Last week we had new doors fitted, and since then I keep getting locked out of my house. Yesterday, I was out there for over half an hour, dogs and shopping in tow, because my key wouldn’t work. Eventually went around the neighbours, who sent her bloke around who couldn’t get the key to work either, until all of sudden, it decided to release the catch. Unfortunately, he closed the door to try it again, and we were locked out for another ten minutes. So today I’ve had the council back to say the keys won’t work (because my mother has had trouble too), and they all work this morning! It’s astonishing how people are disinclined to believe you when you explain what happened, as if you’re a moron or something who doesn’t know how to work a catch. I swear to God… *growls* To get them to do anything, I’ve had to say that I can’t leave the house for fear of not getting back in, which is perfectly true. FFS!!! I feel like screaming.

We’ve had the same issue. The front door to my building was sticking, the lock wouldn’t accept the key, and so on. I was complaining to my daft one, who is, after all, the president of the cooperative board… and who tried to mansplain how locks work to me. But they called in the locksmith, who promptly fixed it so well the handle wouldn’t work. We could get in, but we couldn’t get out.
I told the daft one he could bloody well wait for the bus when he worked late because I was fed up with a five-minute fight with the front door to be able to leave, and wasn’t exiting via the service entrance because the locksmith was incompetent. It got fixed.

*hugs* I’m glad your door got fixed.
The next person who tries to explain how to turn a key in a lock to me is going to get a whack around the lughole… figuratively speaking. Actual casual violence will probably not get me anywhere. Not these days. Well, except for a solicitor’s letter.
They’ve said they’ll replace the tumbler thing, and that they’ll just “put that one in someone else’s house” Dickhead. *growls again* They’ll only get the same complaint again, so they can do what they like.
