Locksmith Barking had one the other day the key would release the latch but not release the hook bolts tried spreading the door and tapped the underneath side of top hook to try to release but still did not work.

Luckily I was able to get access to inside by another door last resort was to grind of hook bolts and lockbolt with a 1mm grinding disc not the norm but the only thing I can think of to get door open done no damage to door and frame renewed locking strip customer happy.

Forgot to mention it was a wooden door and frame I did not want to snap the cylinder as it was on a registered master suite as locking strip knackered i thought it was the quicker and cheaper option.

Locksmith Barking approach would be through the lock case, I would resist grinding the hooks as you normally would be able to get a replacement gearbox. If the lock strip is discontinued you are stuffed.

The only hooks I use the grinder on is the Winkhaus usually fitted to a Manse Masterdor they have faulty hook bolt cases. According to Winkhaus they have cured the problem, still a lot of old locks out there.

All sorted! The method that worked for me in the end was to snap the cylinder, then using a pickwire retract the mechanism. Not sure how to be honest, but it seemed the cylinder cam had thrown the mechanism to far and wasn’t able to retract the bolts after.

Striped down, cleaned, lubed the mechanism (including the ball bearing, yes the one on the top bolt did seem to be locked solid) and replaced the cylinder, job seemed done.

Suggested the client to replace the mechanism but as we couldn't reproduce the problem after putting it all back he decided against it, but as a result of the work done he’s already given me other 3 jobs, happy days.

Just done a Fullex. Latch had come away and jammed between the mechanism and the keep. Nightmare to open the door as glass on both sides. Adjusted the hinges right back and used door spreader but thought the glass would go before the door popped open. Thankfully it didn’t and now new gearbox in and another happy locksmith Barking customer.
