Hi all,
I have a uPVC front door.
When I lock the door I push the handle up, to engage the dead bolts, before locking the door.
Last night, the dead-bolts didn't seem to engage properly the first time, so I put some upwards pressure on the door and tried again.
Something felt weird, so I released the dead-bolts to open the door and have a look, but the top one did not release.
Now I cannot get out of the front door.
if I try to open it, the botton and middle 'open', but the top is stuck firm.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Are front doors expensive to replace? or is it possible to disassemble a door in situ, from the inside?
thanks,
Matt
