wobbly door lock

by trisarahtops » Wed Aug 04, 2010 1:33 pm

Hi,

My front door has a (yale type) lock on it and the panel on the outside of the door where you insert the key has a lip that you have to grab in order to shut the door as there is no doorhandle.
The panel at the front has become wobbly-is there an easy way to tighten it?
Thanks!

trisarahtops,
"is there an easy way to tighten it?" Yes remove the lock body - usually 2 screws on the edge of the lock, this will expose the two fixing screws which hold the outside lock in place. Tighten and refit.
end
