Customer.

We had been experiencing problems with our PVC door when lifting, locking and turning the key. My wife came home from the school run one morning and was unable to open the door (handle was just turning). Called BDL locksmiths and they arrived in 30mins. They opened the door quickly and fitted a new lock. 5* service

In this case, the customer’s door was out of alignment and with using the door in a miss aligned state the gearbox had broken. We gained entry by using a letterbox tool to go through the letterbox. We then stripped the lock and replaced the centre gearbox. It was also necessary to realign the door and the keeps on the door frame as this were the root cause of the problem.

NB

With the majority of lift to lock mechanisms, you should be able to lift the handle let go of it and free turn the key to lock.
