Locksmith Stories 020 - bifold door hinge in walton

---

 A returning customer in Walton-on-Thames (KT12) called to say their bi-fold door had come off its guide and wasn’t feeling secure. 

 On arrival, I found the hinge barely holding on by just 1 mm of frame. The door hadn’t slid out of the hinge — the issue appeared to be an inadequate installation from the very beginning. 

 With the customer’s help in the blazing sun, we held the door steady while I repositioned the hinge in both the door and the frame guide. The hinge was damaged and needed replacing, so I secured it for temporary use while sourcing the correct part. That evening, with help from a locksmith colleague, I identified and sourced an upgraded genuine hinge. Two days later, I returned to fit it, restoring the door to full working order. 

 The upgraded hinge now holds the bi-fold door securely, allowing it to slide smoothly without the risk of coming loose.
