🔧 Gearbox Failure Midweek — Fixed & Back to Smooth Operation


Midweek I headed out to a property with my little helper — my eldest came along for this one and loved getting stuck in.


The customer’s door wasn’t unlocking at all, and once we removed the cylinder it became clear what had happened. The external spindle port on the dual‑spindle gearbox had completely broken, with parts literally falling out as soon as the cylinder was removed.


We made the property safe and secure straight away and ordered the correct replacement part.


On Friday, once the new centre gearbox arrived, we popped back out to fit it. A quick swap, a few adjustments, and the door is now working nice and smooth again.


Another local job sorted — and another proud moment having my eldest by my side.
