Thank you so much for your kind review, Andy! We’re really pleased we could get your bifold doors back in working order. The repair was slightly more complex than usual due to the door’s design, which restricted access to the bottom rods without full disassembly and reassembly of the frames. We're glad you opted for a comprehensive solution that allowed us to fully restore the lock, barrel, and handle on the slave leaf.
The broken key inside the barrel was just one of those unfortunate complications, though it’s a common issue with folding doors when a key is accidentally left inserted and the door is then slid open. Drilling into these doors is always a last resort, as it risks scratches or worse — so we were pleased to resolve it cleanly and share some preventative tips to help avoid it happening again.
Your recommendation means a great deal — thank you again for choosing Glazing Spark Window Repairs!
