Blocked Door Opening in Queluz

About our service in Queluz

Locks of that vintage were built to last and mostly have, but forty or fifty years of daily use leaves its mark. What people describe to us is a key that has needed more encouragement each year until it stops working altogether, or one that has finally sheared off inside the cylinder, or a lock that turns smoothly and moves nothing at all. Running alongside that is the ordinary domestic accident: a door that closes on a draught while somebody takes rubbish to the chute or answers the intercom, with the keys sitting on the shelf inside. Some ground-floor and rear doors on these estates also swell and stick in a wet month. Whatever the cause, forcing it is the expensive route. These frames are not as heavy as the doors they hold, and a shoulder against the leaf can pull the keep out of the frame or split the timber around it, which is a repair on a different scale from a cylinder. Stop turning a key the moment it starts to bend, and keep improvised tools away from the gap. Message us and let the door be. Our technician reads the door on arrival, sets out what should happen and what it will cost, and begins only with your agreement. Where the lock allows it, the door opens and the lock stays in use afterwards. We ask every caller to show that the home is theirs before we open it: identification with the address on it, a tenancy agreement, a bill in your name, or confirmation from the building administrator, whom we can ring ourselves. On estates where flats change hands and tenants often, that check is what keeps the wrong person from talking their way through your door. What you pay reflects the type of lock, the state of the cylinder, whether it has to be replaced, the floor and how the block is entered, and it is agreed before work begins. If you call as Saturday ends, the first real appointment may be Monday morning, and we will tell you so.
