The buildings and the hardware
The buildings in Pottsgrove shape the hardware issues we see. Many houses have older, wooden doors and jambs that have shifted over time, so strikes and longer screws are common fixes; you’ll see split paint, old frames, and mortise pockets that need careful fitting. Apartment buildings bring keyed-common areas and master-keyed suites, which means cylinder compatibility and stamp-key control matter. Storefronts use heavier commercial hardware: surface-mounted closers, exit devices, auxiliary deadbolts that wear from public use. Those differences change whether a job is a simple cylinder swap or a door refurbishment that requires matching parts and careful alignment.
