Rekeying Service
Often, many homes have mismatched locks, needing different keys for every entry. I can correct this for you.
Whether it is mismatching locks or the need to have a different key for security purposes, your existing locks can usually be rekeyed to a new or existing key using the locksets that you already have in place.
Lock Installations and Repairs
- New locks installed.
- Old locks repaired.
Entry locks should be reliable and easy to operate. Keys and thumbturns should operate the lock without binding. If you have to use any amount of force when unlocking your deadbolt or handle locks, they may need a little attention.
Door Repairs, Replacements and Alignments
Often, the trouble with door locks is that they are out of alignment with the door. This can cause the lock to be difficult to operate, sometimes preventing it from operating altogether.
A number of things can cause a door to become misaligned. Many people will mistakenly remount strike plates to overcome the misalignment, and this is usually the wrong approach. I will always do my best to decipher why your door is out of alignment, and most often this will only require a fairly quick and fairly simple procedure to correctly resolve it.
Most entry doors (and interior doors also) are able to be repaired. However, if you are wanting or needing a complete replacement, that can be done as well.
Lockout Service
Occasionally, accidental lock-outs do happen. The sensible solution is to regain access without causing damages, and sometimes that requires the services of a professional.
Ideally, you should take measures to prevent such a situation, see the Tips page.
