Hey locksmith Sevenoaks what was actually in the door to retain the cylinder? A standard screw or grub type screw. Also, where was the screw when you first tried to take it out and before you have touched anything, where you say it wouldn't come out?
The screw was long standard retaining screw as you get with cylinders but too long, pushed the back out of the mechanism & as a result bent the screw it was in the normal place in face plate. I'm thinking has the grub screw fell into door so they put a screw in a got same problem as me ie they have jammed mechanism. I’ve come along seen the screw in face plate not even thinking it could be retained any other way. Anybody had any experience of the schelgel handles (levers on the outside) Think my customers issue may be the handle mechanism and lock seem fine. Patio door is true. It will only lock from one side. I've stripped it down and it seems that one of the little levers just doesn't engage. I'll add a pic to illustrate the type I'm on about. If they're the ones similar to the Fullex type, that vaguely resemble a little 'music note', then if I remember correctly, the spindle hole (square hole) is 4mm and can 'round' the hole in the lever.
There are some very dodgy plastic ones about that I've come across too! They don't work great, or for long. With these mechanism s, it's usually a case of them getting gunked up somehow, so I just strip them down as much as practical, and give 'em a good GT85ing. Put the spindle back in said the locksmith Sevenoaks guy, and work it and they usually free up. Sometimes the keep needs adjusting too. There is usually a button on the edge of the door frame too, that hits a strike plate when closed, allowing the door to lock. Over time part of the plate can wear away and effectively stops the lever from engaging, so again, that's another area to check. With button on the door frame spindle hole seems fine in the gearbox/mechanism customer is happy to try new handles in the first instance.(they are planning on getting rid of the doors in the next few years. Locked sliding patio door I have just returned from a job and I need some help please. It is a sliding upvc patio door that won’t open. The lock is unlocked, but the lever spindle just turns and does nothing.
Apparently it was working fine before the customer went on holiday, but his neighbour who fed the cats said she had had trouble with the door from day 1. The customer arrived home today and the lock will not undo. Is there a bypass or a hole to be drilled to enable access? The euro fitted is an ABS Avocet. Some old sliding doors will just lift out from outside even when in locked position, is it one of those type? What about this locksmith Sevenoaks, try prising a small gap with spreader and trying to knock rollers/hooks in once it's unlocked with the key like when doing a window with a failed spindle hole? |
