Blocked Door Opening in Amadora

About our service in Amadora

Most of what fails here fails slowly. A lock fitted when the block was finished has turned tens of thousands of times, and the wear shows first as a key that needs a particular angle, then as one that needs real effort, and finally as one that turns and does nothing, or breaks. Keys copied from copies over the years hasten it. Beyond that, the everyday accident accounts for a large share of our calls: a door pulled shut by a draught while somebody is on the landing or down at the letterboxes. Rear and service doors that see little use sometimes seize solid without anyone noticing until they are needed. The thing we most want you to avoid is trying to force it. It is worth being blunt about why: the door will hold, the frame will not, and repairing a frame is slower and dearer than anything we would have done to the lock. Do not put your shoulder into it. Do not carry on with a key that is visibly bending. Do not work at the gap with a tool, a card or a knife. Wait for us. Our technician looks at the door, tells you what should happen and what it will cost, and does nothing until you have agreed both. On the question of trust, there are two things you should expect from anybody you call. The first is a figure agreed before the work rather than announced when the door is open, and ours depends on the type of lock, the state of the cylinder, whether it needs replacing, the floor and how the building is entered. The second is that you are asked to prove the home is yours, with identification showing the address, a tenancy agreement, a bill in your name or confirmation from the building administrator. If someone skips either step, that is the moment to stop the conversation. If you reach us as Saturday ends, the first honest slot may be Monday morning, and we will say so.
