What goes wrong
We work on the commercial locks that give managers trouble: cylinders that bind, mortise locks with worn levers, panic bars that won’t latch, keypads that ignore codes after weather or vandalism. When a loading dock door won’t deadbolt or a storefront lock turns without catching, we assess the hardware: what’s hollow or thin, what’s a long-throw deadbolt with a reinforced strike, what needs a new spindle or tailpiece. In Spring House and nearby offices we talk through the failure mode, then plan a repair or replacement with the actual parts and measurements in hand.

What the job involves
On site we carry the tools and stock that let us change cylinders, rekey cores, adjust or replace exit devices, and fit surface or mortise strikes. For access control we handle the keypad wiring, reader mounting, and the electric strike or mag lock interface into the existing door frame and power source. If a master key system is needed we pin and code cores on location, label the keys and record the bow and code so you can track which key opens which group of doors.

Good to know
While we travel from our Havertown base to Spring House or to another Montgomery County job, the best use of time is for you to secure the area and gather access details. Point out which doors are on the same keying group, show the door handing and whether the frame is wood or metal, and tell us if the door has a closer, threshold, or reinforced plate. If keys are lost, isolate the affected doors and collect any working keys you still have so we can test cores and avoid unnecessary drilling or replacement.
04
Worth knowing
Have ready a copy of any keying plan or access list, a contact who can sign for replacements, and the type of power available for electric strikes or mag locks. If the door is part of a suite or shared corridor, let us know who else we should coordinate with and which entrances must remain secure during the work. We carry common cylinder profiles, mortise parts, exit device components, and keypad modules, and when we describe what we recommend we explain the mechanical action and the installation steps so you know exactly what will be done.
