Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
Frankston South property context
Frankston South 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. For a Frankston South 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
