Handle won't move
A seized mechanism or locking point under pressure can stop normal handle movement.
STUCK OR LOCKED SHUT?
Specialist help with UPVC and composite doors that are stuck, jammed shut or no longer unlocking correctly around Cambridge and surrounding areas.
A jammed door can have several causes, so diagnosis matters. A failed centre gearbox, damaged multipoint mechanism, cylinder fault or a badly misaligned door can all produce similar symptoms.
A seized mechanism or locking point under pressure can stop normal handle movement.
The cylinder may operate while a fault elsewhere in the locking mechanism prevents the door releasing.
A component inside the gearbox or multipoint strip may have failed while the door was locked.
UPVC locking systems contain several interacting components. Identifying which part has failed helps avoid unnecessary replacement of the complete door or unrelated hardware.
The UPVC Locksmith covers Landbeach, Cambridge and surrounding locations within the service area.
