Common questions
Why won't my shop door lock?
The most common cause is the door dropping so the bolt no longer meets the keep. Worn cylinders and broken lock bodies are the next most likely causes.
Can you change the locks after staff leave?
Yes. Swapping the euro cylinders is usually enough and is quick to do. Restricted-key cylinders stop copies being cut without authorisation.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
