Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Gardenvale property context
For Gardenvale 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. A useful Gardenvale 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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.

FAQ
