Hi All,
I cannot open the front door. It is a UPVC fairly standard door which opens outwards. The mechanism had been getting stiff when the handle pushed up before locking and then one day it would not disengage the locks when pushed down. I think the lower pins are disengaging but not the upper ones as I can pull open the door slightly at the bottom and the door flexes a bit, but it is not possible to separate it from the frame at all at the top.
I cannot work out what to do other than to remove the inner panel and jigsaw the door edge resulting in a new door being required. I have removed the inner panel and there are some screw heads, would removing those help in any way?
Has anyone got any helpful tips?
Thanks in Advance
