If push-comes-to-shove you guys at locksmith Hackney, in that situation, I think I'd remove the door stop, and sort it out that way. Probably less destructive in the long run, and certainly quicker than drilling an Ingersoll.
My first question was have been is this the right key? 2nd has this lock been deadlocked, It was the right key that had just been given to the mother of the owner that morning and she said she had checked it, secondly as the owner was away they couldn't be contacted but yes I think they had deadlocked it. The lock had failed as I got into the property and stood on the inside of the door and the handle would not move, the little switch on the side was solid, the whole thing was solid. One of my earliest out of hours locksmith emergency opening jobs (one winter) was to open a faulty SC71 on a front door. The tail had separated from the Mazac bolthead, so the key turned uselessly, and likewise, the handle pulled up without effect. The house back door was open, but the front door would not, though I had access to both sides. I spread the doorframe a little with a hydraulic car jack and blocks of wood - cranking the jack too enthusiastically! I stopped when I heard the glass beside the door creaking; had it been a sheet of glass it would have gone, but fortunately being a leaded light it creaked and protested, but flexed without any breaking.
I was then able to jam the point of a gimlet into the Mazac bolt and gradually ease it back, as it was 'unlocked'. Had I had to do that from outside, it could have been done through a small hole in the door stop. That is, in fact, how Georgian/Victorian burglars sometimes opened latches, and what prompted Chubb to invent the 'combination latch' in 1828. Such latches are still to be seen, even sometimes in service, on doors around the locksmith Hackney area of London dating mainly from the housing boom of the late 1900s up to the beginning of the Great War. Although the combination latch remained on sale until 1939, after WW1 it lost market share to cylinder rim latches. I fit a lot of small cylinders on patio doors (iseo from sks) any cheaper alternatives better security, what do you guys use to clean white upvc windows & doors always seem to get me prints on them.
I just use a little WD40 on a rag to clean off my finger marks. Seems to work ok or try the spray glass cleaner, windowlene? etc., it gets rid of grease etc. I use ever build wonder wipes they get everything off every time. I use GT85, while I'm cleaning any fingermarks off the UPVC I give the mech a quick lube. I've only got the spray upvc cleaner and it is good, takes mucky prints off wood too and all are for sale at the City locksmith Hackney shop. |
