The call
A Takapuna homeowner's sliding door handle had cracked and the latch only caught if you lifted the door just right. On a sliding door that's more than annoying — it's the difference between locked and not locked.
Sliding doors take a beating in Auckland's coastal suburbs; salt air and daily use wear the handle and latch mechanism out together.
What we installed
We fitted a new sliding door handle set with an integrated lock, matched to the existing door profile so no new holes were needed. The latch was set to engage cleanly without lifting the door.
The door now slides, latches and locks the way it should — and there's a proper key lock on it for the first time in years.
The lesson
A sliding door that needs lifting to latch isn't secure, even when it feels locked. If you're fighting the handle, the mechanism is telling you something.
