ERA classic composite door lock repair in Monk Bretton, Barnsley

We recently attended a property in Monk Bretton, Barnsley, after the locking mechanism on a side composite door suddenly failed, leaving the customer unable to secure her home.

The door was fitted with an ERA Classic multipoint locking mechanism that suffered a common gearbox failure.

Faulty ERA classic gearbox replaced

One problem we regularly encounter with ERA Classic mechanisms is a small internal component breaking off inside the gearbox. This can jam the locking mechanism, preventing the door from locking or unlocking correctly.

Fortunately, on this occasion, the door had failed in the unlocked position. Although the customer could still open and close the door, she couldn’t lock it securely.

We attended within the hour, identified the faulty ERA gearbox, and fitted a replacement.

After completing the repair, we checked the door’s alignment and tested the locking mechanism to make sure everything operated smoothly.

The customer was extremely pleased to have her composite door working again and her property secure.
