🔧 Another Failed Gearbox — But a Smooth Fix for a Long‑Term Homeowner

Yesterday I was called out to a customer whose back door wouldn’t unlock at all. She’s lived in the property for over 20 years, and the door was fitted before she moved in — so we already suspected age might be a factor.


Once on site, I managed to get the door open safely and found the culprit:

a failed gearbox.


So I carried out a temporary repair to keep the home secure while we ordered in the correct replacement.


Fast‑forward to today — the new gearbox arrived, and I headed back out this afternoon to get everything sorted.


A quick fit, a few adjustments, and the door is now locking and unlocking smoothly again.

Another happy customer, and another reminder that older doors often give you little warning before parts fail.
