Other emergency situations
Blocked garage door: what a locksmith can unlock
A garage door that won't open means your car is stuck inside - or outside. First, let's identify the cause: if the problem is the lock, latch, cylinder or handle, that is our trade and we fix it on site. If the motor or the door spring is at fault, we tell you honestly at diagnosis - that is not locksmith work.
Common garage door lock failures
- Seized or broken cylinder - the key no longer turns, often after years without maintenance; we replace the cylinder on site
- Jammed latch or espagnolette - the side locking points no longer retract
- Key broken in the lock - fragment extraction, then barrel replacement if needed
- Handle spinning loose - the drive square has come away from the mechanism
- Forced lock after a break-in attempt - unlocking and replacement with a more resistant model
Securing your garage door: an entry point not to neglect
Garages are often a burglar's preferred entry point, especially in detached Brabant homes where the garage connects to the house. An ageing garage lock can be forced quietly. We reinforce your garage door's locking: high-security cylinder, additional latches, and advice adapted to your setup.
Our tip: check your garage door lock once a year - a key that starts to stick announces a blockage. To go further, see our burglary prevention guide.
