We've struggled with our back door for years. Every summer it gets harder to shut, the kids slam it, you have to lift the knob to get the lock to close. I complained enough that we had a locksmith come look at it earlier this year. He looked at it for about a minute (after being late for the appointment) and said it would cost $300 to fix. Um, no. My handy husband cut out the deadbolt and fixed that this weekend.
Then we ordered a replacement for the bottom lock on Amazon and he replaced that too! Two locks that work? What a change! Now we have to get the kids new keys. Our next project might be replacing the deadbolt with a number lock so we wouldn't even have to carry a house key.
