Locked out, lost a key, or upgrading to a digital lock? Common jobs include a cylinder swap, full mortice replacement and digital-lock installation. The right scope depends on the HDB, condo, internal-door or gate type, thickness, fire-rating label and whether the existing cut-out matches the proposed lock.

FAQ

Can you install a digital lock I bought online?

Labour-only installation can be quoted after the model, door thickness, current cut-out and mounting photos are checked. Modification and patching are stated separately when the new lock does not match the existing hole pattern.

How long does a lock replacement visit take?

Visit time depends on the lock type, door material, current cut-out, access and whether modification is required. The written scope should state the expected work before booking.

Can an existing lock be re-keyed?

Some compatible cylinders can be re-keyed without replacing the full lockset. Send the cylinder and key photos so feasibility, supplied keys and price can be confirmed.

Can a lock be changed on a fire-rated HDB main door?

The proposed lock and any modification must be checked for compatibility with the labelled door and its required fire-safety performance. Send the door label, lock and edge photos before accepting a scope.

How is appointment availability confirmed?

Availability depends on the lock, required parts, access, location and current schedule. The coordinator confirms the offered slot and any visit or after-hours charge in writing.
