A door that has shifted out of position can prevent the lock from engaging fully, even when the lock itself is in good condition. Knight & Falcon Locksmith realigns doors across London, restoring smooth, secure operation.
A door that drags on the floor, requires extra force to close, or a lock that only engages when the door is lifted or pulled into place are all signs of a realignment issue rather than a fault with the lock.
Hinge wear, seasonal expansion and contraction, and general settling of a property over time are the most frequent causes of a door falling out of alignment.
Rather than simply forcing the lock to work around a misaligned door, we address the underlying cause, adjusting hinges or the frame itself where needed.
All door realignment work is carried out by DBS checked, fully insured technicians, with a 12 month warranty on any parts replaced.
