07990 573857 SF Locksmiths recently attended a property in Walkley, S6, where the front composite door had jammed shut and wouldn’t open.
The door had an ERA Vectis multipoint locking mechanism that had failed.
We opened the composite door without damage.
With the mechanism jammed in the locked position, opening the door required specialist locksmith equipment.
Instead of drilling the lock or damaging the composite door, we used specialist locksmith wires designed for this locking mechanism failure.
We opened the door without damaging the door, frame, or existing fittings.
ERA Vectis gearbox replacement
Once inside, we removed the failed ERA Vectis gearbox and fitted a suitable replacement. We didn’t need to replace the complete multipoint locking mechanism or the composite door. We carefully realigned the door to ensure the locking points engaged correctly and the new gearbox operated smoothly. After several checks, the front door opened, closed and locked properly again.
A failed ERA Vectis gearbox doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new composite door. Specialist tools and replacement parts can often restore the lock without damage.
