Hanging and adjustment, rubbing doors, hinge issues, damaged timber, flush bolts and everyday frame repairs.
Door, lock and gate repairs that close properly.
Practical repairs and careful adjustments for sticking doors, tired hardware, damaged timber and gates that no longer line up.
Carpentry-led repairs
Fix the fit, not just the symptom.
Coastal weather, movement and everyday use can leave a door rubbing, a latch missing its strike or a timber gate sagging out of square.
HandMate checks the alignment, hinges, surrounding timber and hardware before recommending a repair. That may mean a straightforward adjustment, replacing worn standard hardware, repairing a damaged jamb or making good the timber around the problem.
The goal is a door or gate that opens cleanly, closes securely and suits the way the property is used.
Suitable jobs
What HandMate can help with.
Repairs are assessed around the existing door, frame, gate and hardware so the proposed fix makes sense as a whole.
Replacement of suitable standard handles, latches, locks, hinges and door hardware where specialist locksmith work is not required.
Alignment, hinges, latches, palings and practical timber repairs for gates that drag, sag or no longer latch reliably.
Please include
- One photo showing the full door, frame or gate
- Close-ups of the hinges, latch, strike and damaged area
- A short note explaining where it rubs, sticks or fails to latch
- Your suburb and whether the property is a home, rental, strata or business
- Any measurements or hardware you have already purchased
Specialist work: emergency lockouts, restricted-key systems, electronic access control and jobs requiring specialist locksmith equipment are referred to the appropriate provider.
