The multipoint lock on my 10+ year old permadoor front door has just gone and now I can't actually lock the door.

Hello. I live in a terraced house which is around 80 years old, and I've just been doing some MORE decorating :o) I've decided the other day to think about getting some routine checks done on the electrics and gas appliances, just to make sure everything's going fine, and to have some peace...
