Digital Lock Fitted in Sengkang

The owner had been lifting the handle twice to get the door to latch for about a year, which is what a dropped door and a worn mortice look like together.

The old lock came out, the door edge was made good where the previous plate had been chased too deep, and the hinges were packed to bring the leaf back onto its line before anything new went on.

Only then did the digital lock go in. Fitting one to a door that has dropped is how you end up with a lock that works for a month — the motor drives the bolt into the frame instead of the keep, and it gives up.

Handed over locked, unlocked, and tested on the keypad, the card and the app.
