Broken lock

Customer’s front door couldn’t be unlocked with the key and the door was jammed shut.  We were able to  open the door and removed the lock for investigation.  The problem was clear. The tail of the bolt that is pulled by the bolt thrower to withdraw the bolt had snapped right off. A replacement lock was fitted.
