Can a locksmith injure your door?

We accidentally locked ourselves out of the house last hours of darkness and had to give the name a locksmith. Only the bottom lock was locked (not the deadbolt) and he couldn't unseal it with pins so he used these pumps to move the door and the door frame apart until it popped plain. But after he left and I get in the house and locked it I notice that the space between the door and the frame seemed larger than in the past. It was close at top and bottom, but far apart contained by the middle (almost far enough that the bottom lock doesn't turn all the method in the hole). Am I imagine things or can this way of gap the door do this? Will it eventually move back within place on its own or is there something I can do to inch it closer together? Thanks!


Answers:    Surely they can destroy it..as mentioned..I have never hear of this technique..not much of A locksmith if he can't open a adjectives entry lock...one of the easiest to pick.. But it can range from him moving the door and frame apart yes..he could enjoy broken/cracked the studs within the wall holding the outer layer in, could hold messed the striker plate up itself, made the screws on any subdivision knob/hinges etc strip out,along with various other factors..when he moved the door from the frame in attendance had to be a few thousand psi pressing on the hinge and the stud on the hinge side..I would definately stop payment on the check..or get him pay for the repair of it..i in recent times did some research and these wedges and inflatable pumps that do this are made for automotive use with the sole purpose...
save ur account, submit bill for damages.
hope he was really a business and not a fly by nite.
what have probably happened is the shims astern the door casing hold been compressed and door will involve reshimming.
No, "recovery effect" involved, pretty much long-lasting until repaired. Repair will involve removing the trim to get into the space at the back the door casing.
Some category of lock smith? Wow never heard of this method used by a pro up to that time. A real lock smith can initiate your lock sometimes it takes a bit longer to pick. He have now moved your lock set side of your door not the hinged side. Take the inside molding sour of the frame be sure to take a utility gouge and cut down the back side of the molding so that the paint wont chip from the removal. Then pilfer your pry bar and pry the shell back into place and later re shim to desired space needed. Reinstall moulding touch up with paint and next send the lock smith a bill for your work done. I judge a fair estamate would be the cost of the lock smiths billing. what do you guess?
