Well spotted on the door adjustment locksmith Erith, most people would just adjust the keeps without sighting the door.
Had a weird problem today on a new style GU/Ferco using a plastic gearbox. I will be honest I thought the woman was bonkers at first after I did all the usual tests which showed it working fine then she showed me! Basically when fully locked if you rocked the handle up and down it would completely unlock. Question I can only think the plastic case bends and allows something inside to slip. First time I have seen a plastic backed one and probably why they stopped producing them. Had exact same problem yesterday - first time ever I have had to change a new GU gearbox. Sure enough, bit of a jiggle and it unlocked. However i noticed that the two lower roller keeps had marks on the bottom of the channel suggesting that the rollers were bottoming out and that the tenants had to strain handle up (slightly lifting door of course) to allow key to turn. I guess that after months/years of gradual strain something internal wore out or gave way. Sounds about right. I adjusted door and keeps only for her to come along and wrench it open. Seems like a real flaw though!
I will do an autopsy later. Not just on plastic, this is the only fault we at the locksmith Erith have ever seen twice on the new GU gearbox. The actual blocking element thrown by the cylinder cam is only held in place with a shitty plastic dimple. It is supposed to lock into that steel connecting bar as well but it is really sloppy and plenty of wiggling room. Doesn't take much to nudge the blocking element over enough to force the final bit. If your cam isn't fully throwing that element, it may not even fully lock into place. Never seen a new gu case with plastic back before (except those 28/70 ones) The one I had fail yesterday is similar internally but metal back with a plastic cam dimple slider thing. I didn't want to dismantle my new one. Seems a bad idea having a bit of plastic doing such an important job. Supplier said they'd never seen one this size either.
This happens to winkhaus when they are really worn, the piece doesn’t go in as far as in the gu picture above. Moving the handle up and down vibrates it out of place and it opens! Has anybody got any tips when a window mechanism has failed and window is shut very tight? I only seem to manage open 50% by air wedge or slightly prizing open and hitting the bolts. Is there any other easier way without taking glass out? Have used a spring steel wire with bend in it at both ends, one to catch mechanism and one to pull on. Position of mushroom or whatever mechanism employs can usually be found by looking at an adjacent window. On top hung push wire vertically downwards rotate 90 degrees so wire will catch roller/mushroom lower the pull end of the wire and pull, job done locksmith Erith. |
