What's involved

Hardware is the easiest part of a window or door to upgrade and the part most homeowners notice every day. We replace door handles (lever and knob types), window handles, restrictor stays, friction stays and any other small fitting that's worn out, broken, or just looks dated.

Most modern profiles fit straight into existing joinery without any drilling or modification — same screw centres as the original. We'll tell you up front if your joinery is one of the rare cases that needs adapter plates.

Why W&D Rescue for hardware

The handle on the front door is the first thing anyone touches when they visit. Worth getting right. We carry common profiles in stock and bring options for you to handle (literally) before deciding.

Common questions

Almost always — most modern profiles use the same screw centres as original NZ window/door hardware. We'll confirm fit before quoting.

Yes — coastal corrosion eats standard hardware in 5–10 years. We supply 316 stainless for anywhere within 1km of the sea.

We can usually source period-correct or sympathetic replacements. Bring us a photo of an existing handle and we'll match it.

Anywhere from $40 (basic window winder) to $250+ (premium front-door lever set). We quote firm.
