Having problems locking your door?
If you have to lift the handle harder than usual, jiggle the key, or push and pull the door before it locks, don't ignore it. These are often early signs that something isn't working as it should.
Common causes include:
β’ Door has dropped out of alignment
β’ Worn multipoint locking mechanism
β’ Faulty gearbox
β’ Damaged door handles
β’ Worn or failing lock cylinder
Catching the problem early can often prevent a complete lock failure and avoid a more expensive repair later.
