Rim deadlatch replaced on a Kingsland entry door

A tired surface-mounted deadlatch was removed and a replacement prepared for a busy Kingsland entry door.

Rim deadlatch replaced on a Kingsland entry door

The old latch had worn out

The entry door deadlatch had become unreliable after years of regular use. Once removed, wear inside the case confirmed that replacement was the sensible option rather than another short-term adjustment.

Matching the replacement

We checked the existing door preparation, selected a compatible surface-mounted deadlatch and set the cylinder and strike to line up correctly. The new unit was then tested from both sides of the door.

Reliable everyday security

Rim deadlatches are common on Auckland timber doors. Correct strike alignment matters as much as the lock itself, particularly on doors that move slightly with the seasons.
