A lock that had reached failure
The older handle lock on this Freemans Bay timber door had severe wear around the keyway. The key could no longer operate the mechanism reliably, leaving the entry at risk of becoming unusable.
Removing the failed hardware
We dismantled the lock without causing additional damage to the painted door, then checked the spindle, latch and existing openings. That assessment allowed suitable replacement hardware to be selected for the original preparation.
Older doors deserve careful work
Replacing hardware on established timber joinery requires more than covering the old holes. The new lock needs sound fixings and correct alignment to protect both security and the door itself.
