I'm having difficulty locking and unlocking my front door. It's a triple lock and the key will sometimes the key will only turn halfway. When open the locks work perfectly so it appears to be the receivers.

Many thanks

Silly question have you tried WD40 my partner had a similar problem and when the locksmith came he told her that was all it needed and he was gone after 30 minutes

Also does your home insurance not cover call out for this problem

The insurance bit is a very good point. Thanks. The locks are actually very free with the foit open so not a lubrication problem. The receivers seem to be a problem , tried enlarging the openings but no luck. Thanks for your advice
