We carried out lock and door repairs to the security doors at the Lindfield polling station, because the locks on them weren't suitable for Parliament New South Wales security settings.

The polling station was in a commercial building within the Lindfield shopping district, and the job was done before the last election. It's a hot site, which is why the locks had to meet those settings before the doors went into use. The work took six hours over two days.

Security doors in commercial buildings get opened and closed all day, so locks and door hardware wear and fall out of adjustment well before anything looks wrong from outside.

Local context

What building repairs and maintenance in Lindfield actually involves

Around the Lindfield shopping district, much of the building stock is commercial, so the work tends to be about keeping a working building secure, compliant and open for business.

Security doors and locks that suit the site

A lock that is fine on one building can be the wrong lock on another. About eight months ago, before the last election, we repaired the locks and doors on the security doors at the Lindfield polling station. It was a commercial building in the shopping district, and the existing locks weren't suitable for Parliament New South Wales security settings, as it was a hot site. The job took six hours over two days.

Matching the repair to the requirement

On commercial sites the repair has to meet a standard set by someone else, whether that's a security setting, a lease or an insurer. We start from what the site requires and work back to the fix, rather than swapping like for like.

Repairs on a commercial building are easier to get right when the requirement is known at the start. We'd rather ask what the site needs than guess, because a fix that doesn't meet the requirement just gets done twice.
