Door lock and handle repair services
Door handles and exterior door locks can wear out over time due to constant use, misalignment, weather exposure or failed internal components. Symptoms include loose handles, stiff operation, a key that won’t turn, grinding sounds or a handle that hangs down. We repair or replace faulty handles, lock cases, cylinders and latch mechanisms using high-quality, durable parts to restore your door’s security and usability. In many cases, realignment is included to prevent the problem returning.
What causes door locks and handles to fail?
- Common causes include:
- Worn internal springs
- Rusted or seized lock mechanisms
- Misaligned doors putting strain on the handle
- Loose or damaged spindles
- Excessive force being used on stiff locks

Our Reviews
Honest Reviews. Real Results. Happy Customers.
Really impressed with how fast Paul fixed my misted unit. I thought I’d need a whole new window, but he replaced just the glass and saved me a fortune. Highly recommend!
South-facing windows had 16 blown panels. Replacement quote was huge. Paul replaced 17 panels quickly and at 1/4 of the cost. Amazing.
We had 3 windows and a door not shutting properly. Nearly paid £4500 for replacements. Paul fixed them all for a fraction of the cost. Brilliant.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Paul at Ace Windows & Door Fixer. He was the most responsive, informative & professional of 3 companies. Sorted condensation issue fast and at excellent price. Highly recommend.
Paul came out to measure and quote for a replacement unit for a misted up double glazed window pane. Quoted me a fair price on the spot. Came back a few days later and fitted the new unit. No fuss, no mess. Highly recommend.
The porch handle broke on my parents house. The double glazing was at least 40 years old. But Paul located a replacement handle, which was incredibly rare and rescued the day. Paul is courteous, communicates well and goes above and beyond to solve your problems.
Paul has been fixing my windows and doors since last year. Value for money. Quick response with fast action. Great service and highly recommended!
We’d been struggling with a uPVC door which kept sticking and the handle was not operating properly. Paul responded to my enquiry promptly, came out in the following couple of days and dealt with the issue quickly.
Great service from start to finish. Thank you very pleased.
