Answered on 24th Nov 2020 - Member since Dec 2018 - report"Hi Karen,
It is extremely likely that the door is out of alignment. It will require adjustment/realignment from the hinges, followed by the adjustment of the keeps.
Hope this helps."
"You need to adjust the door quite easy, give a locksmith a call."
Answered on 24th Nov 2020 - Member since Nov 2020 - report"Could be the door needs realigning, or the keeps in the frame may need repositioning. Unlikely but possibly damaged mechanism in door not activating properly."
Answered on 24th Nov 2020 - Member since Sep 2020 - report"Hiya, It sounds like your door is out of alignment and will need adjusting so it stops this happening. It will also save wear and tear on your gearbox meaning you won't have to pay out for an early mechanism replacement.
Many thanks"
"The door may have dropped and just needs adjusting."

Answered on 24th Nov 2020 - Member since Oct 2020 - report"Hello, There are many reasons why this happens. The most common reason is the door has dropped and the hinges need adjusting. In extreme cases the glass needs re heel and toeing."
