Hello

at the end we manage to replace the lock, but prosafe is juz a close match but not a fit to our old lock . "lucky" brand

had to use back old nail, use back old & resize the copper part. adjust the nails.

however the dead bolt is giving us problem cause the front part was extend with a metal block while pro safe did not come with any

anyone happen to know how to overcome this??

My house is using the LUCKY Brand

I need to change it now and is interested in Pro Safe since it fit in good.

Anyone can recommend a handy man who can do the job for us?

Actually, if you are a hands-on person, you can replace it yourself. Took us about 20mins to remove the existing "lucky" brand one and replaced it with the Pro-Safe one. Tools you may need: + screw driver, screw anchors and probably a small wood chisel in case the cavity in the door is a little tight.

Alternatively, you can look up HDB's website for some contractors that does these handy jobs at: http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10324p.nsf/w/HomeMaintGettingHelp?OpenDocument
