Hi,
Don't ask me how, but wifey seems to have knackered our back door locking mechanism.
It's one of those where, before turning the key to lock, you pull the handle upwards to engage the (3, I think) bolts. Anyway, whatever I do, I can't now push handle down to release the bolts and open the door.
I see that I can unscrew the handle housing from the inside, but before I do so:
1. Any tips?
2. Am I likely to be able to fix this myself, or should I get a locksmith in pronto?
Cheers,
Mike.
