Patio Doors: The Importance of Repairing Over Replacing

Blam Africa • November 27, 2024

Patio doors are a central feature in many homes, providing easy access to outdoor spaces while enhancing the overall aesthetic of your property. However, like all doors, patio doors can experience wear and tear over time. Whether you're dealing with draughts, broken locks, or damaged panels, patio doors can often be repaired rather than replaced entirely. At Double Glazing Doctors, we specialise in offering cost-effective, reliable repair services that rejuvenate your existing doors, restoring their functionality and appearance without the need for expensive replacements.

Common Patio Door Problems We Can Repair

At Double Glazing Repairs, we know that problems with patio doors can range from minor annoyances to significant issues that impact the security and comfort of your home. Thankfully, many of these issues can be fixed with our expert repair services. Here are some of the common problems we resolve:


Draughts and Energy Inefficiency


One of the most common issues with
patio doors is draughts. If your patio doors are letting in cold air, it could lead to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable living environment. We can seal gaps and repair any issues with weather stripping, ensuring your patio doors are energy-efficient again.


Broken or Sticking Locks


Security is a major concern when it comes to patio doors. A broken lock can make your home vulnerable to intruders. Our team can repair or replace faulty locks, ensuring your patio doors are secure and fully functional.


Damaged Panels and Glass


Whether it's a cracked panel or a shattered glass, damaged panels not only affect the look of your patio doors but can also compromise their effectiveness. We offer window replacement services for patio doors, providing quick and efficient repairs to restore the look and function of your doors.


Worn Hinges and Handles


Over time, the hinges and handles on your
patio doors can become worn out or damaged. This can make the doors difficult to open or close. We can replace or repair these parts to ensure smooth and easy operation.


Faulty Door Mechanism


If your patio doors are hard to slide or fail to lock properly, it could be due to a malfunctioning door mechanism. Our expert team can diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs, bringing your doors back to full working order.



At Double Glazing Doctors, we take pride in offering a mobile service that brings the repair process to you. We provide all parts and labour, with every repair fully guaranteed. Whether you have a minor issue or a more serious problem, we offer a hassle-free solution to fix your patio doors.
