(106) Cardale Garage Door Handle (How It Works & Opening)

The old style Cardale garage door handles can be found on many up and over doors in the UK. On replacing them you can either buy a new cardale handle which are expensive, alternatively you can purchase a copy handle or replace just the cylinder (please not to replace the cylinder the lock needs to be open)

Hey bud. Many thanks! We used my kid’s starter level lock picking kit to rescue Grandad. We needed your video to understand which tool to use and which direction to turn. You’re a legend. Many thanks. Garage lock defeated. 🎉❤🙂

I am pretty sure we've got a Cardale? It's from 1995 - that's when we had a new garage door. Hasn't been opened for at least twenty years ! I may need this advice Derek 😃👍 Cheers and all the very best to you and yours 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻

Thanks for watching mate, get plenty of GT85 in the lock all the very best to you and yours.

Question: the garage door is locked but somehow the retaining clip has come away so the barrel has come out when the key was pulled out. So how do I open the locked garage door? I put the barrel back in and turn the key but it just won't open the lock..HELP

[@DerekMercerlocksmith]

You will probably have lost the cam arm which lock and opens the lock, I would ask a garage door firm or locksmith for a price to open for you.

Very interesting Derek, I’ve not seen those before.
