loose hinges and screws can render a door unstable and insecure. We can either reinforce or replace these components to ensure your door remains robust, secure, and operates smoothly.
Frame and structural damage
Cracked, split, or weakened wooden door frames can significantly compromise your security. A weakened frame makes it easier for intruders to gain forced entry, posing a substantial risk to your property. At Lock & Key Doncaster, we offer expert reinforcement and repair services to ensure your door and home remain secure. Whether your frame has been damaged by wear and tear, accidental harm, or an attempted break-in, we can restore its original strength, providing you with enhanced security and that all important peace of mind.
Drafty wooden doors
Damage sustained by your wooden door will make it poorly insulated. So, you will start feeling a bit chilly in your home. Keep in mind that your doors not only keep burglars away but also play a key role in weatherproofing your property. That’s why you should contact our locksmiths right away to reseal your wooden doors. That’s how we can help you get rid of draught & moisture to restore your domestic insulation.

Common Causes of Wooden Door Damage

Environmental factors
Temperature fluctuations can also make your wooden doors weak. Such as rising humidity. So, your door may expand or contract when temperature rises/drops suddenly.
Wear and tear
Over time, the natural ageing process of a wooden door, combined with general wear and tear including scratches, dents, and loose components, can compromise its functionality.
Poor maintenance
Frequent maintenance can always give your wooden door’s lifespan a much-needed boost, especially if you clean it and reseal it from time to time.

If your wooden door begins to wither slowly, you should call us at Lock & Key for maintenance work. We specialise in repairing wooden doors installed in UK homes.
Cleaning and resealing wooden doors
