  • The handle is floppy or drops
  • The door is stuck locked and won't open

How we solve it

Your locksmith will identify the make of mechanism and check whether the problem is the gearbox, cylinder, handle or alignment. Faulty parts are replaced with compatible ones. If the door has dropped, it's realigned so the new parts don't wear out too.
