A homeowner in Kimberworth, Rotherham, contacted SF Locksmiths about poorly fitted rear French doors. The doors were letting cold draughts into the property.
The doors did not pull tightly against their frames, leaving noticeable air gaps. Fortunately, we could repair them without replacing the doors or their existing locking mechanisms.
A simple, affordable repair using sash jammers
After inspecting the French doors, we fitted Fab&Fix sash jammers at the top and bottom. These catches pulled the doors tighter against their seals.
Sash jammers provide extra compression where needed. This helps reduce draughts without the cost of replacing working locking mechanisms.
We use quality hardware from Fab&Fix, part of ERA.
Not every draughty French door needs expensive replacement parts. Sometimes a straightforward repair using sash jammers can make a considerable difference.

Can sash jammers stop draughts through French doors?
Yes, correctly fitted sash jammers can help when doors do not press firmly enough against their seals. However, badly misaligned doors may need adjustment, while damaged seals may need replacing.
