UPVC door stuck deadlock 

Thanks man. Bottom bolt dropped and wouldn’t lift. Thanks to this gentleman, I managed to remove the hinges and get it sorted. Much obliged

You’re a life saver. Just managed to sort my back door out thanks to this video

Thanks for posting this one. I think a similar thing has happened to our door - the top 'lock' was catching in the frame, but there is no room for wiggle to free that screw in the locking mechanism. I'm thinking of freeing the hinges because at least then we can try to re-open the door to investigate why the lock is sticking.

Tuning in from Ireland, great job, well explained, keep up the great work

Brilliant! Thanks, saved me a fortune on calling someone out 👍

signs were there as you can see where the screw head has damaged the plastic hinges are not always easy to remove

Excellent, constructive presentation, thank you

Morel of story , these doors need maintenance ,, good idea to strip out the entire lock mechanism and grease all sliders / moving parts, every few years or , as soon as you detect ANY sticking or unusual " behaviour " ,,,, isnt hindsight wonderful 😊😊😊😊😊

I was in a real pickle .. This helped me out big time.

This happened to me, easily fixed lift the door up by the handles (good lift)should clear the problem 👍

Quite often when it sticks like this if you put the key in and turn it to open it releases the bolt. It still needs fixing because it’s a pain having to open it with the key every time but at least you can get to the bolts to fix

This has just happened to me at 2am!!! Going to leave it and tend to it tomorrow.

thank you - really helpful !

Use a door spreader carefully so the glass does not smash

Very helpful video hope it works on mine!

Good video. I have a different problem. I have a lean-to Consevatory, every summer I have the same problem with the outside door. I open it ok but if it's hot day I have to really slam it to close it, which is a worry incase the class smashes. And the door going into the house sticks/scrapes on the frame when I close it. Any ideas please

Dozens of thanks

Congrats for 11k

I have a serious issue in my uPVC door , I have tried everything , the hooks are stuck at the top and I have tried to open the door, I even drilled a few holes to see what's happening but to no avail

Where’s the clip of how you actually got the door open? Thanks

Great vid 👍🏽

I feel seasick
