A handyman had been asked to paint this door.
Unfortunately he painted everything but the handles. The locking mechanism and hinges were coated in thick grey paint and the owner had tried to remove it with paint stripper which turned some of the paint gloopy and jelly-like which then got into the locking mechanism and jammed it up.
To add to that, the door was warped and bowed to a shallow C-shape.
I adjusted the door and replaced the mechanism and it's now usable/lockable again.
