Our Extensive Wooden Door Lock and Repair Services
A wooden door is one of the most common types of doors you get in the UK, and typically remains in older-style properties. If you want a door that retains a classical feeling, wood might be the best choice on the market. However, while highly stylish, wooden doors are not immune to the kind of issues you can find with other door types.
From stiff opening and closing due to swelling to locks that no longer respond to your keys, the issues you can run into with wooden doors can be quite extensive.
We understand the worry that you can get when you find that your wooden doors no longer work as they once did. Instead of panicking, though, call our friendly team straight away. At Lock & Key, we are masters at solving issues with wooden doors to ensure they work smoothly once again.
Wooden doors are a fantastic asset from a functional and aesthetic perspective, but problems should not be ignored. As soon as you feel like something is not right about your doors, contact the Lock & Key team for a diagnosis you can trust.
Common Wooden Door Issues We Fix
In our 30+ years in the locksmithing industry, we have seen just about every issue you can imagine with wooden doors. Generally, we find the most typical problems involve:
Broken or damaged locks
Locks are like any other mechanical installation; over time, they can begin to fail due to all manner of reasons. The locks might stick or jam, they might become misaligned, or they might simply have parts which have worn out. Whatever the issue, we can restore your locks ASAP. From a clean-out to ensure the locks are free of debris to lock replacements with high-security alternatives, we can implement a solution that gets your doors working again.
Warped or swelling doors
As we all know, Leeds in West Yorkshire is a place where the weather can be a little inconsistent. This consistent changing of air pressure, humidity, heat, and rain levels can soon lead to your doors expanding and contracting. Over time, this can lead to problems with your doors’ alignment, meaning that the doors feel ill-fitting for their frames and/or mechanisms like the locks no longer line up as they did before.
Sticking or misaligned doors
We regularly find wooden doors in Leeds that have become misaligned. This could be down to the building itself moving, incorrect installation, soil erosion, or the door warping due to changes in the weather. Whatever the reason for your doors becoming misaligned, we can find out the cause of the issue and then get to work on repairing it. Re-aligning your doors is a simple way to get operations back to normal.
Broken hinges and loose fittings
Hinges and other mechanical parts of your doors can fail at any time. They could snap, become frozen, or lose their original alignment. When that happens, we can realign, repair, or, if needed, replace your hinges. If any other parts of your door mechanisms fail, we can fix these as well.
Frame and structural damage
Sometimes, the problem with your door is not down to the door itself but to the frame. We find many doors are in perfect condition, but the frames have sunk, shrunk, or become damaged. That could lead to the door no longer fitting snugly into the frame. If this is the case, we can find a way to repair the damage and get your door opening and closing correctly once again. If the problem is structural, we can find a solution that restores previous functionality.
Drafty wooden doors
Have you found that your doors seem to be allowing more wind and drafts into the building? Then you could have an issue. It only takes a tiny gap around the perimeter of your door or door frames to allow a draft in. If that is the case, you might be losing energy efficiency; the cost of door drafts to your energy bills can be quite surprising. Let us restore door functionality and eliminate drafts with re-sealing and door alignment.
Damage from burglary repairs
If your wooden doors are hit with something, either via accident or during a break-in attempt, you might find your doors need to be replaced. We can offer temporary solutions such as boarding up the entry point or helping you to find and source the best doors to have fitted in their place. No matter the reasons for the physical damage, we can give you valuable advice on restoring your wooden doors.

Common Causes of Wooden Door Damage
We have been dealing with wooden doors in Leeds for decades, so we know what kind of problems tend to crop up. The most regular repair services we deliver are various, but include:
Weather conditions
From storms that crop up from time to time to debris blown around in the wind, your door could be damaged by the weather, including expansion/contraction.
Wear and tear
Every door, even the most durable ones, will suffer from wear and tear as time goes on. We can spot the signs of wear and tear and offer solutions.
Lack of maintenance
Wooden doors require consistent maintenance; if you have not managed your doors for some time, they could fall into disrepair.

We offer prompt door maintenance services that you can use to make sure your wooden doors in Leeds are in full working order.
Cleaning and resealing wooden doors
Sometimes, all your doors need is some cleaning to help get rid of debris in the locks. They might also need to be re-sealed, which can occur after years of usage. When the seals wear away, your doors become vulnerable to weather-based issues like drafts.
Replacing hardware components
Wooden doors can become outdated mechanically when new lock systems come on the market. Since criminals never stop finding new ways to break through locks, we make sure that your locks and door mechanisms are up-to-date to help stay resistant to break-in attempts.
