raymondo1952   11 #14 Posted January 14, 2013 Hi I am having trouble with 2 out of 3 doors locking.  They are all UPVC with (I think) a 5 way locking system.  It seems as though on one, the lock wont turn and the other one of the locks keeps getting stuck.  Can anyone recommend a 'lock expert' or could I have some quotes?  I am in th Gleadless area of Sheffield.  Regards  try cheapest things first/ altering hinges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
locksmiths1   10 #15 Posted January 14, 2013 It sounds like one door needs some adjustment. And the other has an internal fault with the gearbox.  Happy to have a look free of charge. Although not free till Wednesday  Many thanks Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hotrock   10 #20 Posted January 15, 2013 Many thanks for the recommendation  Andy  Credit where credit is due, good sound advice, told me the truth, did not try to sell me over priced crap locks (others have tried), good friendly service/attitude, a refreshing change, in my opinion many business's could learn a lot from you, as a lot of business's look at jobs as an excuse to lever as much money out of the job as possible, they seem to forget that a heck of a lot of business can be gained through good recommendation's/word of mouth alone, rather than a quick buck today and see what tomorrow brings attitude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
