Locksmith Wembley took a Maco 30mm gear box out from a customer’s door because it was sticking. It has been put back in for now working better. I have tried to find one if she wants it replaced soon but no joy.
Does anyone know how to get one if needed or even just a latch from a 28mm that will ease some of the problem. I usually just upgrade them to a fuhr, kings do a 28mm (old) centre gearbox it is the old style, same as the 28mm which is available all over. Went to a `locked door` on a UPVC door, key turned but when pressing down on the handle would only go to the horizontal position and no lower. Tried to spread the door but the bolt stopped me from opening the door. Bolt protruded more than I expected. By sheer luck I noticed on the frame a latch at the top and bottom of the frame opened these and the door and side frame also moved result door opened. Now to find the fault, removed all the full mechanism and found the result of why it wasn't working. Somehow part of the broken lock was coming out of the case and jamming the handle from going all the way down.
A common failure on these locks and caused by excessive force being applied to lock. The door should have been adjusted when it first started getting hard to lock. Glad that they don't do that though as this is what makes us the pennies. The way to open these according to the guys at the locksmith Wembley is to push down on the handles really firmly - eventually the broken bit gets forced out of that slot and the handle goes down to retract the latch etc (make sure it is unlocked first of course) on 45mm ones I have on occasion (as a temp measure) Hacksawed just above that slot, prised back the bit of casing and extracted the broken bit. Lock still functions as normal apart from no spring pressure. You can do that with all backset versions if you are stuck for a temp replacement. Some customers have even left it like that! Get a load of these down here, as said in other post, push handle down firmly, door open, one of the easier ones. Absolutely right with forcing the handle down.
It can be a bit of a pain as you force the handle, but it works tip toes then body weight is usually enough. Can't make it any worse anyway! Assuming I can get to both sides of the door, I remove the customer’s handles and temporarily put some old handles on. Then I remove the rubber 'grip' from a spreader plate handle, and slide the open end of the pipe from the spreader over the door handle. Then push down and the door opens. Dead easy. So carry some old handles with you lads. Will it work on other upvc locks? No, only works on the old style gu locks. Locksmith Wembley have only had this work with the old style gu because of the way almost all of them break. most others take other methods to get in. |
