Common Door Won't Open Problems We Help With
Send a short video on WhatsApp showing what the handle and key do when you try the door. It often helps us judge whether the fault is the gearbox, the latch, the cylinder or the door alignment 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.
