We were recently called out to a property in Troon, Ayrshire, where an aluminium door manufactured by Everest had jammed shut. The door mechanism had failed, leaving the elderly homeowner locked out and understandably frustrated.
Before reaching out to us, the gentleman had made a determined attempt to get the door open himself, using what he had to hand – a multitool cutter, screwdriver, hammer and a small crowbar. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, the door remained stuck and sustained some damage in the process.
Professional, Non-Destructive Entry
When we arrived, we carefully assessed the situation and were able to open the door non-destructively, avoiding any further damage. With the correct tools and expertise, we got the door open safely and efficiently.
We then fitted:
- A brand new Everest gearbox, restoring proper function
- A new cylinder, ensuring the door was fully secure
The result? A smooth, working aluminium door and a much-relieved homeowner.
