Hi all

hope someone can help.
I went to lock my door today and the Handle will not go up to allow me to turn and lock the door.
I have tried it with the door open and still does not work.
Any Suggestions as to what has caused this to happen all of a sudden.???

Many Thanks

Only time I've come across this problem was on a set of french doors fitted with a multipoint mechanism. The mechanism had extensions top/bottom which fired bolts into the frame. These had gradually seized (rusted actually due to rain getting into the mechanism), and needed stripping down and lubricating.

Try a squirt of WD40 and work the mechanism up/down.
