Blocked Door Opening in Algueirão-Mem Martins

About our service in Algueirão-Mem Martins

The calls divide neatly. There are the accidents, where nothing is broken and a door has simply closed on a household that had gone out to hang washing or take a child down to the car. There are the failures, where a lock has been declining quietly for a season: harder to turn each month, needing a lift or a push, and then one day refusing, sometimes taking a worn key with it. And there are the doors that have moved, because a leaf that has settled in its frame over the years can bind so that the bolt no longer lines up, especially on the ground floor and in damp weather. In every one of those cases, forcing the door makes things worse rather than faster. The leaf is usually stronger than the frame, so the frame is what gives, and putting a frame right is carpentry rather than a quick visit. A key that is bending is about to break, so stop turning it. Anything you slide into the gap will scratch, bend or jam something. Send us a message and wait. Our technician looks at the door before touching it, explains what should happen and what it will cost, and works only once you agree. In many cases the door opens and the lock carries on as before. If a child has come home from school and shut themselves in, or an elderly relative cannot reach the door, tell us in the first message and we will move you up the list. Whoever calls, we ask to see that the home is theirs before we open it: identification with the address, a tenancy agreement, a bill in your name, or confirmation from the building administrator. It is a short conversation and it is what stops your door being opened for someone else. Cost follows the type of lock, the condition of the cylinder, whether it has to be replaced, the floor and the way in, and it is agreed first. A call as Saturday ends may mean a Monday morning visit, and we will tell you.
