Local knowledge
Why rekeying and lock replacement looks different in Leichhardt
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.
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. It is the difference between arriving at Norton Street with the right cylinder on board and arriving with a catalogue.
Leichhardt is Victorian and Federation terraces, semis and workers' cottages, with newer infill apartments along Parramatta Road and Norton Street, and the hardware follows the era of the door. We see the same pattern right across Leichhardt and through Annandale and Lilyfield, so nothing about a Leichhardt call is a surprise.

How it works
Your rekeying and lock replacement visit in Leichhardt
