Common security door problems

Security screen doors are everywhere in Concord and the Inner West, from older brick homes along the Canada Bay peninsula to newer townhouses. They are sturdy, but the lock mechanism lives outdoors and wears faster than an internal door lock.

  • The latch does not catch, so the door swings open in the wind
  • The key turns but the lock will not throw
  • Only one of the three locking points on a triple lock engages
  • The handle is loose or has snapped
  • The cylinder is stiff after years of rain and summer sun
  • The door has dropped and no longer lines up with the frame

Repair first, replace when it makes sense

Many security door faults are fixed by adjusting the door, re-aligning the strike or servicing the lock. When the lock body or cylinder is worn out, we fit a replacement that suits the door's existing cut-outs, so you are not paying for a new door because of a tired lock.

Triple-lock security doors

Triple-lock doors engage three bolts down the edge of the door at once. When they work properly they are among the strongest residential doors you can have. When the connecting rods slip or one bolt binds, the whole system stops working. We adjust and repair these systems on site.

Sliding security doors

Sliding security doors on patios and balconies use a different lock body and a hook bolt. We repair and replace those too, along with the sliding door locks on the glass door behind.

A strong grille with a tired lock is just a gate.

Security doors take a beating from weather, slamming and kids. The lock is usually the first thing to go, and the easiest thing to fix.

Keyed to match your front door

If your security door and front door take different keys, we can fit cylinders keyed alike so one key opens both. It is one of the most requested jobs in family homes, especially where children or elderly parents carry keys.

If you are also changing the main door lock, book both together and we handle them in one visit as part of a lock change.

Locked out by the security door

A common late-night call: the inner door is unlocked, but the security door has latched or been locked behind you. We open security doors with the same care as any other lockout, and if the lock was the cause, we can repair it before we leave.

Security door questions

Can you repair a security door lock instead of replacing the door?

Usually, yes. Most problems are in the lock or alignment rather than the door itself. We repair or replace the lock and keep the door.

Why will my security door not latch?

The most common causes are a door that has dropped on its hinges, a misaligned strike, or a worn latch spring. All of these can be fixed on site.

Can my security door and front door use the same key?

Yes, in most cases we can fit cylinders keyed alike so one key opens both.

Do you work on sliding security doors?

Yes. We repair and replace locks on hinged and sliding security doors.

Do you supply new security doors?

Our focus is the locks and hardware. If the door frame itself is badly damaged, we tell you honestly and suggest what to look for in a replacement.
