The Door Keeps Its Character
Mortise & Modern
Mortise Lock Repair — the Old-Charlotte Specialty
Dilworth, Myers Park, Plaza Midwood — Charlotte's older homes run on mortise locks: the big rectangular boxes set into the door edge, engineered decades ago and worth keeping. When one jams or the latch stops throwing, most locksmiths quote a rip-out and a modern bore. We repair or replace the mortise itself — the door keeps its face and its character.
- rebuilt or matched — from $175

Break-Ins Fixed Fast, Panic Bars Kept Legal
After a break-in, what's broken is usually concentrated at the hardware: pried lock, bent strike, splintered jamb. All of it repairs — usually same-day — so the house feels safe again by nightfall. Charlotte businesses: panic bars and door closers are code equipment; we service and replace them with written quotes and zero drama.

“Had 2 windows that needed repaired. Bith double pane windows One had a broken pane the other had a broken seal and was cloudy. The installer came to the house, removed the damaged windows, built new double pane windows, and installed them. No waiting for the factory to build and send them. No back and forth scheduling. All of it was done on the same day. Windows look great.”

Door Hardware Repair in Charlotte — FAQ
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.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Door Repair Visit
- 1
Photograph the door and the problem spot
Take one photo of the whole door and a close-up of the trouble area — the track, the handle, the glass, or the soft wood at the bottom. It lets us quote faster and bring the right parts.
- 2
Note what the door is doing wrong
Jot down the symptom — grinds or sticks on the track, won't lock or latch, drafts around the edges, fog or cracks in the glass, soft flaking wood at the bottom. It tells us whether it's hardware, a glass-only swap (from $198), or wood work.
- 3
Clear the doorway and a few feet on each side
Move mats, planters and furniture back from both sides of the door — most door work happens from inside and outside at once, and a clear opening keeps the visit quick.
- 4
Find any brand sticker or paperwork
Door brands hide their stickers on the edge or hinge side. If you spot one — or still have install paperwork — set it aside. Not required, but it helps us match rollers, locks and glass on the first trip.
- 5
Make sure we can reach the outside of the door
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the deck or patio path. With access to both faces of the door, nearly every repair finishes in a single visit.

The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
