Locksmithing in Malvern, in practice
Malvern is period-home territory — Edwardian and interwar houses, many with their original doors and, more often than anyone would like, their original locks. Beautiful hardware, but a mortice lock installed ninety years ago was not designed against anything a modern opportunist does. Upgrading the cylinder while keeping the door furniture is usually the right answer, and it is a smaller job than people fear.
Family houses also mean multiple external doors and a garage that opens onto a rear lane. The side and rear doors are where the weak point almost always is: everyone secures the front and forgets the laundry.
The everyday calls are the ordinary ones. A key snapped in a stiff mortice, a door pulled shut with a toddler and a set of keys on the wrong side of it, and car keys lost somewhere along Glenferrie Road.
Every job, wherever it is: a price range on the phone, a firm figure before any tool comes out, non-destructive methods first, and a tax invoice afterwards. ABN 73 112 836 867, public liability insured.

Questions
Malvern questions
Can you improve an old mortice lock without replacing the door furniture?
In most cases, yes. The security lives in the cylinder and the bolt, not the handle. Upgrading the working parts while keeping the original brass is a common request in Malvern and it is usually straightforward.
My key snapped off in the front door. Is the lock ruined?
Usually not. A snapped key is normally extracted and the lock survives — though a key that snapped is often telling you the cylinder is worn and was taking too much force. Worth replacing the key rather than continuing with a copy of a copy.
Which doors should I actually be worrying about?
The ones you never think about. The laundry door, the garage personnel door, and the gate to the rear lane. Front doors are almost always the best-secured entry on a Malvern house, and almost never the one that gets used.
