Hi
I cannot lock my pvc back door.
I can lift handle and all locking parts engage. I have checked this with door open.
I lift handle to engage multi locks and then put in key with is at the 6 O Clock position. I turn it anticlockwise. Normally it would go back the the 6 O Clock position where I can then remove the key. This happens whether door is shut or not.
Now it is only going back to the 7 O Clock position not quite making the full 360 degrees of turn. Hence I cannot remove the key to complete the locking process.
I have given it a good squirt of WD40. Didn't know that this was a bad move until I read forum about ten mins ago.
I am hoping that its a quick fix i.e new cylinder and not a full lock and locksmith call out.
Regards
John
