The buildings and the hardware
Wayne’s buildings bring a mix of older solid wood doors and more recent slab doors, and that affects what we see on the latch side. Old homes often have mortise locks, rim cylinders, and heavier strike plates that need parts not commonly found in modern sets; apartments and newer construction lean toward bored cylindrical locks and latch assemblies that fit a standard prep. That changes the parts we bring: mortise spindles, faceplates, full-size cylinders for vintage locks, or modern deadbolts and reinforced strikes for newer frames. Door thickness, keyed-alike needs, and whether trim is brass or painted all guide the hardware choice.
