Door Adjustment After Heavy Rain in Malvern East

I recently attended a job in Malvern East near Darling Road where the customer could no longer open their door properly after a period of heavy rain. The door itself had not suddenly “broken”, but the surrounding frame had moved slightly due to moisture, ground movement and expansion around the property.

This is something that can happen after heavy rainfall, especially in older homes or properties where the foundations, timber frame, or surrounding structure shifts even slightly. Once the frame moves out of alignment, the latch, strike plate and lock no longer line up the way they should. The result is a door that sticks, jams, rubs on the frame, or refuses to open and close smoothly.

On this job, I inspected the door, checked where it was catching, and adjusted the alignment so the door could operate properly again. Rather than immediately replacing parts, the first step was to identify whether the issue was with the lock, the latch, the hinges, the strike plate, or the movement of the door frame itself.

In this case, the main problem was the frame movement after the rain. Once the door was adjusted correctly, the lock and latch were able to engage much more smoothly.

This type of job is a good reminder that not every lock problem is caused by the lock itself. Sometimes the lock is only showing the symptom of a larger door alignment issue. If your door suddenly becomes hard to open after rain, swelling, movement, or weather changes, it is worth having it checked before forcing the handle or key, as that can cause further damage.

Rekeying Over 20 Locks After a Break In

I recently attended a property after a break in where the thieves had gone around and checked every door. Most of the doors were locked, but they eventually found one that was not secured and used that as the entry point.

Once inside, they stole the car keys and house keys. At that point, the issue was no longer just the break in itself. The bigger security risk was that the offenders now had working keys to the property.

For this job, I had to rekey over 20 locks so the stolen house keys would no longer work. Rekeying means changing the internal pins inside the locks so they operate with a new key, without necessarily replacing the full lock hardware. It is often the best option when the locks are still in good condition, but the keys have been lost, stolen, or may be in the wrong hands.

This type of job shows why it is so important to act quickly after a burglary, especially if keys have been taken. Even if the doors are locked later, stolen keys can allow someone to come back and enter without damaging anything. Rekeying the locks removes that risk and gives the homeowner control of their property again.

It is also a reminder to check every entry point before leaving or going to bed. One unlocked door can undo the security of the rest of the property.
