Rough guide on cost

Simple adjustments and handle/lock swaps are usually the smaller end. Hanging a new internal door in an existing frame is typically in the $150–$350 labour range depending on trim, hardware, and access. Multi-door jobs are more efficient per door. I quote on site before I start.

Where I cover

Byron Bay home base, then Ballina, Tweed Heads, Brunswick Heads, Bangalow, Lismore, Lennox Head, Kingscliff — the small towns where local searches actually convert.

Handyman vs locksmith vs carpenter

For hanging internal doors and fitting standard hardware, a skilled handyman/carpenter is the right call. Call a locksmith for restricted keys, rekey systems, and lockouts. Call a builder for new openings or structural frame work. I’ll tell you which bucket you’re in.

Coastal doors need coastal clearances

Humidity around Byron, Ballina and the Tweed Coast makes timber move. I hang and seal with that in mind so you’re not back planing the same door every February.
