Faced with a lockout problem, you should not immediately resort to trying to break the locking device and open the garage. There are many ways to solve the problem without causing unnecessary damage.

HOW TO OPEN A GARAGE

The jamming of a locking device is the most common problem in cold weather. In such a situation, standard door lock opening methods using a master key will not help because the interior of the device is soldered by frozen water. The solution to the problem is quite simple; you need to warm up the lock using a burner or a homemade torch. Periodically, it is necessary to tap on the metal surface of the garage door in the place where the body of the locking mechanism is installed. If this does not help, then you will have to cut out the locking mechanisms. Most often, London locksmiths use the following methods to open a garage locking device:

• Cutting out the fastening of the locking mechanism. Not the fastest way, in which the weld points of the fastener or the body are drilled out, and then the locking cylinders are cut off;
• Opening with master keys;
• Opening with replacement of the cylinder. This is the fastest way to gain entry to locked premises. In addition, replacing the cylinder is less expensive than performing a complete garage door lock repair.

To avoid the need for a costly repair, follow the rules for the operation of locking devices and carry out regular servicing. By the way, one of the main reasons for mechanism jamming is improper care. Without a special lubricant on hand, some use grease, which leads to corrosion and chemical welding of parts. Also, in no case should you use vegetable oils. After that, it is impossible to open the locking device using safe methods. We offer services for garage door lock repair of any complexity in London on a 24/7 basis.
