Hi everyone,
I have Google'd this NG for an answer to my problem, but nothing was aparent.
Rightie-ho, we have a uPVC front door with a standard 5 point mortice lock. Lately the handle was difficult to move, mainly on the inside of the door, but lately this has been *very* temperamental to move to allow us to open the door. We have a similar problem with the outside handle but not as severe. I'm worried that one day it simply won't operate at all and we'll be stuck outside.
Typically, the company we used to fit the door a few years back have recently gone out of business - after going for 18 years, so hardly a flash in the pan company.
Now, are these relatively simple things whereby a numptie like me could unscrew the handle on the inside and see what's come loose - as I suspect has happened - or is it not worth mucking about with, and just call a Locksmith to sort it?
Many thanks in advance.
