Metal working - steel doors - help!

[BangkokRobert]

I need any advice you've got on fixing my front door. It's all steel. Has never closed fully. New deadbolt is slowly falling out of the frame. I think I need a guy with metal welding skills to make this door function properly. My house is near MRT Rama 9. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If you want a Thai welder then i can't help you, i only know crappy ones.

If you want to do it yourself then maybe i can help, show us a pic of the problem why the door won't close.Will it close fully without the deabolt? So the dimensions of the door are right within the doorframe? Then it can't be very hard to solve it.

I also have to fix my bedroom door, my wife pushed the button by accident while she left the bedroom (i was abroad). Then she closed the door but she could not get back into the room because it was locked. Amazingly she could saw a hole in the door, fit her hand through it to open it from the inside. Now i have to fix the door haha.

Thanks! I found a welder in the neighborhood (well, I walked 2+ km before finding him). How? I stopped at PVC/metal pipe shops and asked them. One shop keeper walked me down 3 stores to a team of men welding all sorts of stuff.

One drove me home, saw the problem, gave an estimate of 800 to fix it, and came at 09:00 this morning to fix it. Took about 30 min.

Yay!!

Wow that's great! Now let's see how long it lasts.

I also want to rent a good welder, paid 70.000 for a carport of stainless steel but it is leaking/moulding/rotting and only 2 years old.

Same with powder coated steel bars that are under the carport and never get wet, they are rusty now.
