Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Common situations
Photograph the edge preparation and both door faces. A different lock body may require work beyond a straightforward compatible swap. Structural alteration, rebuilding damaged sections and specialist door-system changes are excluded rather than assumed to be part of replacement hardware fitting.
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.
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.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
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.
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.
Fernshaw property context
For Fernshaw enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested door lock replacement. Confirm authority, mechanical compatibility and existing cut-outs before accepting a lockset swap on an accessible door. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. Fernshaw sits near Narbethong, Warburton, Millgrove and East Warburton. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Confirm authority, mechanical compatibility and existing cut-outs before accepting a lockset swap on an accessible door. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
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.
Show both faces, the door edge and strike, with the supplied lock model, door thickness and relevant dimensions. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
