Over time doors can drop causing them to catch at the bottom. This can also mean that the locking mechanism no longer aligns with the keeps in the frame. You may notice the door is harder to lock and you have to force the handle up in order to lock the door. In the majority of cases this can be easily remedied by realigning the door with adjustment to the hinges. If this is left unrepaired it can result in the lock failing completely, which is more costly in the long run. In cases where the lock has broken completely we can get the door open and replace the entire lock.

There are several types of glass, including:Soda-lime glass: This is the most common type of glass, used in items such as windows, bottles, and jars. Borosilicate glass: This type of glass is known for its resistance to thermal expansion and is often used in laboratory equipment and cookware. Tempered glass: This type of glass is heated to a high temperature and then cooled quickly, making it stronger and more durable than regular glass. It is often used in safety applications such as car windows and shower doors. Laminated glass: This type of glass is made by sandwiching a layer of plastic between two layers of glass. It is commonly used in car windows and as a safety feature in buildings. Low-E glass: This type of glass has a special coating that reflects heat and blocks UV rays, making it more energy-efficient. Photovoltaic glass: This type of glass is used in solar panels and allows sunlight to pass through while also generating electricity.

Plate glass is a type of glass that is made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin.

Plate glass is also known as float glass.
