Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Mornington property context
Mornington 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. A useful Mornington 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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
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.
Show both faces, the door edge and strike, with the supplied lock model, door thickness and relevant dimensions. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
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.

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.
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.
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.
FAQ
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.
