Common warning signs
Signs this service may be needed
Changes in normal movement, security or performance are worth checking before the problem becomes more disruptive.
Lock feels stiff
This symptom can develop as a result of hinge wear. Reviewing connected hardware helps identify the most practical repair.
Door scrapes

Hinge is loose
Changes caused by weather exposure can affect normal operation. We compare alignment, movement and component condition to pinpoint the fault.

Why this problem happens
Everyday use, movement and exposure
Daily use gradually loosens hardware and wears contact points.
Building movement changes the clearances around doors and windows.
Moisture can swell timber and prevent smooth closing or latching.

Common causes
Frame movement
Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the security door repairs lining up, closing or locking correctly.
Hinge wear
Hinges carry the moving weight of the system. Wear, loose fixings or bending can allow the panel or gate to drop and move out of alignment.
Misaligned strike
Misaligned strike can change the way this particular security door repairs moves, closes or performs and should be confirmed through an on-site inspection.
Weather exposure
Melbourne weather, moisture and temperature changes can corrode hardware, affect materials and gradually reduce reliable movement.
