Door Lock Replacement & Repair in Sydney
Exitoso & Co are the professionals in all your door lock replacement needs.
When you have a problem with a door lock, it can be frustrating. If it is for an external door, it can also be a serious concern, as your home is more vulnerable to unauthorised entry if your locks are damaged. In fact, one of the most common causes of door lock damage is attempted burglary. Sometimes the attempt is successful, in which case the lock is completely compromised, and other times the attempt fails but still results in damage to the lock.
If your home has been subjected to a burglary attempt where the lock was attacked, you should not trust that lock any more and should get the door lock repaired as soon as possible. You should do that even if the burglar did not gain entry to your home. Door handle repairs are important, too. When they begin to have problems, if those problems are not attended to promptly, they’ll get worse. Eventually the door handle can fail to operate at all. In some situations that could be dangerous, so it is something you should treat as a serious problem needing attention as soon as possible.

Door lock repair is also made necessary when inferior components are used to manufacture the door lock. Reputable manufacturers such as Assa Abloy and Lockwood can be relied on to use quality components in their products. Manufacturers that try to cut costs will use lower quality materials and that can cause the products to fail more quickly. We recommend replacing inferior quality locks if your builder has installed them, because they are not safe for your family. Bad locks cannot be relied on.

The most frequent problems occur in UPVC windows and doors, but they can happen to just about any glass or sliding door. The difference between other services and Exitoso is that we will search for the cause of your issue, making sure that you have a reliable repair and the information to prevent a repeat occurrence.
Common Causes of Door Lock Damage
Some of the most common causes we see are:
- An attempted break in has left your window/door strikes misaligned.Unfortunately, the perpetrator doesn’t need to have successfully gained entry to cause your property damage! It’s important to fix these problems quickly as they may leave you vulnerable to repeat attacks.
- Incorrect initial installation/adjustment requiredSometimes the original fitter makes a mistake, sometimes the frame has shifted slightly. Either way if your window or door isn’t in the correct position you will need a professional adjustment to prevent any further issues.
- Mechanical failureIf the locking mechanism, cylinder or the hardware has worn or broken, this may be simple aging of the part or it could be operator error. Faulty parts will have to be replaced and we can advise you on how to protect your new mechanism.
- Poor quality original lockIt’s unfortunate but true, you get what you pay for. Our expert can make sure your new lock is up to the task
- Something is physically blocking the lockWhether misadventure of a toddler, or sheer misfortune, sometimes items or debris end up inside locks causing them to jam. This is often an easy repair, rather than a replacement.
- The handle has been forced whilst in the ‘lock’ positionExtremely common in UPVC doors and windows. The mechanisms for the locks on windows and doors can be extremely delicate, particularly those that have the dual feature of opening two ways. If the handle has been forced into position, this can break the lock and a replacement will be required.
