Key turns but door doesn't open?
In this instance the key will turn as if the door is unlocked but then handle won't engage to release the door mechanism. This is a common fault we find on doors that have been fitted incorrectly or over time has become hard to use. Common on uPVC doors due to misalignment. Upon Opening the door, we will check for any broken parts and service the door. If no parents are required, we can fully align the door to prevent this scenario happening again.
