The buildings and the hardware
Lower Gwynedd’s building stock affects the hardware we see. Many homes have solid wood or metal-clad doors with older mortise or tubular latch sets, so we end up fitting new deadbolts, swapping rusted strike plates, or converting obsolete mortise hardware to modern cylindrical locks. There are also duplexes and small apartment buildings where keyed-alike suites or master-key setups matter, and a few small commercial storefronts with rim or exit-device hardware that needs routine attention. The variety means we carry both residential-grade and commercial-grade cylinders, different strike depths, and trim options to match existing doors.
