Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
A mortise-lock assessment checks the case, springs, levers and key operation. Ask whether worn components can be serviced and matched, or whether a compatible replacement case is needed. Confirm how existing door joinery will be preserved.
What may be involved
- case springs and followers
- lever packs
- skeleton and bit key blanks
- period-pattern replacement case if needed
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Colonialtown South
Building history
Colonialtown South lies in or beside the Colonialtown South local historic preservation district, designated in 2000 by the City of Orlando. The city states that before any exterior changes are made to a property there, a Certificate of Appropriateness must first be issued by the Historic Preservation Board; the city's minor-review list includes window replacement, doors and garage doors, roofs and mechanical systems, and the certificate comes before applying for the building permit. District boundaries follow named streets rather than neighbourhood names, so confirm with city planning whether a specific address is inside the district.
