Commercial & Residential Door Hardware Specialist
Hardware Repair, Installation, Sales and Lockouts
I can help you gain entry, and help with broken mechanisms, worn cylinders, doors that don't latch: I diagnose the problem and give you options. Sometimes it's a $15 part and ten minutes of work and on the other end perhaps the whole lockset needs replacing. I'll tell you which (show you why if you prefer) and source quality hardware to get your door functioning smoothly. If you're a property manager juggling multiple buildings or a homeowner who just wants the back door to work properly, I stock common parts and can usually handle it same visit.Commercial Hardware
In addition to all standard hardware, I furnish/install/retrofit, ADA and code compliant replacement hardware, door closers, continuous hinges for aluminum doors, other door accessories, and can install a client's own hardware.Master Key Systems
Whether you're starting from scratch or inheriting a system that's been frankensteined over the years, I can design or maintain master key hierarchies that make sense for how your building actually operates. Need maintenance staff to access mechanical rooms but not offices? Different access levels for managers vs. general staff? I'll map it out, document everything clearly, and have many regular key cabinets or specialized to meet your needs.High Security Hardware & Restricted Keyways
For situations where key control actually matters - you can't just walk into a hardware store and get copies made. Restricted keyway systems mean you control duplication through me, with proper authorization. Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Kaba, and more. I'll recommend what fits your security needs and budget, install it correctly, and set you up to maintain your key records securely so you're not gambling on who has access.
Rekeying
New house, lost keys, ended a bad roommate situation, or just want to know who has access - I'll rekey your existing locks so the old keys no longer work. If you've got multiple exterior doors, I can key them alike so you're not fumbling through a ring. Rekeying is typically more cost-effective than full replacement, but I carry basic options and can install anything purchased from a big box store and up in quality.Antique & Modern Hardware
From antique mortise locks in older homes to modern deadbolts showing risky levels of wear, I repair and install across the full spectrum of residential hardware. For restoration projects, I source period-appropriate parts or adapt what exists. If you just need something reliable that matches your door, I can help.Electronic Locks
I can supply and install, or install correctly what you've already bought. Works well for Airbnbs, those of us who lose keys often, people tired of hiding spares around, or just getting into the house that much faster and the peace that comes with it.Strike Plate Reinforcement & Other Accessories
I install reinforced strike plates with 3” screws anchored into the framing, to give your deadbolt the best chance at preventing a kick-in. I install wrap-around plates for reinforcing weak or damaged doors. Door stops, peep holes, screen door closers, mailbox keys, padlocks, etc...
