Handyman/Locksmith/Anyone to change door lever
orangemonkey Sunday 17 February 2008 6.43am
Hello,
I stay around the london bridge area and the door lever of my door has came out. I have just ordered for a new lever and latch online, but will need someone to fix it/replace it. Can anyone recommend a cheap handyman/locksmith/anyone? I'm a student and have no DIY knowledge and cant afford to pay much. I have no idea how much such a service would usually cost, so any advice will be great (in case I get overcharged)

A locksmith will charge you £100 for changing the locks. (Outrageous)

There's a locksmith on Great Suffolk St (I think!) - why don't you pop in there for a quote or they may be able to recommend someone?

Is this just the handle and post or the whole lock mechanism? Either is pretty simple, just requiring a screwdriver.

I just received e handle today. The cheapest quotation I found to fit the handle costs 20 pounds. Is anyone here willing to do it for cheaper? :D

The handle on one side came out (incld the whole round thing?), so i bought a new set of lock and latch to replace it.I'm sorry I dont know how to describe. There's no locks required, so just replacing the handle. Er. I have no idea if drilling is required or anything? :S
Thanks for all the replies btw. :)
