Solent Mobile Locksmiths were called called today by a customer in Fareham who couldn’t unlock his patio door.
He said it had been difficult to operate the last few days.
When I arrived I found the door was firmly shut, I managed to get the door open using the key.
The problem was the gearbox had seized and the lock wouldn’t operate properly.
If your doors are starting to stiffen then call a locksmith before it’s too late.
The gearbox can be replaced on most UPVC locking mechanisms so will be cheaper than a whole new multi point system.
If you’re in Fareham and need a locksmith then give us a call and I will be happy to assist.
