Hi, Wonder if anyone could give me their thoughts? I have a property with wooden patio doors. Four years ago I replaced the lock as it became damaged. My tenant has now reported that it is sometimes tricky to get the key to work and tells me problem appears to coincide with wet weather and thinks it's because the door is warping when damp. I can replace double doors with plastic (needing FENSA certificate) but that would be expensive and will really stretch me financially at the mo. Or could I replace the lock again? Or any thoughts on how to overcome problem in the short term? Thanking you in anticipation.
