Rule of the job1 of 3
Deciding what to replace
We look at the existing lock, the door thickness and the holes already drilled. Sometimes a new cylinder is enough; sometimes the whole lockset has earned its retirement.

Erindale Lock Experts
Much of our work is in older houses, where the doors have settled, the frames are not quite square and the hardware has been changed three or four times over the decades. We like these jobs. They ask for judgement rather than a catalogue number: how to fit a modern deadbolt to a door that was never drilled for one, how to keep a period handle while making the lock behind it dependable. Our technicians carry the shims, fillers and odd-sized parts these houses need, and they take the time to get the alignment right. The result is a door that closes with one hand and locks without a shove, which is what an old house deserves.

Fitting the new hardware
The new lock goes in with the strike adjusted so the bolt throws fully. If the old holes need filling or enlarging, that is done neatly.

Checking fit and finish
We test the lock with the door open and closed, from both sides, check the key turns without effort and clean up the doorstep before leaving.

How a visit goes
For a business, a lock is really a question of who. Who holds a key, who left with one, who needs to get into the stockroom but not the office.
