door frame

[ste_bla]

Basically wooden front door with wooden framework kicked open as keys lost. Now a good foot of the frame is buggered/split. So what would/should the fix be cut out a bit of frame or whole new frame. Also any idea on costs for a tradesman to do as don't have the time currently to do it!

Lastly the Yale lock is buggered so how much should one of those cost or better of replacing with a different brand?

Cheers

I had a similar situation and the frame never looked quite right after the split bit of wood was cut out and repaired with a new piece of wood.

Myself I'd go with another Yale lock, as well as an ERA standard fortress 5-lever sashlock.
