  • Can you please let me know who you choose and report back with results as I've a front door that needs hanging too with new locks and I'm in Catford.
    Often wondered whether this would be the preserve of a locksmith or a builder or both!

  • It's a carpenter or joiners job!

    I don't like doing them because new doors need a fair bit of time to settle in and they can warp due to the different interior/exterior temperature and humidity. Most doors should be stored on site for a while to acclimatise to the humidity and spring is a good time to fit them.

    I would say fitting a lock is easy if you are only aiming to do an average job! Since most locks in London seem to have been fitted by carpenters with blunt chisels.
