My council door won’t lock

If your council door won’t lock, it’s important to report the issue to the council as soon as possible, as this presents a security risk to your home. The council has a legal obligation to ensure that all locks, doors, and other safety features are in good working order to protect your safety. When reporting the issue, make sure to highlight the potential risks of leaving your home unsecured, particularly if it’s your main entry point. If the council fails to address the repair promptly, you may have grounds to escalate the complaint or take further action. At Legal HD, we assist tenants facing disrepair issues, including security concerns like broken locks.
