A door that sticks, drops or won't lock properly is one of the most common calls we get from East Dulwich — and in almost every case the door itself is fine. The fault is alignment, worn hinges, a damaged keep or a mechanism that's drifted out of adjustment. From our Grove Vale base we reach any SE22 address in 15–25 minutes and fix most door faults in a single visit, from £65.
East Dulwich's mix of UPVC doors on newer builds and timber doors on period terraces means we see the full range: dropped UPVC doors that won't engage their bolts, swollen timber doors that stick in damp weather, and frames damaged by past forced entry.

Door repair East Dulwich — FAQs
My UPVC door has dropped and won't lock in East Dulwich — can it be fixed?
Yes, almost always. A dropped UPVC door is usually a hinge adjustment and realignment job, sometimes with a gearbox service if the mechanism has been strained. Most are fixed in one visit from £65.
Do you repair doors damaged in a break-in?
Yes. We repair damaged frames, keeps and lock cases after forced entry, fit insurance-approved replacement hardware, and provide the itemised documentation your insurer needs — with 24/7 emergency securing available.
My UPVC door has dropped and won't lock — can it be fixed?
Yes, in almost every case. A dropped UPVC door is usually a hinge adjustment and realignment job, sometimes combined with a gearbox service if the mechanism has been strained. We resolve most dropped-door faults in a single visit from £65.
My wooden front door sticks in damp weather — what can be done?
Timber swells with moisture — it's normal, especially on older Dulwich doors. We ease the door precisely so it closes cleanly year-round, and adjust the keep so the lock engages properly. It's a straightforward job and far cheaper than a new door.
