Why Sliding Door Lock and Handle Repair Is Important
Most homeowners only notice a lock problem once it becomes serious. A sliding door that does not secure properly can create a safety issue and allow air leaks that raise energy bills. Professional sliding door lock and handle repair restores both safety and comfort in your home.
Common Sliding Door Lock and Handle Problems
Here are the most common issues that require professional repair:
- Lock will not latch or engage fully
- Handle feels loose or wobbly
- Key won’t turn or gets stuck
- Lock and frame do not align
- Corrosion and rust from humidity
These issues often get worse over time, especially near the coast where weather affects metal parts faster.
Why South Florida Homes Need Extra Lock Protection
Heat, rain, and salty air speed up damage to sliding door components in South Florida. Locks, screws, and handles often rust, break, or shift out of position. A professional inspection ensures the lock works properly and the door stays secure.
