Top Tip
Some doors which are really tight to the frame are very difficult to turn the key to unlock the latch. This is mainly due to tight alignment for weather seals to not allow any draft through. If you have a door like this it is usually a good idea to pull the door in towards you, then turn the key to open the latch. This takes the pressure off the latch as you pull the door tight to make the latch move easier. For unlocking the door.
