The buildings and the hardware
The built environment here affects the hardware you see on jobs. Many houses and older apartment buildings still have wooden doors with mortise-style locks, rim locks or set screws, and those doors are often warped or have narrower stile frames that need fitting work. Newer multifamily buildings and strip storefronts tend to use bored cylindrical locks or aluminum-framed storefront hardware, which requires different cylinders, trim and occasionally multipoint latching. That variety means we bring a selection of cylinders, strike plates and latch assemblies so replacement parts fit the existing door without forcing a remodel.
