Blocked Door Opening in Parque das Nações

About our service in Parque das Nações

Modern doors do not fail the way old ones do. The classic call here is still the slammed door: these leaves are heavy, they close firmly, and one gust through an open balcony window is enough. After that come keys snapped in the cylinder, very often a spare cut in a hurry at a kiosk that never quite matched, and doors on a multipoint mechanism that stop releasing properly so the key turns but the leaf stays where it is. Occasionally the lock is fine and the fault is elsewhere entirely, in a leaf that has settled against its frame since the block was finished. Please do not attempt anything on an armoured door. There is nothing to lever, nothing to prise and no way to shoulder it open, and the only likely results are a bent frame, a damaged finish and a bill that dwarfs the original problem. It is equally not worth forcing a key that has begun to twist. Call us instead and wait. Our technician looks at the door before touching it, explains what is likely to happen, and works with the leaf and the surrounding finish protected. Where the mechanism allows, the door is opened and stays in service; where it does not, we tell you plainly that the cylinder will have to be replaced. What you pay depends on the type of lock, the condition of the cylinder, whether a replacement is needed, the floor and how the building is entered, and the figure is agreed with you before any work begins, not presented at the end. We also ask for proof that you live there or are entitled to be there: identification showing the address, a tenancy agreement, a utility bill, or confirmation from the condominium administrator, who in a building like these can usually be reached quickly. If a call reaches us as Saturday closes, the first slot may be Monday morning, and we will say so rather than pretend otherwise.
