๐จ DONโT WAIT UNTIL YOUR LOCK FAILS! ๐จ
A customer called me today because his front door lock had gone into lockdown mode.
He had an Ultion 3-star lock, one of the top-rated locks you can have. Unfortunately, even the best lock wonโt save you if the mechanism underneath is struggling.
He kindly offered me a cup of tea while I got to work โ๏ธ.
By the time the tea was made, Iโd already bypassed the lock and fitted a brand-new one! ๐
He couldnโt believe how quickly it was sorted.
But hereโs the important bitโฆ
After working on a couple of other door mechanisms today, I asked my customers the same question:
โWas your door getting harder to lock before the mechanism broke?โ
And guess what?
YES! Every time.
Thatโs the warning sign people often ignore.
If youโre having to lift the handle harder than usual, or push, pull or jiggle it to get your door locked, donโt wait for it to completely fail.
In many cases, the problem can be as simple as a little realignment, potentially saving you the inconvenience of a broken mechanism and being unable to secure your home.
๐ If your door is getting harder to lock, give me a call before it breaks.
A small problem today could save you a much bigger headache tomorrow! ๐
