 Locksmith NW11 was called out tonight to a totally seized mechanism. They had managed to turn the key to approximately 10 O'clock but then all has seized up not able to move it in either direction.

Conveniently the mechanism has hook and shoot bolts, making life a little interesting. I was able to spread the door enough to get to the hooks, but no amount of force seemed to be able to push them back.

My only other thought was to snap the lock and see where this took me, but with it being just gone 1am and the chap having the offer of a bed we decided to leave it for now and go back during the day.

It was the key stuck in the 10 O'clock that so no movement either way, also just to clarify the handles can still be lifted but not depressed. Happens a lot with Avocet mechanisms. You will probably find that if you snap out the cylinder it will open easily with the Eva tool.
If an Avocet it will work again afterwards but will not last! As I have found out before. I think it’s something to do with the bolt not travelling all the way.

Yes it was an avocest, pig of a job. Snapped the cylinder, poked about inside a bit, nothing fell out. I could just get to the deadbolt override so pulling back on that with a screwdriver and pushing down on the handle it suddenly opened.

The locksmith NW11 guy stripped it down, worked fine. So screwed back on, but I have a feeling I will be back there. The hole for the gearbox was huge so none of my overnight locks would fit. I've got to look a UPVC door and sliding ally door to look at in a house that's just had subsidence work done on it, should be interesting.

If overnight lock does not fit I’ve used some offcuts of strip that you cut off the mpls screw lock to them screw strip to door all ways keep a few offcuts in van.
You can get avocet overnight locks. Very common fault with avocet, it occurs when deadbolt / key is thrown when mechanism isn’t and it’s only slight.

I used to struggle getting them open but 9 times out of ten now by levering the bottom of the door up and down whilst lifting handle and turning key frees the mechanism up.

I have adjusted keeps ever so slightly afterwards for the customer who doesn’t want new mechanism but always recommend replacing mechanism. Came across a weird lock yesterday and wondered if anyone could shed any light on it.

Customer said they didn’t use their front door because when they turn the handle to open they caught their hand on the lower part of the handle plate.

Locksmith NW11 lad took it apart and found no faults with the lock, the only way to stop this happening was to fit it so that when it is locked the handle is straight up, in line with the edge of the door.
