Who We Are

Fixing floppy handles and jammed uPVC doors

Does your front door feel like it needs a wrestling match just to get the handle to lift? Or maybe it’s started sticking as the weather changes? Most of the time, you don't actually need a whole new door; you just need a bit of expert TLC. uPVC and composite doors rely on complex multi-point locking systems that can easily get out of alignment or suffer from gearbox failure. We’re specialists in these tricky mechanisms. From replacing failed gearboxes to realigning doors that have dropped over time, we can usually fix the problem on our first visit. If your handle feels floppy or the lock is getting crunchy, give us a shout on 0191 743 2410 before it fails completely and leaves you stuck.

Keeping your Durham home properly secure

Have you heard of 'lock snapping'? It's a method many burglars use because standard cylinders can be broken in seconds with basic tools. It sounds worrying, but the fix is actually quite straightforward. We install high-security anti-snap cylinders that meet British Standard BS3621. These locks are specifically designed to stay secure even if someone tries to force them. If you've just moved into a new home in Stanley or Leadgate, or you're worried your current locks aren't up to insurance standards, we can perform a full security audit. We’ll make sure your property is a tough nut to crack, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
