Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Service overview
The person arranging the job must have authority for the property and hardware change. For a rental or managed property, agree the appropriate permission and access contact. An enquiry does not establish ownership or authorise gaining entry to a locked property.
The strike needs to suit the latch and existing frame. A replacement lockset will not automatically correct a sagging door or damaged jamb. Any ordinary adjustment or separate repair should be identified in the quote before testing final closing and operation.
The distance from the door edge to the operating centre affects compatibility. Share the product drawing and existing measurement if safely available. An incorrect backset can place the handle or mechanism against old holes, so check before purchasing a replacement.
Replace suitable ordinary mechanical hardware in the compatible existing preparation and check its operation with the authorised customer. Scope limits: Authorised ordinary compatible mechanical lockset replacement only. No lockouts, emergency entry, key cutting, rekeying, locksmith security services, rated-door work or electrical integration.
Altona North property context
Altona North sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For door lock replacement, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Confirm authority, mechanical compatibility and existing cut-outs before accepting a lockset swap on an accessible door. A useful Altona North enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
Replace suitable ordinary mechanical hardware in the compatible existing preparation and check its operation with the authorised customer. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Keep supplied instructions and keys secure. Refer key cutting, rekeying, lockouts and specialist security requirements to an appropriate provider. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Confirm authority, mechanical compatibility and existing cut-outs before accepting a lockset swap on an accessible door. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Show both faces, the door edge and strike, with the supplied lock model, door thickness and relevant dimensions. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Common situations
Keep the strike, fixings, instructions and all compatible fittings with the new lockset. Missing components can prevent installation even when the main body is present. Do not assume unrelated spare screws or old fittings will meet the new product’s requirements.
Hardware must suit the leaf thickness and the maker’s permitted range. Spindles and fixings are not interchangeable solely because the finish matches. Provide the door specification where possible and keep the complete supplied pack together until the fit is reviewed.
Identify whether the supplied product matches the ordinary existing lockset arrangement. Similar handles can conceal different mechanisms. This task excludes emergency entry, key cutting, rekeying, specialist security advice and powered access systems; it starts with authorised access to the door.

FAQ

Check the accepted mechanical hardware with the door open and then in its ordinary closed position. The authorised customer should understand the supplied product’s operation. This is a fitting check, not a security assessment, compliance certificate or promise against unauthorised entry.
