    Really appreicate your full length videos. I work as a caretaker which involves fixing locks and doors that are jammed among other things. I find locksmithing really interesting and have learned a lot. Keep posting and I'll keep watching.

    Mate usually if there are long handles, just take the habdle off and use the good spindle and door opens, handles are cheap, good luck.

    After having weighed up that the door was jammed and unable to be opened, i would have used the old method of sorting this problem and taped a hand grenade to the door handle, pulled the pin, and run like bloody crazy. I find this little trick always sorts the problem and gives the customer access to their home in just a few short minutes. Uncle Bob the old Forces Locksmith.

    • @ActiveLockCentre
      @ActiveLockCentre  13 дней назад +7

      @peteb3365 I thought the mechanism had failed so doing it from the outside, with the souber spreader kit is the best option as trying to open a door inwards that had failed would be harder, and there is nothing wrong with using a impact driver if you know how to use it, we all have different ways of doing jobs and as long as you get a good result that doesn't impact on the customers pocket, it's a result in my eyes.
