The damaged opening
This Royal Oak timber door had a failed lock with visible damage around the spindle opening. Fitting new hardware straight over it would have left a weak fixing and a poor finish.
Preparing the door properly
We removed the damaged mechanism, cleaned and stabilised the opening, then prepared it for replacement hardware with sound fixing points. The new lock was aligned with the frame and tested without forcing the door.
Why the preparation matters
A replacement lock is only as secure as the timber holding it. Repairing the mounting area first helps the new hardware sit square and last longer.
