Signs: the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally or the door closes poorly despite an otherwise sound visible opening. Causes: normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
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.
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.
adjust and retain suitable existing hardware. replace an identified compatible component after measuring the existing item. Limits: Authorised ordinary compatible mechanical lockset replacement only. No lockouts, emergency entry, key cutting, rekeying, locksmith security services, rated-door work or electrical integration.
