I went to a property where the customer was having difficulty opening the front door .I arrived to find the top roller was not coming out the keep unless you slammed the handle down hard .I took down measurements of the lock i advised the customer of the price and he agreed to have it replaced . I returned with the new lock fitted it made a few adjustment now the customer can open the door no problems
I was asked by a customer to have a look at a composite door because the door had to be locked all the time otherwise anyone could walk in.I removed the handles to check the mechanism to see if there lock had a centre case which would allow the door to be shut and the the outside handle would not open the door. The centre case had 2 spindle holes so all it needed was new handles, i took some measurements contacted the supplier. Rang the customer gave them a price,they wanted the job done.i ordeered the handles and when they arrived i fitted them whilst i was there i advised they had a thumb turn cylinder fitted so the could lock the door and not run the risk of being locked out because they left the key on the inside
