Gaining entry through Wooden Storm Doors

[Jake5]

I'm trying to arrange access to my flat with a Joiner, (however his experience is in PVC Doors), as my estranged wife has somehow lost/witheld the keys.
The storm doors are held by a sash mortice and mckenzie lock but the hardest test is the Abloy. Any serious tips/assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

we have no way of knowing if you are legally entitled to break into this home.

I know that. If you wish to speak to my Solicitor they will confirm the position. Trust me, I'm not a burgular.

best approach a reputable local locksmith who will satisfy himself first.

Thats the problem, money, if I had it I wouldn't have hesitated arranging it. Thanks for your response however.

It will work out far cheaper to call a locksmith than repair the doors after a joiner has been at them.

Right Ok i'll try, the sash mortice can be picked, if your not very good at picking you can drill the bolt stump out, for that i would need to see the lock to identify which lock it is to get the critical measurements on where to drill.

Regarding the mckenzie lock, i haven't a clue what this is.

As for the abloy, well these are high security locks last time i looked so i doubt anything you get from an internet forum will get you past this lock.

As has been said, a locksmith stood in front of the door is better placed than we are but expect £60 ph and half that for every other hour after that + the new locks, locksmiths don't come cheap but nor does their training

I'm going to take a guess that the mortice sashlock is euro driven, and that Mckenzie is stamped on the face of the euro cylinder. The abloy is likely to be a rim cylinder. All can be picked, all can be destroyed - but the locksmith stands the best chance of getting you in with the least amount of damage - plus they can verify your right to entry.
