A small adjustment goes a long way. We tune hinges plane minor door rubs set proper clearances and align strikes so locks latch cleanly. This is a big help in neighborhoods with older doors that swell after rain.

Repair Rekey or Replace

Not sure which option you need We will walk you through it on site but here is a simple guide.

• Repair Best if the lock body is in good shape and only one or two parts are worn or misaligned. Example your deadbolt sticks every August because the door swells or a set screw keeps loosening.
• Rekey We change the pins inside the cylinder so old keys no longer work. Best if you moved in lost a key or need to control who has access without buying new hardware. We can often rekey locks to match one key across multiple doors.
• Replace Best if the lock is severely worn unsafe or damaged during a break in. Also smart if you want to upgrade to a higher grade or smart model. If a lock has been drilled badly corroded or the mechanism is cracked replacement makes more sense.

Picture this. You just closed on a house in the Heights with three different keys for three different doors. Rekeying them all to one key saves headaches. Or your townhouse in Midtown had a break in. We can replace the deadbolt with a stronger model and reinforce the frame that same day.
