Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Service overview
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
