Handle Fitting and Repair
Loose handles are tightened and broken or worn handles are replaced with ones that suit the door.
Handles, Latches and Hinges in Dubai
Handles, latches and hinges fitted and adjusted
In Brief
Handle, latch and hinge work fits new door hardware or adjusts what is already there so the door opens, closes and latches smoothly. We check whether the problem is the hardware or the door, and match new fittings to the door.
Door hardware takes constant use. Handles loosen and drop, latches wear and stop catching, and hinges sag as screws work loose, so the door drags on the floor or no longer lines up with the frame. These are quick to fix when caught early, and worth fixing because a badly latched door is also a weak one.
We check how the door sits in the frame, tighten or replace the hardware and adjust the hinges and strike plate so everything lines up. Where the door itself has swollen or warped, we can deal with that too; see our carpentry service. For the lock itself see lock repair. The full service is on our locksmith page.
