Winchmore Hill locksmith were alled to a job today the key seemed fine in cylinder but the multipoint was not unlocking. I removed the handle and snapped the cylinder. The gearbox of multipoint is buggered, just won't unlock?
How do I retract the bolts and open the door? It's a modern timber door with very heavy hinges. Do you know what MPL it is? KFV , two pins dead bolt and latch, they are using the back door tonight. I'm sure you have tried your euro tool and a screwdriver bent 90 degrees to force the mechanism open. As there are no mushroom cams or rollers you can't knock them up or down to force it open, the only thing I can think of is to use a 1 mm angle grinder down the gap on the door to cut the pins and latch. I'm sure someone on here with more experience has a better idea though. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Try taking off handles, flood with gt 85 / wd40 use vice grips on spindle and force down. Most wooden doors in Ireland have gu ferco mpls fitted, some with dead bolt 10 inches below latch , some no dead bolt munster joinery lock If you have exact replacement.
Open gearbox and find best place to drill with hole saw to retract bolt/ rollers etc. Very hard to spread wooden doors like these, according to the guys over at the Winchmore Hill locksmith workshop. I had a similar problem once and what worked for me was as previously said, a lot of GT85, bent screwdriver to reach the mechanism then a lot of pressure applied to screw driver and I was also able to get to the to the slot about 2 cm above the cylinder, where the deadbolt is retracted and apply pressure there too. To give you an idea of the amount of pressure, I initially tried my multitool with grips and bent the bugger. Thanks a million for the advice, I'm picking up replacement MPL this morning, we will see what happens. I'll post the outcome. Didn’t need the grinder in the end. The MPL seemed to be unlocking by the cam no problem so I removed the handle, put a spare spindle in the case and put a vice grips on it.
It took a lot of pressure but thankfully the door just popped open, result. Another confidence lesson. Could be loose pin hinges knock them out door comes off. Not teaching to suck eggs but never attempt to retract locking points if the mechanism is still deadlocked. A bent wire will usually unlock the case when the cylinder cam or a cam turner won’t do it. Many gearboxes are slotted to help you unlock in these circumstances. If anyone in the Winchmore Hill locksmith store has a Holy Grail opening technique for mila/coldseal I would be interested. Last few I have had to drill a square hole and fish out all the shrapnel before they budge. |
