Can you replace a deadbolt on my exterior door if the cylinder is stuck or damaged?
We remove the old deadbolt, extract the damaged cylinder and fit a new cylinder and bolt assembly on the same door. We check the backset, door thickness and strike plate alignment, make any needed minor adjustments so the bolt operates smoothly, and secure the hardware before we leave the job site.
I want to change all the locks after moving into a house, so what do I need to do?
We can remove your existing knobs, levers and deadbolts and install new units keyed the same or keyed differently, depending on what you want. We measure backset, bore size and door thickness, adapt or replace strike plates as necessary, and confirm each new lock turns cleanly. We handle everything at the door where the lock is.
Will replacing a mortise lock affect my door frame or trim?
A mortise lock sits in a pocket cut into the edge of the door; replacing it usually fits into the existing pocket. If the new lock has different dimensions, we make minimal adjustments to the pocket, reinforce the strike if needed, and protect trim and finish while we work on the door at your location.
