My husband and I just purchased a 1930 home. The thing we love about this house is that while it has been updated, all the old hardwood and character has been preserved. Including the front door which is a giant slab of hardwood with a nice antique skeleton key lock. We love this aspect and have no plans to change it, however we encountered a hickup in the lock that we need a proffesional opinion on. We want to fix it properly in order to perserve the lock (and the door itself).
Here is the hickup. Everything locks and unlocks fine, but the outside doorknob has either been broken or simply made to not turn anymore. So while we can unlock the door, from the outside we can't get in because the knob will not turn. How could we fix this?
