Door issue

Posted by emma Gregory, on
My door lock won't fit into the door frame section anymore but will turn freely when the door is open. Do I need a locksmith?

Hi Emma the lock must not be lining up with the keep/striking plate on the frame, if its a timber door it may have warped slightly or if its a PVC door it may have dropped. Sometimes all that is needed is a quick file of the keep. A carpenter would sort this for you. Ed
