Old Isleworth's riverside cottages and the Georgian terraces around Spring Grove need patience and a proper feel for a period mortice lock, not brute force. The newer housing near Syon and Osterley is a different job again, usually a straightforward cylinder swap, and Mason's just as comfortable at either end of that spectrum.
Isleworth has some of the oldest housing on Mason's patch down by the river, and that comes with locks that were made to be repaired. Where a period mortice lock can be serviced and kept, he'll say so, and he'll only suggest replacing it when the mechanism is genuinely worn past saving.
