Types of Aluminum Doors We Service Across Dubai

Sliding Aluminum Door Locks

Sliding aluminum door locks present the most frequent repair requests. The horizontal track system requires precise alignment between the sliding panel and the frame-mounted strike plate. Roller wear or track damage throws alignment off. The center lock mechanism contains small components prone to breaking under repeated daily use.

Hinged Aluminum Door Locks

Hinged aluminum door locks use traditional mortise lock bodies or cylinder lock systems. Aluminum frames sometimes lack depth for standard residential locks. We install specialized locks designed for narrow aluminum door profiles. These locks deliver security comparable to thicker door systems while fitting available aluminum frame space.

Balcony and Patio Door Locks

Balcony door locks and patio door locks face maximum weather exposure. Salt air corrosion happens faster on these exterior applications. We recommend replacing exterior aluminum door locks every 4 to 6 years rather than waiting for emergency lock failure. Preventive lock replacement costs less than emergency locksmith calls plus door damage.

Main Entrance and Commercial Office Door Locks

Main entrance aluminum door locks and commercial office door locks require higher security ratings. Commercial grade locks offer pick resistance, drill resistance, and reinforced strike plates. We assess your door security needs and recommend appropriate lock grades for critical entry points.

Common Aluminum Door Lock Problems and Expert Solutions

Lock Jamming Issues

Lock jamming occurs when internal pins stick from dirt accumulation, corrosion, or mechanical damage. Forcing jammed locks typically breaks internal components and converts simple repairs into costly replacements. Professional lock cleaning and lubrication resolves minor jamming. Severe cylinder damage requires new lock installation.

Spinning Door Handles

Door handles spinning freely indicate broken connections between handles and internal lock mechanisms. This happens when mounting screws loosen or internal spindle parts break under stress. Tightening loose screws fixes simple cases. Broken spindles need handle replacement or complete lock replacement depending on damage extent.

Keys Not Turning Properly

Keys turning partially signal lock cylinder wear or key damage. Worn keys have rounded edges failing to lift lock pins properly. Damaged cylinders have worn pin chambers. We provide lock rekeying services for worn keys when cylinders remain functional. Damaged lock cylinders need replacement with new cylinders.

Door Latches Not Catching

Door latches failing to catch result from strike plate misalignment or worn latch bolts. Building settlement moves strike plate positions slightly over time. We realign and secure strike plates when structurally possible. Worn latch bolts no longer extending fully require lock mechanism replacement.
