My uPVC front door keeps jamming (won't open to let me out).
Opening the door is a two-step process...1. turn the knob anticlockwise. 2. Lift up the handle.(see picture)
However, when I lift the handle, the "claws" (one near the top of the frame and one near the bottom) in the door frame don't fully retract (see picture) & it takes several attempts of lifting/lowering the handle to retract the claws.
Don't see this getting any better with time, so does anyone know a fix? I could try removing the brass strip down the edge although I'm not sure what I'd find doing that. Maybe put oil on it or something.
Any help appreciated.
