Types of Locks and Latches We Service
We handle a variety of locks and latches used in homes and businesses. Our services cover different locking mechanisms to ensure security and ease of use. Each type requires specific knowledge and tools for effective repair or replacement.
Window Locks and Mechanisms
We service standard window locks such as sash locks, cam locks, and keyed locks. These locks secure windows to prevent forced entry and improve safety. Over time, parts may wear out or break, causing windows to remain unlocked or hard to open.
Repairs often involve replacing broken handles, faulty locking rods, or worn cams. We also deal with mechanisms like crank handles on casement windows. In replacement cases, we use exact or compatible parts to keep your windows secure.
Sliding Door Locks
Sliding door locks require precise handling to ensure both security and smooth sliding motion. We work on basic latch locks and more advanced keyed locks for patio doors. Malfunctions like misalignment, jammed locks, or broken keys are common.
Our team adjusts lock alignment, replaces handles, or changes cylinders to bring your sliding doors back to full function. We also service flush bolts or track locks, which add extra security.
Multi-Point Locking Systems
Multi-point locking systems secure doors at multiple points simultaneously, providing high security. We repair and replace these complex systems on front doors and patio doors. These locks often include hooks, bolts, and rollers that engage together.
We check each locking point for wear or damage. Fixing multi-point systems can involve adjusting internal linkages or swapping out entire lock sets if needed. Proper function is critical because the system works as one unit.
Our Service Process
Our service process is designed to make repairing or replacing your locks and latches smooth and efficient. We focus on understanding your needs, performing careful on-site work, and ensuring lasting quality with proper follow-up.
Consultation and Assessment
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand the issues you face with your locks or latches. During this step, we ask detailed questions about the type of lock, its age, and any specific problems like jamming or key difficulties.
We also perform a physical assessment of your door or window hardware. This helps us identify wear, damage, or misalignment that could affect security or function. Our goal is to provide clear advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option.
On-Site Repairs and Replacements
Once we have a clear understanding, we schedule on-site service at your convenience. Our technicians bring all the necessary tools and replacement parts to handle most repairs and replacements in one visit.
We carefully remove damaged components and install new hardware that matches your existing style and security needs. We check alignment and test each lock or latch to ensure it works correctly before we leave.
Quality Assurance and Follow-Up
After completing the work, we review the installation with you. We make sure you understand how to use and maintain your new or repaired locks and latches.
We also offer a follow-up service to check on performance and address any issues. This helps maintain your safety and ensures your hardware continues to function properly over time.
Choosing the Right Replacement Hardware
When replacing locks or latches, we consider the purpose and location carefully. Different doors and windows need different types of hardware for proper security and ease of use.
We focus on matching the new hardware to your existing setup. This means checking the size, style, and function to make sure it fits well and works smoothly.
Here are key factors we keep in mind:
- Durability: Hardware must withstand daily use and weather conditions.
- Security level: Choose options that meet your safety needs.
- Ease of operation: It should open and close without sticking.
- Style: Hardware should match the look of your home or business.
We use a variety of hardware types, such as deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, and sliding window latches. Each has specific features and benefits.
We also advise on materials like brass, steel, or aluminum. Our goal is to select hardware that lasts and fits your style.
