Yes locksmith Charlton spread the door and airbag then try to tap down/up the bolts and you could even use a cam turner at the same time.

Thanks I did try the winder mechanism option but the key would only do 1 360 turn then stopped and there was just no play in the handle when in the unlocked position, so on reflection it could have been that the cam was not engaging the lock properly. But without removing the cylinder i could not really tell.

Different locks have different problems, if the key turns 360 degrees the bottom half of the lock is ok.

When the handles do not operate the hooks or push down the problem is usually that the spring housing has burst and is coming out the back of the lock casing rather than sliding down inside the lock case, sometimes brute force on the handles work, if that does not work I drill the lock case and manipulate it from the inside.

 The ones where the key won`t turn I drill the lock case, there is usually a broken part jamming the bolt from fully retracting, sometimes the euro has to be snapped.

It is difficult if you have no experience, if you walk away every time you will never learn, after all the lock is broken. Overnight lock are easy to make up from old mpl`s.

Sorry, I always make that mistake on the forum, so snap. Or drill for the retaining screw and carry on as I said. Like said you can look at the hinges, and either remove or adjust the door to pull it right up to the hanging side then spread it.

Did you try tapping the bolt in both directions locksmith Charlton ie up & down & then top & bottom of the door it’s just I had 1 where hook bolt at top would not budge but bottom moved the hook & rollers which meant just had to spread the top a little more to pop the hook

Lots of creeks & groans but as Finn said you'll be surprised at the amount they move, just take your time, spread a little, adjust airbag, spread, adjust airbag spread, I always use 2 airbags to balance the load, as for snapping the euro most customers just want the door fixed, that's what you’re doing, working through possible faults, hope this helps.

Sounds like the spring has burst through the back of the case. Snap/drill out the cylinder, hook out all the bits. Using a metal cam turner tool and possibly mole grips, using brute force open the lock.

The mpl will now need to be replaced. If you do mark the upvc or dint slightly while using spreaders a heat gun held away from the upvc softeners it and it will return to its original form try it but don’t put the heat gun to close you will be surprised what dints it can get out if you are unfortunate to make them.

Sometimes a lot of force pushing down on the handles will open it (assuming the Follower is intact). If the gearbox is shot, or you suspect it to be, then you really have nothing to lose. At the end of the day locksmith Charlton, the door needs opening. I usually remove the cylinder after about 5mins.
