Frequently asked questions

Can damaged door metal always be repaired?

It depends on the extent and location of the damage. We assess whether realignment, reinforcement or panel repair is appropriate.

What do external repair plates do?

A correctly selected plate can help protect and cover a damaged or vulnerable area while reinforcing the door.

Can additional locks be fitted at the same time?

Often, yes. We can discuss a combined repair and security upgrade where the door condition allows it.
