Bondi context
What door handle & lock replacement looks like in Bondi
Federation and Edwardian Bondi terraces typically have original or near-original brass mortice locks — replacing one needs careful prep so the original timber door isn't routed too aggressively. We re-key originals where possible, replace where parts have failed beyond repair. Art Deco flats commonly have Whitco or Lockwood from various decades; replacement parts are usually still in production. Modern Bondi apartments often have Yale or August smart-lock retrofits — we coordinate with the homeowner's app setup if needed.
Recent Bondi job
Recent: Wairoa Avenue terrace front-door brass mortice lock, original 1908. Re-keyed rather than replaced; cylinder cleaned, springs reset, original handle escutcheon refit. Two-hour job, original brass preserved.
Our process — same standard, every booking
- 1
Match the prep
Most replacement handles fit existing prep — we confirm before drilling.
- 2
Cut clean if needed
New deadlock prep is cut with a jig and forstner bit, not by eye.
- 3
Tune the door
Strike plate adjusted so the door closes cleanly into the latch.

Door Repair & Installation
A door that won't close properly is the most common Bondi callout we get — usually because timber moves with the salt air and old terraces shift on their footings. We rehang, plane, replace hardware, or fit new doors entirely.
Screen Door & Flyscreen Repair
Torn flyscreen mesh, dragging sliding flyscreens, screen doors that won't latch, hinges that have rusted off — all repairable. We re-mesh, replace hardware, and rebuild damaged frames in one visit.
Weatherstripping & Draught-Proofing
Older Bondi terraces and Art Deco apartments leak heat through doors, windows, and skirting gaps. We fit door seals, window weatherstrips, draught excluders, and gap-fill skirting — energy bill drops within a month.
General Handyman Services
The half-day visit that knocks out twelve small jobs at once — door realignment, picture hanging, tap washer, silicone resealing, blind fitting, dripping shower, sticking drawer. We cover the lot in one booking.
