Went to a job today , a woman locked her door pvc French door and then she press the handle down and it opens.

 I locked door and press down on handles and it remains locked, but she swears that after locking door she has returned to find door unlocked and that she has all 3 keys.

It’s on a roto mpl the straight gear box type. the door is very badly manufactured. Could movement expansion from the sun it’s a south facing door force the door to unlock. I changed the cylinder and will see how she gets on, roto gearbox £40 plus vat don't want to change if for no reason.

On the euro that you removed, stick in a vice so that cam won't turn and try turning key. I have come across in the past euros's with slipping cams but intermittent slipping. Hopefully new cylinder will do the trick. Where do you get your stock from, did you ever use mila.

I use, SKS, Alderidge, Duffells, Brissant, one local window company supplies me ISEO cheap as they bulk buy in at £2 a euro I generally don't risk quality by using local suppliers for cheap stock etc as they become dear if you have to return to a faulty product.

I have a thumb turn on my door and when my kids have locked the door they have turned the key once and not checked it's locked. Sometimes with the thumb turns they have to be turned twice to lock. Maybe not the problem but it can also happen on some locks if the tip of the key is worn and the door is not checked to see if it did lock.

You might also find that it is wear in the gearbox. I have experienced and on Roto the very same thing and the customer felt embarrassed to have bothered me until after feeling the operation was a little stiff and wondering if the bolt had any signs of binding.

I touched it and it flew back inside the gearbox. I thought that maybe I hadn't turned the euro to lock the mpl off and tried again. Same thing happened.
 
I think the problem was that the cam would ride in the gearbox, even if the bolt stopped through binding, due to wear. Therefore, if the customer didn't check the handle for lock off, then it could remain unlocked.

Of course there is a remote chance that someone could also spread the door and drive the bolt back anyway, allowing the handle to do the rest!

Sometimes it is better just to replace for new less hassle the customer, the customer is confident in your work because if you repair and have to go back reputation is at stake.

Customer rang me back the new cylinder is also being opened, will change gearbox and see what happens. As door expands in the sun it’s probably pushing bolt back.

Question for you boys up there in the locksmith Wallington store can you unlock the door when it is out of the frame?
