Local knowledge
The Leichhardt version of this job
Leichhardt is terrace and semi country, and on a terrace the front door does all the work — it opens straight onto the footpath, and it is the only door on the property with a lock anyone has ever bothered to upgrade. A seized heritage mortice on a Flood Street terrace leaves you standing on a public footpath with nowhere to go.
Norton Street's kitchens and bars empty out well after midnight, and the people locked out at that hour are usually staff heading home to a terrace two streets back, or residents who pulled a self-latching front door shut behind them on the way out. It is the difference between arriving at Norton Street with the right cylinder on board and arriving with a catalogue.
Original four-panel front doors with rim locks and mortice sets are still common, often on timber too old or too thin to take a modern cylinder without care. The newer Parramatta Road and Norton Street apartment buildings run intercoms and fobs instead. We see the same pattern right across Leichhardt and through Annandale and Lilyfield, so nothing about a Leichhardt call is a surprise.

On the ground
What a Leichhardt call actually looks like
