Double Bay context
What door handle & lock replacement looks like in Double Bay
Double Bay apartment owners typically use specialty hardware (Olivari, FSB, occasionally bespoke) sourced through Sydney importers. Replacement requires identifying the original supplier and matching exactly — generic substitutes are visible. Lead times for imported parts are typically 2-4 weeks. We mask and protect adjacent finishes during fitment; vinyl floor protection from entry to door.
Recent Double Bay job

Our process — same standard, every booking

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.
