Learn about Window and Door Hardware Installers
Hardware installers fit locks, hinges and handles to doors and windows, usually after the joinery is hung and before handover. In New Zealand the work often sits between the joiner and the painter, so timing matters: fittings go on once surfaces are finished, with time allowed for final adjustment after floor coverings are laid. Supreme Lock & Hardware appears in this category as an example of the professionals and suppliers working at this stage.

The practical detail is in the fixings. Match the driver bit to the screw head, and set the torque so the fixing seats without stripping or crushing a timber frame. Where a replacement handle uses a different lock case or fixing pattern from the old one, check the door thickness and existing holes before ordering, so repairs to the substrate are not discovered mid-installation.
When should hardware installers attend site?
After painting and joinery preparation are complete, but before handover so adjustments can be made. Agree the sequence with the builder rather than booking a fixed date.
What does hardware driver installation involve?
Using the correct driver bit and torque for each screw so fixings hold without damaging the door or frame. A worn or mismatched bit is the most common cause of chewed screw heads and loose hardware.
Can hardware on a fire-rated door be replaced?
Only with fittings confirmed as suitable for that door assembly. Check the rating requirements with the installer before removing anything.
