Common Door Won't Open Problems We Help With
Send a photo on WhatsApp if you are unsure what has failed. In many cases we can advise whether it is likely to be a cylinder, gearbox, alignment or mechanism issue before attending.
Common Reasons a Door Won't Open
A door that will not open usually comes down to one of a small number of causes: a worn or failed gearbox inside a uPVC door (the most common cause we see), the keep or strike plate shifting slightly out of alignment as a door settles over time, a swollen door frame in wet weather catching on the door, a faulty cylinder, or a dropped hinge putting the door out of true.
Each of these has a different fix, and most do not need the whole door or lock replacing — diagnosing the actual cause first means you only pay for the part that is genuinely faulty.
We recently attended a property in Murton, part of our Seaham coverage area, where a failed gearbox meant the door would not open at all — it was replaced and tested working correctly.
