Door Latch Repair in Singapore

Door latch repair starts from $60 at SG QuickFix. A door that won't stay shut, a latch that sticks, or a latch that misses the strike plate is usually fixed in 30 to 45 minutes by realigning the strike plate, freeing the latch or re-fixing the door. A latch that is broken inside is replaced, with the part charged separately.

Task guide

When this may be needed

  • The door swings open on its own or won't stay closed.
  • You have to slam the door to make it catch.
  • The latch tongue sticks in and doesn't spring out.
  • The latch scrapes the strike plate instead of clicking into it.
  • The door rattles in the frame when it is closed.

What the team does

The technician first checks why the latch misses. If the door has dropped, the hinges are re-fixed before anything else. If the strike plate is in the wrong place, it is moved or its opening is filed so the latch catches cleanly. A sticky latch is cleaned and lubricated. A latch that is broken inside is replaced with a matching one. The door is then closed several times to confirm it catches with light pressure and doesn't rattle.

Included in this price

  • Diagnosis of the latch, strike plate and door alignment
  • Strike plate realignment or adjustment
  • Cleaning and lubricating the latch
  • Testing the close from different speeds

Limits & price factors

A replacement latch or lock body is charged as a part. Locks that need replacing are covered under Lock Replacement, and a dropped door may need the hinge work described under Door alignment.

The starting price covers the diagnosis and adjustment on one door. Moving the strike plate on a metal frame or a fire door, or replacing a mortise latch, takes longer. The price is confirmed before any part is fitted.
