When your Composite door refuses to open, it’s not just an inconvenience; it’s a potential security risk. I think it’s vital that immediate attention be paid to such a situation.
Running down the edge of the door’s opening side is the “multipoint lock.” Like any mechanical part, it may fail. Wear and tear are possible reasons for this. Another common reason is a force! Composite doors can misalign over time. If it takes force to lift the handle, it will break the multipoint lock.
Another possible reason why the door does not open is the barrel itself. If the key does not turn at all after inserting, this is a sign of the barrel failing. I want to emphasise that it does not turn at all. If it turns even a little, it will return to a mechanism failure.
My composite door will not lock.
There are two possible scenarios if your composite door refuses to lock. To test for a mechanism failure, try locking the door ajar. This will help determine if the mechanism is still functional and okay.
If the door does lock, a likely reason is alignment. It needs to be taken care of, and possibly no parts are required. This could be an easy fix or a process of elimination and going through a series of tests. Best left to a professional, as a novice will no doubt make matters worse.
