I know these are crap locks and therefore taken from service. But I am not happy to change gearbox for another. It is fitted to wooden door so not an easy retrofit.

Does anyone know where I can get a complete strip. 35mm bs 620 mm to top hook 730 mm to bottom hook L/d l/l 2 hooks only nothing else uses shoot bolts.
Not sure how you feel about Yale doormaster professional but it will do the job I'm sure.

With wooden doors, ever since they altered the trigger mechanism and also redesigned the centre keeps French company went bust and ferco took up the general design I found that I had to reposition the keeps ie router new positions so now when faced with a wooden door I am less concerned re like for like if it simply means repositioning keeps.

My tip then is if you have a wooden door with an inferior mechanism likely to repeat failure then put in a decent one even if you have to reposition keeps etc.

The right thing to do in this instance is upgrade the dam thing to the new GU. I don’t give the customer the option of a cheap repair, I take the strip out and show him / her the back of the lockcase that looks evidently broken.

In fact locksmith Pimlico I tell them before I remove it what they are likely to see which just reassures them I know what I am talking about. They are going to pay me for opening the door in any case so I get my labour charge but I always quote for a full mechanism and in 8 years have only had one person not take up the advice.

It’s ok to maximise your profit in these instances, it’s not misguiding the punter IMO. Even if I went out to one that was already open, quoted, the customer declined so I walked away then so what, that’s one job and a potential loss of £55 against all the £180 upgrades I have done.

I'd already decided to change the whole mpl, as you suggested, because the customer has given me good business in the past, he's a landlord, and I didn't want to let him down.

Personally, I've learnt a lot from this thread - the temporary fix I'd done was acceptable, the correct replacement part and the work I'll have to do to fit it.

Squaring the strip rebate instead of trying to round the ends of the strip, a useful overnighter, new source of parts, and I get to use my Aldridge account for the first time I set it up at the expo. Lots of great info.

I recall a couple of years ago locksmith Pimlico just swapped out for new mpl I tracked a supplier of the old style to France but cost plus postage put the mpl at over £100. From that point I simply use new versions as can do them cheaper albeit a little extra work.
