I just heard from Idealcombi that it is possible to order my front door without any handle or lock. Idealcombi's standard look is an oval one common in Denmark but harder to get in the UK and so getting keys might be a problem. Furthermore, if I ever wanted to replace the lock with, for example, a smart lock then it might be impossible. Could anyone foresee any problems adding my own handle and lock to such a flush-panel door? What are the common locks used in the UK? Would fitting a Euro cylinder barrel lock be a sensible idea?

Following on from my previous post where my patio door lock was getting stiff, despite trying to lubricate it it is now jammed so I guess I will have to get someone out to sort it . Was having a look around at locks etc and wondered about this. No keys needed. Anyone got one, or something similar? What do people think about security of this type of thing? I haven't checked whether it will fit my door yet however. Smart Door Lock

One of the locks on my French doors is becoming very stiff to unlock. Had a look online and various links say squirt with WD40, never use WD40, use 3 in 1 oil, use graphite powder, remove the barrel and clean etc. So now I’m confused about what to do. Any tips please as the lock on the back door is the same type and the one I rely on to get in the house and that’s getting a little stiff now too.
