House Front Door wont Open!
Discussion
Hi, Finally got in my house at 8.15pm!! after the locksmith drilling the back door lock, trying to open the front door and eventually going to fetch ladders as the bathroom window looked slightlu ajar.
We then had to unscrew the top opener on the window out of the frame to get in.
Was hilarious! wish I had videod it.
He then changed the barrel on the back door. The front door lock is knackered so will need a new one
charged me £67. Top guy!
The cat luckily didnt "park its breakfast" on my new rug and the mrs went round her mates till it was fixed so no nagging!!
It does pose the question though I never showed him any ID or anything I could of been anyone.
Although I suppose if you wait around 4 hours to get in someone else's house you probably deserve whats inside.
Alls well that ends well.

thats the way I look at it.
The back door wouldnt open because it was locked with the key in the door, so using the key from the outside wouldnt work.
Lesson learned dont leave keys in the door.

Sorry it's no help at all but..... Finally someone has paid the price (£63) for doing something thats one of my pet hates. do NOT leave keys in the pissing lock. One day you (or someone else) will not be able to get in!

Surely that could be seen as an added security measure.....Personally I always leave the keys in the back door of the house - if there is a fire I want to know that my family wont be choking to death arguing about where the keys have been placed this time. They would get misplaced daily. I'd far rather have to pay a few quid for a broken window if needs be! Once the extension is finished I may take the one out the side door to add an alternative route but not everyone has that option.

And getting paid £60 a time as well
Bad luck on the job though, that's a bit poo.
You think thats expensive, called a gas fitter to put one flexible hose on the back of my new cooker, which will take all of 5 mins, wanted £90 Bad luck on the job though, that's a bit poo.
And they wonder why people take a chance. Lets face it, put a bit of PTFE tape on the threads, screw it in, connect up gas, get squeeze bottle of soap stuff, and check for leaks, thats what the last CORGI regisgterd guy did.
P.S. Just checked with British Gas, they want £108............ thieving barstewards.
