Repair before replacement
A faulty cylinder, gearbox, handle or door alignment can create similar symptoms. We diagnose the cause first and explain whether an adjustment, individual part or complete mechanism is appropriate.
Do not force a stiff handle
Repeated force can damage the internal gearbox and leave the door stuck. If the mechanism suddenly becomes difficult, stop forcing it and arrange an inspection—especially if the door is your main entrance.
