Troubleshooting
The door lock is difficult to operate.
Lubricate the moving parts of the gearbox with a suitable lubricant. Check for any obstructions or debris.
The key won't turn in the lock.
Check the alignment of the door. Ensure the key and cylinder are compatible. If necessary, replace the cylinder.
