The below set of questions are used when we have a deadbolt type lock
- It would be a lot easier for us to troubleshoot the problem in case we can have a video call . Can we video call you on whatsApp or send you a zoom link .
If the answer is yes , then work with the client to check the below , If the answer is no , then ask the client to answer the below. - Do you think you know the thickness of the Door? ( if its thin then the mortise might be squeezed between the In-body and the out-body )
- Is the door properly aligned with the door frame?
- Does the deadbolt have enough room in the door frame?
- Does the door have a handle with latch to open and close the door? (if there is no handle then the pressure on the deadbolt from continuous opening and closing)
- Can we check the lock direction together? (in case the door is not closing)
- Is the movement of the lock knob smooth?
- Please use the sensor or lock/unlock button to retract the deadbolt . this was we can know if the problem is with the door frame or the lock itself .
- If you have a screw driver only , I can walk you through dismantling the lock and check other points which will make repair problem easier? If the client agrees , then.
- check that internal connectors are plugged in properly ?
- check that the internal wires are intact ?
- check if the handle shaft pin is in its place ?
- check if the handle shaft has slipped towards the in-body or
the out-body ? -
If asking all the above does not help solving the problem and you believe that a locksmith needs to go to site, then inform the client that you will double check some issues and get back to them .
-
send "Melbourne support" the case with all the details and the video sent by the client, and if we decide that a locksmith is required at site , we send the client an email with the "service agreement" form in order for the client to sign and return prior to sending the locksmith.
Closing Spiel :
< Mr./Mrs. client name > Is there anything else that I will be able to help you with?
