The problem with mega stores is the quality of their hardware materials, a lot of it is rubbish.
My Carpenter mate worked for a short time at a company that does maintenance on Schools, Kindergartens etc and he was saying his boss was one of these pennywise pound foolish blokes. If a door lock needed replacing he would tell the guys to go to Bunnings to get a replacement which was only Domestic rated and of course it didn't last and you would have to go back to replace it again. He said if he was in charge he would have gone to a locksmith to get a Commercial rated door lock.
