🔧 A Tricky Front Door Repair From Last Week – But a Great Result in the End

Last week I was called out to a home where the front door wouldn’t lock at all. Once I opened up the gearbox, the problem became obvious — several internal parts had completely snapped.


It was one of those jobs with a few ups and downs. The priority was keeping the property secure, so I carried out a temporary repair, removing the failed components and getting the door lockable and safe before leaving.


The challenge? The original parts haven’t been made since the early 90s 😒


But we got there. After some digging and liaising with one of my suppliers, we sourced the closest possible match, and the replacement arrived today.


A few careful adjustments to the door and keeps, a new locking strip fitted, and everything is now working smoothly again — and most importantly, a very happy customer.
