A multipoint lock is not a standard single-bolt lock. A gearbox in the door edge drives a locking strip that moves several locking points together, so a locksmith who mainly handles ordinary cylinders and deadbolts may not be set up for this hardware. Before you book anyone, ask whether they work on your system.
How to identify a GU or Hoppe gearbox on the door edge
Open the door and read the faceplate on its edge: the gearbox and locking strip sit behind it, and a maker name or stamp often appears there. Count the locking points and note the door type, then photograph it before you call.
What to look for on the door edge
Look at the faceplate on the open door's edge, where the gearbox sits.
Look for a maker name or stamp on the faceplate or the strip.
Count the locking points, such as hooks and bolts, along the door edge.
Note whether the door swings or slides, and whether the handle is a lever or key-turn.
What to note before you call
Your building address
Your door type and how it opens
A photo of your faceplate
The number of locking points you counted
What your lock is doing: stiff key, drooping handle, or a door that will not latch
No name on the faceplate is fine. A clear photo of the faceplate helps. Call KDL Locksmith at 416-303-0255, or request service online.

Which common multipoint lock faults need a repair?
Most multipoint faults show up as a stiff key, a handle that droops, or locking points that do not engage. The cause may be the gearbox, the strip, the keeps or a door that has dropped out of alignment, so inspection comes first.
Stiff key or stiff handle: the cylinder, the gearbox or a door that binds in its frame can all cause it.
Drooping handle: the handle no longer springs back to its resting position.
Locking points that fail to engage: the door closes but does not lock at every point.
Misaligned door or keeps: the points no longer line up with the keeps in the frame.
Door sag: a door that has dropped slightly can make the whole system jam.
Whether the fix is an adjustment, a repair or a replacement of the gearbox or strip can only be decided once the door has been inspected.
