I know things in london r expensive but come on to charge £20 to change a lock is rediculous, especially from a carpenter that tends to be rather incompetent. Nehoo i was like i got a fiver for him and if he didnt want it he should buzz off, he was like fine, he'll go but when i call him back,(he was so certain i would), that it would be £30.
I'm like piss off man and i went to the room, got out the tool box that had been collecting dust these past years, cleaned them up and got down to business.
Ok so i only had a flat and star screwdriver, a tape rule, a scissor and a hammer. BUT i was determined. And as far as i was concern that was good enough.
I took out the broken lock, that was easy, taking things apart is a hobby, ask my mum, my pet name as a kid was baseje (means destroyer in yoruba) teehee, what can i say, its fun. Nehoo,
i took out the old lock, and started installing the new one. NB those who know me know i NEVER, read the instructions. NEVER!! So dudish im sure but u know wot, dts just me.
Now installing the new lock should have been easy but.. with those miserably tools it took me 2hrs. but lordy i did it and thats all it cost me, 2hrs, and some swollen biceps which i have to go ice up now..(wailing) oooooo my aching biceps...lol

Hi.
I've changed about 3 locks in my lifetime, it took me about 3hours the first time i did one, i accidently put in a part wrong had to take it down and redo it. The last one i did took about half an hour, so it gets easier if you ever have to change one again.
yep, guess its true practice make perfect,, or somin like dt
Lol...babe this JD is all about the DIY o!
We have a cooker thats supposed to be changed to a new one and its gonna cost us £100 quid to do that. Can you imagine?
Psheew
And the instructions thing...I never read it either...I feel I'm too smart for that
At least you did it babes....
£20 is a pair of shoes at barratts...well maybe if u add £5...lol
