A landlord in Slough got in touch because his tenant was having problems with the front-door nightlatch and wanted it replaced.
The rim lock was becoming a little hit-and-miss, although the rest of the old nightlatch was still functioning.
Because the landlord had already decided to replace the lock, we discussed what to fit rather than spending time trying to extend the life of the existing unit.
He chose to upgrade to a British Standard nightlatch.
I had a suitable replacement in van stock, removed the old lock and fitted the new one during the visit.
A few adjustments were needed to the door and frame so the new latch and keep lined up correctly.
After testing from both sides, the new nightlatch was operating smoothly and consistently.
