Everyone says 'replace the door'. Options?** A: Keep the door — it's better built than anything sold today. Mortise mechanisms disassemble, clean, and rebuild; worn ones swap for period-correct replacements that fit the existing pocket. From $175, and the original hardware face stays on the door where it belongs. **Q: The deadbolt only locks if I lift the door handle while turning. Normal?** A: Common, not normal — the door has sagged so the bolt misses the strike pocket. Sometimes it's hinges, sometimes the strike needs moving, occasionally the jamb wood has gone soft. We find which, fix that ($175 hardware; frame wood from $475), and the bolt throws with one finger again. **Q: Someone kicked our door last night. The lock held but the frame cracked. Now what?** A: Call in the morning and it's usually secured the same day: cracked jamb wood cut out and rebuilt (from $475), strike reinforced, lock inspected or replaced ($175). The repaired assembly ends up stronger than the original — kicks concentrate on the jamb, and new laminated wood plus a proper strike beats builder pine. **Q: Do you service panic bars? The fire marshal flagged ours.** A: Yes — panic bars, closers and commercial exit hardware across Charlotte, serviced or replaced with written quotes. Code equipment can't wait for a distributor cycle, so flagged hardware gets priority scheduling. **Q: Sliding patio door takes two hands and a prayer to move. Hardware too?** A: That's rollers — $475, or $535 with new wheels — plus a track cleaning while we're in there. Ten-year-old sliders glide like new; nobody should be quoting you a five-figure door over worn rollers. **Q: How fast can you come out?** A: Hardware is our quickest trade: most jobs book within days, break-ins and flagged commercial hardware faster, and nearly everything finishes in a single visit. ## Serving Charlotte & Surrounding Areas From Fourth Ward brownstones with century-old mortise locks to Ballantyne storefronts with panic bars — one crew, one catalog, all of Charlotte.
