It’s been a bit of a locking mechanism marathon over the last couple of days! 🔐
The first job was in Thorpe Bay, where a customer had actually been locked out of their house. Once I gained entry, it quickly became clear that the locking mechanism had failed, which was why the key wouldn’t operate the door properly. ✅
Next stop was Thorpe Bay Broadway to a local funeral directors. They couldn't lock the back door, which thankfully only needed a few adjustments to get it working again. However, the front door wasn't quite so lucky... the locking mechanism had completely failed. Fortunately, I had the correct replacement on the van, so it was soon back up and running. ✅
Then it was on to Stanford-le-Hope. I visited the previous day to diagnose the problem and ordered the necessary parts. Both the front and back doors had faulty locking mechanisms, so I returned to fit the replacements and carry out the necessary adjustments to get everything working smoothly again. ✅
It just goes to show that when a door starts to become difficult to lock, unlock, or operate, it’s usually trying to tell you something. Getting it checked early can often save a lot of inconvenience later on! 💯
