Why is it Important to Look After Your Patio Door Locks?
Leaving patio door lock issues as is can lead to more headaches. It’s best to act early and get any signs of trouble looked at by a pro.
Burglars often target the easiest entry points, such as weak patio door locks. Worn-out and defective locks are security vulnerabilities. That’s why we trained our locksmiths to spot and fix such weak spots fast. We’ll strengthen your patio doors before anyone with bad intentions gets the chance to exploit the loophole. You’ll never worry about being targeted by intruders ever again.
Common Patio Door Lock Issues
It’s not uncommon to see patio door lock problems as identical (you see one, you’ve seen them all). However, the root causes typically vary. That’s why it’s best to call a professional locksmith in York to pinpoint the issue. You’ll get precise results with a locksmith who understands these lock types inside out. Our years of experience show patio door lock failures can be due to:
Broken or worn-out locks
Damaged or worn door locks can loosen the mechanism, making them unusable. Wear and tear are quite common across all lock types, not just patio doors. Regardless, it’s an issue that can immensely undermine your property security.
Door misalignment
Newly installed patio doors can sometimes face alignment issues. When that happens, the door’s locking mechanism could struggle to work smoothly. Or, it could fail altogether. These issues won’t go away until corrected with alignment adjustments.
Jammed locks
Misalignment and worn parts can also produce door jamming. Even something small like debris lodged in the mechanism can create such issues. These blockages can cause headaches without proper attention.
Broken keys
Keys can also snap inside patio doors, jamming the lock mechanism. Removing the broken key (safely) is the only solution. While that may be the case, we cannot advise you to remove the broken bit yourself. Let us do it to ensure permanent damage doesn’t come to your lock.
Faulty mechanisms
Frequent (and incorrect) use can hasten the wear of a patio door’s internal mechanisms. It can adversely affect the lock’s response and make it more challenging to secure your patio door properly. We’ll quickly zero in on the issue. We’ll swiftly fix it too. You’ll have your patio door working fine in no time.
Our Lock & Key York team is ready to help with whatever’s causing trouble with your patio door lock. Call us today for professional advice and expect swift, dependable solutions.

Yes, we can provide you with a quote even before taking on the job. This way, you’ll know what you’re paying us for! We will ask relevant questions and assess the situation by using photos. It will help us realise how much it’s fair to charge.
How much Is a locksmith call out charge?
We don’t have a call-out fee here at Lock & Key York. We only bill you for a service that we provide based on your unique situation. We value honesty & transparency. Also, you don’t pay us a hidden fee or something.
How can I pay for the work carried out?
Payments can be easily made in cash or via all major debit and credit cards.
How much does it cost to change my locks and keys?
The cost of making lock and key replacements can vary based on the type, number, and the nature of locks/keys that you want us to change. However, please refer to our general price guide to get a rough idea. But it’s better to get in touch with our locksmiths to get a more accurate quote.
