Today i was called to property where the customer was having difficulty locking the front door.After checking the door i noticed most of the keeps where loose or out of line. I adjusted them to where they should be and lubricated the mechanism it also came to my attention that the cylinder was clicking and stopping when you turned the key .I informed the customer and fitted a new cylinder
I was called to a property in Chafford Hundred where the owner had seen videos on you tube about swapping cylinders on upvc doors,I had a look at the rear doors and the french doors on the property and the cylinders did protrude a bit out of the handle.I advised the owner to have ABS anti snap british standard cylinders fitted.These are very good cylinders with lots of security benefits to deter a thief. The owner was imprest with the cylinders and had them fitted giving him peace of mind.
Today I was called to a door that was only a year old was not double locking. I checked to make sure nothing was getting in the way. I then removed 1 keep at a time to resolve the problem 1 minute it was OK then it play up again. I then checked the hinges to find that the screws on the lower hinge had worked loose allowing the door to move to a different position each time it was closed. I tightened them up in the correct position and all was good.
