Why locksmith problems happen in Blackthorn
Failed gearbox
On uPVC doors the gearbox behind the handle can break, leaving the door locked shut or unable to lock at all.
Swollen timber doors
Wooden doors swell in damp weather, putting strain on mortice locks and latches until the bolt won't throw.
Keys left inside
Doors that lock on the latch or a key left in the inside of the lock are the most common reason people get locked out.
