Replace Samsung digital lock with Samsung SHP-R80 (like-for-like swap)

$180

Paddington NSW, Australia

28th Apr 2026

Looking for an experienced smart lock installer to replace an existing Samsung digital door lock (screen has been worn down over the years by UV and use) with a NEW in box Samsung SHP-R80 push-pull smart lock. Important context: * Current lock is already a Samsung digital lock - however screen is old and whole lock needs replacing * Door is already cut for a Samsung mortise system * New lock uses the same type of mortise/footprint * This should be a straightforward like-for-like replacement Scope: * Remove existing Samsung lock * Install new SHP-R80 (new lock) * Ensure proper alignment (handle + latch smooth) * Test full functionality (lock/unlock, calibration) No major drilling expected - existing cut-out and mortise already in place. Location: Paddington 📍 Timing: Ideally on Friday 1st May. However there is flexibly - just need to confirm when you are available and we can try to align. Looking for: * Experience installing Samsung or similar smart locks (push-pull / mortise) * Clean, precise installation * Please mention relevant experience (photos are helpful) I’m looking for a clean and precise finish. No visible gaps, filler, or rough edges. The final installation should look seamless with no touch-ups required 🙏

Steven did an excellent job at replacing my Samsung digital Lock. Was very professional, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and self-sufficient. Nailed the job. Lock works perfectly and area was left tidy. With strongly recommend as a master locksmith

Need help fixing/replacing door handles on 3 doors

$200

Paddington NSW, Australia

20th Apr 2026

We have 3 door handles that need to be fixed/replaced (more likely replaced). Two of them are interior doors with old handles where the connecting screws are just stripped so they slip off. One is an outside gate latch that won't stay closed. Pictures of interior doors are here. This is probably a two part job: 1\ come over and see if you can fix what we have now in an easy way 2\ if not, order hardware that works for the doors and come back and install. If you can fix it all on the first shot reliably then we're happy to pay the full price for that. Apparently these are classic mortice lock + spindle door knob doors. We will pay for the hardware of course if anything needs to be purchased.
