Glass Door and Sliding Door Locks: Opening and Replacement
Frameless glass doors at offices and shops, and sliding doors at home, use their own kinds of locks. Uncle Thomas opens them when they're stuck and replaces them when they fail.

- Price agreed first
- No-expiry warranty
The short answer: WhatsApp 9224 9224 a photo of the lock and the door. We'll tell you how we'd open or replace it and the price before we come. Every replacement lock comes with our no-expiry warranty.
Glass door locks
Frameless glass doors at offices, shops and clinics usually lock in one of these ways:
- Patch locks clamped to the bottom or top corner of the glass, locking into the floor or frame.
- Locks in the door rail on framed glass doors.
- Locking handles on double glass doors, which tie the two handles together.
Common problems are a lost key, a staff member leaving with one, a key that won't turn, or a bolt that no longer lines up after the door has shifted. We open the door, and replace the lock if it's worn or the keys can't be accounted for.
Sliding door locks
Sliding doors to balconies, patios and shop fronts use hook locks and latches built into the frame. Over time they stop catching, the key stops turning, or the door locks and won't release. We open stuck sliding doors and replace the lock or latch.
Why replace, not repair
We don't repair locks. A worn glass door or sliding door lock is replaced with a new one, so the problem doesn't come back, with our no-expiry warranty.
For businesses
We work 24/7 so you can open on time, confirm authorisation from the business first, and issue invoices. See commercial locksmith.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you change the lock on a glass office door?
Yes. We replace glass door patch locks, rail locks and locking handles, after confirming authorisation from the business.
My sliding door won't lock any more. Can you fix it?
We replace worn sliding door locks and latches rather than repair them, with our no-expiry warranty.
We lost the key to our glass shop door. Can you open it?
Yes, 24/7. We open it and can replace the lock so the lost key no longer works.
How much does a glass door lock replacement cost?
It depends on the lock type. WhatsApp a photo of the lock and door to 9224 9224 for a price before we come.
