Wrong end of the stick

I have the same problem at the Church here, same key for the outside doors but they all have to be turned, fiddled with in a different way.
One door I just cannot get open and end up walking down then up stairs to open it from the inside, why they are not all the same I have no idea.

I have trouble with these new locks too Auntieflo pushing the handle up while locking with a key. I once had to give up while dog sitting at my son's and DiL. I had to go out the front door, through the back gate get the dog then reverse back to the house. It's seems locks/triple locks are not my forte. Your thread has lightened up my day and made me smile

I had to look up triple lock too - even though I'd watched most of PM's questions, missed the first bit.
I thought it would be something about wrestling (why on Gransnet? )

I'm the same with my DD's door locks when I'm asked to wait in for a delivery etc. while she's at work. It's very odd, involving having to hold the handle up, turn the key a certain way and (in my case) hope for the best.

Can't beat a good old yale lock!
