Locksmith Earls Court started 2 jobs today one was a failed mechanism problem was handles won’t fully lift up so euro lock won’t turn. Whilst door is open you can lift up the bolts by 6mm and everything works properly soon as you let go off handle it snaps down under heavy spring tension unlocking again removed the mechanism  and decided to replace next week.

Its riveted together meanwhile sash jammer as its alarmed and monitored 24hr staff kitchen at care home. Any ideas what’s happened. Once I get it back here I'll open it up to satisfy my curiosity.

2nd job 90 yr old girl came home from visiting hubby in hospital lost keys arrived to find chubb nightlatch and chubb deadlock groan old pvc windows external beads result popped the beads removed unit and retrieved spare keys.

Poor old dear was devastated as she had done this 2 weeks ago and paid out a lot of money to a national I took £20 to pay for a wall keysafe and charged her wait for it nothing It’s not always about money.

Don’t reckon her poor hubby will be coming home so didn’t think she needed any more financial worries It felt good driving home today.

Do you guys at the locksmith Earls Court have any advice on opening a coldseal seized mechanism? The handles don't retract the latch does the bent screwdriver work on a coldseal mechanism to release the hooks, rollers?

Does the deadbolt retract with the latch/handles or is this key operated (the cylinder is unlocked). I can get a new gearbox but am told I will struggle with a full replacement so I don't want to damage the hooks & rollers if possible opening the door.

If it’s only on latch it’s a 2 second job with a flat steel bar. If I recall they do throw the main bolt via keyturn. You can still get replacement mechanisms I use security hardware in Willenhall. Oh just forgot, not sure if its coldseal or mila but there is usually a rivet in the way through the gearbox that makes the screwdriver trick a bit trickier.

Bolt part throws with the handle then throws all the way with the key. Don't think bent screwdriver will work the drive is quite high up, might be wrong though. There is a screw holding the latch that sometimes works loose, leaving the latch stuck in position.

Spreader will pop it open no problem, sometimes spreading won't do it though if the latch screw has come out altogether the latch can fall into the keep at a funny angle and is not connected to the backset anymore, had a few different mechanisms where that has happened.

Only way I've ever done it in that situation is to spread the door and airbag it then drill with a small sharp bit between door and frame through the latch as many holes as you can in a line going from top to bottom so it's very weak then hit it with a bolster chisel to snap it off.

Locksmith Earls Court shop had a few like this, I have spread them been fortunate with enough give. What I have found to be common is getting the gear box out as they tend to explode bits hanging out all over the place.
