Locksmith West Drayton got to the lock and said it was stiff. So snapped it, and still struggled to throw the latch, then played with the door a bit, ie lifted it up and down and it opened.

After some general investigation, it was just some minor adjustments needed on the door frame. It seemed as if the lock or the door itself had just fallen down slightly.

Anyway I adjusted the frame and fitted a new lock, of which I felt very bad for charging the customer and it seemed to be ok. I sprayed some wd40 in the working parts and said to give me a call if happened again. So far no calls so I guess it’s still ok.

It is very common for UPVC doors to drop a bit over time, usually there is enough adjustment in the hinges or keeps can be moved down slightly, first option is better but sometimes not possible.

Wouldn’t worry about it, as long as you feel you charged a fair price for the new lock and the customer was happy then jobs a good un, most would have snapped the cylinder in this case I think.

The customer would not have a clue what you are doing, I used to explain what I was doing, the customers said I don’t know what you are talking about so now it is  take that and that’s the amount. The majority of customers just want their doors working.

Job well done locksmith West Drayton but wouldn’t use wd40 on mechanism as it dries the mechanism up, would use 3 in 1 oil as its oil in won’t lose its lubrication as easy.

I find many of the UPVC mpl problems are due to doors/frames not aligning and glass not toe and heeled correctly when fitted, latch keeps moving, swelling of the doors in heat.
Customers are usually just happy to have their door working again whatever the problem. My most common call is slipped cylinder cam.

Must admit if the cylinder seems ok and a bit of manipulation doesn’t work I have gone straight to the spreader bars on a seized mechanism and not tried the override first. Will try override prior to spreading next time as it is a bit less risky.

If you are inside and remove the handles you can sometimes see if the cylinder cam is working through the cylinder housing on the lock case before snapping.

I have the same Problem Job on Wednesday this week. The key won’t turn at all, I was told the key turned a little until her Son tried to fix it, NOW Nothing. A few weeks ago When I snapped a Euro the Mechanism would not move, tried multi tool, wire, other tools but it was well jammed.

In the end the locksmith West Drayton guy managed to get a gap & the Angle grinder came out. Is there a way around this? Always prefer ND Entry.
