Tilt and slide door repairs Barnsley

Tilt and slide doors were very popular in the 1990s. They let lots of light into the rear of a property and can be left on tilt during the day, allowing the room to be vented and cooled. They are now at the point where they require attention, and KeyEdge is here for tilt and slide door repairs in Barnsley.

The door no longer opens

The most common fault and stems from wear and tear. You will find the handle spins or is solid. Around the edge of the door runs a mechanism. This keeps the door secure and draught-free. Known as the “drive gear,” it will eventually fail. We have the parts and skills for a drive gear repair. Our competitors seem to pass on these repairs, but parts are available—we have access to brilliant suppliers. The door can be opened without damage, and the drive gear then replaced.

The door topples out at the top

Another problem, which definitely comes from wear and tear, is the glider’s arms holding the top of the door. The constant sliding back and forth wears these, and they crumble. You will be aware of this when the door disconnects at the top. The door will still be safe if you push it back in place. At this point, you call KeyEdge Locksmiths. Then, we will replace the necessary parts.

I’m struggling to close the door

Here is a sign that the door is ready for service. The bottom of the door glides on a “bottom bogey”.  A mix of things can occur; we can resolve these and help get the door opening and closing smoothly.

All the above issues can be easily quoted over the phone. Our emergency call-out service is available if you need a quick solution.
