“Replaced my very old and annoying mortise lock set quickly and professionally. Work was done within the estimate pricing, and the technician was nice. The messed up paint in the photo is not the result of the work - just the result of a bad painter years ago.”

FAQ
In most cases, yes. If the new cylinders take the same keyway as your current lock, we key them to your existing key so nothing on your keyring changes. Where the keyways are not compatible, we key the new locks alike to each other and cut you a single key that opens all of them.
The bolt is hitting the edge of the strike hole instead of entering it cleanly, which means the door has dropped, the frame has moved, or the strike was fitted slightly off from the start. Forcing it wears the bolt and the cylinder. We reset the hinges or reposition and deepen the strike so the bolt throws fully every time.
A straight replacement into an existing bore is usually well under an hour per door. It takes longer when the new hardware has a different backset or bore size, when the strike has to be moved and mortised, or when the door has dropped and the hinges need resetting before the lock will line up reliably.
