Locksmith Dorking had a Customer with a seized espag last year. She told me she'd had three people round to get it open, and none could, and could I? Took about 1min with an airbag. Just popped open.

The Souber wire lever picks are good for opening broken window mechanisms with roller or mushroom bolts. Ordered the vario flex from interlocks but they came back to me to say the batch of stock was faulty and it’s going to be about 3 - 4 weeks to get replacements.

I think I’ve come across every single failure possible and it’s impossible to give a definitive approach to unlocking anything. First thing is to get a rough diagnosis.

Spinning handle usually means the spindle or something connected from it is broken. From there id remove the cylinder then manipulate from inside, failing that it’s a spreading job, which can be awkward if there’s hooks involved.

If handle works but only unlocks only half the door it’s usually due to loose connecting rods or broken connections.

Same method really but sometimes nothing is broken its just come loose from all the slamming. Then you will find all sorts of variations of jamming mechanisms from rollers that have managed to end up on the wrong side of the keep or broken cast parts falling off and jamming up the mechanisms.

Always take the handle off first if possible, if it’s a millenco you can just use the secondary spindle hole to unlock and you can actually get away with just swapping them over for a quick repair providing the handles both use the same one and are not offset.

Then locksmith Dorking there are the ones that you manage to open and can’t actually work out what was wrong. When spreading I use a strong flat steel bar to prise open door from frame, it looks brutal but as long as it’s a flat instrument it won’t damage the plastic. I then insert softwood wedges either side of the hook and remove the bar.

You can then use various tools and airbag to either retract the hook or poke it out of the keep. Repeat for all and be careful not to through the door when the last one releases. I've just moved into my first house of my own after leaving the military, and need some advice about adjusting the mechanism on my upvc door. I have to really lift the handle in order to be able to lock/unlock my door.

My other door same type, same lock unlocks/locks really smoothly. Can anyone advice on where to start the adjustment please? It might be easy enough if you have any adjustment on the hinges, or it could need toe & healing, I’m sure the lads on here who know more than me will see you ok.

Loads of ways to do it, but it all comes with experience really. Most of my work is sorting out UPVc Mechanisms. Easiest way is to remove one of the keeps on the door frame, then close the door and try it. If it's no better, put it back and remove another until you work out which keep is the one preventing the door working correctly.

Once you know which one it is, then adjust it using the cams on the keep, or whatever it has. You may notice wear marks on the keep too. This will be a big clue sometimes locksmith Dorking, but not always.
