Door Lock Replacement
authorised like-for-like ordinary mechanical door locksets
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
Wheelers Hill property context
Wheelers Hill sits within the existing South-Eastern 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. Electrical, plumbing and gas tasks must be directed to licensed trades. Major structural movement, unstable load-bearing elements or substantial fence failure may also need specialist assessment before handyman finishing work.
Planning the work
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.
Keep supplied instructions and keys secure. Refer key cutting, rekeying, lockouts and specialist security requirements to an appropriate provider. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
