The problem
The key action on this Parnell entry lock had become rough and unreliable. Once the cylinder was removed, wear around the internal mechanism was clear and explained why the key was no longer engaging cleanly.
What we did
We stripped and inspected the cylinder, replaced the worn working parts, cleaned the housing and tested the mechanism before refitting it. Checking the lock off the door also let us rule out alignment as the cause.
Repair before it seizes
A key that starts catching or needs extra force is an early warning. Having the cylinder serviced then can prevent a snapped key or a complete lockout later.
