Service overview
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
