Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fitzroy North property context
For Fitzroy North 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. For a Fitzroy North quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Confirm authority, mechanical compatibility and existing cut-outs before accepting a lockset swap on an accessible door. Share the exact product specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish suitability. Missing materials or unsuitable supplied products can change the plan or require another visit.
Keep supplied instructions and keys secure. Refer key cutting, rekeying, lockouts and specialist security requirements to an appropriate provider. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
Replace suitable ordinary mechanical hardware in the compatible existing preparation and check its operation with the authorised customer. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Authorised ordinary compatible mechanical lockset replacement only. No lockouts, emergency entry, key cutting, rekeying, locksmith security services, rated-door work or electrical integration. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Replace suitable ordinary mechanical hardware in the compatible existing preparation and check its operation with the authorised customer. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Replace suitable ordinary mechanical hardware in the compatible existing preparation and check its operation with the authorised customer. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
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.
