What NOT to Do While Waiting

Time is of the essence in emergencies, and while we’re on our way, let’s make certain you avoid actions that could complicate the situation.

It’s understood that it’s tempting to try a quick fix, but some actions can turn a simple lockout into a costly ordeal. Here’s what to avoid:

• Don’t pick the lock: Using a hairpin or screwdriver can bend pins or break the cylinder, leading to a full replacement rather than a simple fix.

• Avoid sliding a card: Modern multipoint locks, like those on UPVC doors, aren’t card-defeatable. A broken card can jam the mechanism, especially on Yale Lockmaster gearboxes.

• Don’t kick the door: This can split the frame, especially on period doors, requiring costly repairs beyond just the lock.
