Clodhopper Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have just arrived home from work to find that my wife has unlocked the door from the outside with a key on the inside. This seems to have got the barrel upside down on one side so the key can not be removed. So far I have managed to remove the barrel and jiggled it with a key in either side and have nearly got it back square but the last bit is proving difficult. Any advice ff the PW massive would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, with a bit of YouTube, a lot of swearing ( which I am sure helped) and some fiddly tinkering I have just managed to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Sounds like a classic case of 'Lockdown', still you can now consider yourself a 'Key Worker' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
