The buildings and the hardware
The built environment in this part of Philadelphia affects which locks fail and which procedures work. Many doors are older solid-wood or metal-clad units with narrower stiles and nonstandard backset dimensions; apartment entries and storefronts sometimes still use mortise locks or rim cylinders that need specific parts and skill. That history means we bring range: mortise sets, compatible deadbolts, varied strike plates and trim options. For landlords and tenants the frequent task is rekeying or converting an old mortise to a modern cylindrical deadbolt without cutting a new door, while maintaining correct clearance and door hardware alignment.
