Door lock repair
₹350

Kacheguda has some of the oldest continuously-lived-in buildings in the city, with a lot of Nizam-era houses around Chappal Bazaar and Nallagutta still using their original heavy wooden doors. Working on these doors takes a different skill set — you don't replace hardware, you restore it, and you don't plane down a warped panel without understanding what's causing the warp. Our senior carpenters handle the heritage work personally, and we deliver same-day service across Kacheguda for bookings confirmed before 4 PM.

The typical Kacheguda heritage door is a heavy double-shutter panelled wooden door with brass fittings. When these doors drop or drag it is rarely the panel — it is the frame moving with the building or the original hinges (often riveted, not screwed) working loose. We reset original brass hinges wherever possible, replace only when the pin has genuinely failed, and re-cut the hinge seat cleanly. Restoration hinge work starts at ₹499 per hinge because of the extra care required.
For newer flats in the Kacheguda railway station area, mortise lock repair is ₹350 and replacement from ₹450. On heritage doors we generally don't replace the original mortise lock even if it's stiff — we clean, lubricate and file the strike plate so the original lock keeps working. If the original key is lost, we can cut a new key to the existing lock rather than replacing the whole mechanism.
Kacheguda's older frames sometimes have termite damage at the base — the top of the frame looks solid but the bottom six inches is hollow. We probe the frame before quoting, and if termite damage is confirmed we do a splice repair with treated timber (₹599 per side) rather than replacing the whole frame. For active termite infestations we recommend a pest treatment first before doing wood repairs.
In the newer buildings near the station approach and MJ Market, new door installation is the standard modern job — flush door for bedrooms (₹800 labour), WPC panel for bathrooms (₹350 labour), engineered door for main doors (₹800 labour). You supply the door or we can source it with the carpenter on the same visit.
