Door Adjustments & Realignment – Professional Local Service | A Swinswood Locksmiths

Is your door difficult to close, catching on the frame, or not locking properly? These are common signs that your door is out of alignment — a problem that gets worse over time if left untreated. At A Swinswood Locksmiths, we offer expert door adjustment and realignment services across Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas.

Whether it's a uPVC door, composite door, or wooden door, we can restore it to perfect working order — saving you money on unnecessary repairs or replacements.

Why Do Doors Need Realigning?

Doors naturally shift over time due to:

  • Weather changes (heat/cold expansion and contraction)

  • Everyday use and wear

  • Weak or worn hinges

  • Poor installation

  • Foundation movement in older buildings

When your door is out of alignment, it can put strain on the locking mechanism, cause drafts, or even lead to the full lock failing — often at the worst time. That’s why professional realignment is an affordable and important preventative service.

Signs Your Door Needs Adjustment

Not sure if your door is misaligned? Look out for these common symptoms:

  • 🚪 Door sticks, scrapes, or catches when closing

  • 🔒 Lock feels tight, stiff, or won’t engage properly

  • ⚠️ Handle must be forced up or down

  • 🪟 Visible gaps around the frame

  • ❌ Cold drafts or poor seal around the door

  • 🛑 Door won’t close fully without slamming

If you’re experiencing any of the above, it’s time to give us a call.
