Entry Lockset
How do I install a new door lock?
I want to replace my old, skeleton key bedroom door lock with a lock that it built into the knob. The only problem is the “latch” part of the new lock is too small to fit in the space where the existing latch is. Here are some photos to give you a better idea of what I mean :
The existing lock parts are similar to this

New lock parts are similar to this:

Your old lock is called a mortise lock. That is, it fits into a mortise or slot in your door. There is no way to combine parts of the old with the new – they work on different principles. I would say you have two options if you do not want to replace your whole door. First, you could remove the mortise lock set and fill the mortise with a block of wood sawn to the right size. Glue it in and use wood filler to mend any other holes in the door faces. You will want to fill the latch recess in the jamb as well – it will be the wrong size and height for your new lockset. You are going to have to repaint your door to cover up your patches. Now you can install the new lockset by following the manufacturer’s instructions. You will need a hole saw kit and drill to do a good job. Secondly, you could purchase a “door saver” kit. This is simply a formed plate stainless steel or brass fixture that wraps around your door edge and has all the right holes for you new lockset. It will cover up the holes where the mortise lock was without any patching. Door savers come in different sizes and are available at your locksmith or maybe even a big hardware store.
