Architectural
Hardware that belongs to the building.
For architects, builders and owners of character homes, hardware is part of the design. We restore heritage mortice locks, integrate smart locks cleanly, and build keying schedules that suit complex architectural projects — matching function to the building's intent.

Straight Answers
Common questions
Which smart lock brands do you fit?
We work with a range of mechanical-electronic and connected locks. We'll recommend options that suit your door thickness, handing and whether you need app, keypad or fob access.
Can you restore locks in a heritage-listed home?
Yes. We restore period mortice and rim locks where possible, re-keying them to modern keys while keeping the original hardware. We can advise on heritage-sensitive approaches.
Do you work with builders and architects?
Regularly. We provide hardware schedules, keying plans and on-site fitting during construction, and coordinate with other trades on the door package.
Can old and new locks work on the same key?
Often yes. Where hardware allows, we can integrate restored heritage locks with new cylinders on a common key or master system.
