Why stairs replace the door

  • Rot or forced entry

    Rot at the foot of the door, or damage from forced entry that a repair will not hold.

  • It will not close

    A split or warped door that will not shut, so the stair is left open.

  • An odd-sized doorway

    Tenement doorways are rarely square. A door made to the opening hangs straight.

Each door comes with its lock, a closer, a kick plate and the door entry lock release, new or refitted.

  • We rang Power Lock & Security when we discovered that we had lost both keys for our summerhouse. Their communications were excellent. They arrived at the agreed time and within 15 minutes the door had been opened the lock changed, and we were presented with 5 keys. If you want speedy service and quality work, look no further.

  • I absolutely recommend Power Lock & Security. Liam provided a great service, took the time and extra care to make sure our new door buzzer worked properly whilst ensuring we were happy with the buzzer and handset speaker volume at both ends. 5 stars!

  • We've had Liam out twice now. Both times were almost emergencies. He was prompt, efficient, and very reasonably priced. The second visit was ongoing issues with two different doors, which he diagnosed and sorted in no time at all! Highly recommend

  • We used Power Lock & Security to install a new buzzer system and individual in-flat handsets in our block. Liam was exceptional, providing clear and impartial insights pre-project, keeping us updated throughout the installation process and going above and beyond to meet tight deadlines. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for locksmith services.

  • Liam installed a complete new video door entry system for our building, together with new door furniture for the front door. From start to finish, nothing was too much bother for Liam. We couldn’t be more pleased with his service and professionalism. This was a large job and all work was completed to an excellent standard. Highly recommend.

FAQs

Common questions

Need help now? Phone 0131 358 9585.

Will the new door work with our door entry system?

Yes. We fit the existing lock release to the new door, or a new one if the old release is worn, and test it from the flats.

What style of door can you supply?

The doors in our work photos are six-panel timber doors, a common style for Edinburgh stairs. Tell us if your stair needs something different.

Can the old door be repaired instead?

Sometimes. A loose lock, a worn closer or a dropped hinge can be fixed. Rot, splits and repeated forced-entry damage usually mean a new door.

Stair door past repair?

Phone us and we will arrange to measure the doorway.
