Nightlatch Replacement in Wolverhampton WV2
JR Locksmiths recently attended a property in Wolverhampton City Centre, WV2, where a nightlatch and lock needed replacing. Richard removed the old lock and fitted a new nightlatch, leaving the customer with a secure and properly working front door.
The replacement lock was supplied with five keys, which can be particularly useful for households where several people need their own key. Once fitted, the nightlatch was checked to make sure the door opened, closed and locked correctly.
This is the sort of everyday residential work carried out by our local locksmith in Wolverhampton , alongside lock repairs, replacement locks and help when a lock suddenly fails.
What Was Completed?
The job involved replacing the existing lock with a new nightlatch and checking the complete setup once the new hardware was fitted.
Work Completed
- Existing lock removed
- New nightlatch fitted
- Five keys supplied
- Lock and door operation tested
- 12 month warranty on supplied parts
- No separate call out charge
A lock replacement is not finished simply because the new lock is attached to the door. The position of the nightlatch and keep also matters. The door needs to close properly and the latch needs to engage as intended without unnecessary force.
Fitting and Testing the New Nightlatch
After fitting the replacement nightlatch, Richard tested the door to check that the new lock operated correctly. This includes checking the latch action and making sure the door can be opened, closed and secured normally.
Proper fitting is important with a surface mounted nightlatch. If the lock and keep do not meet correctly, the door can become awkward to close or the latch may not engage as smoothly as it should.
Five New Keys Supplied
Five keys were supplied with the new lock, giving the customer a useful number of spares without needing to arrange additional copies immediately after the work.
When Should a Nightlatch Be Replaced?
Not every nightlatch problem means the complete lock needs replacing. Sometimes a problem can be diagnosed and repaired, while in other situations replacement is the more sensible option.
Homeowners often contact Richard when a lock becomes difficult to operate, a key no longer works properly, the latch starts sticking or they simply want the existing lock changed. A lock change can also be considered after moving into a property when you do not know who may still have copies of the old keys.
