Locks, closers & hardware.
Small components. A noticeable difference.
A slamming closer, loose handle, or latch that misses the strike may look like a small fault, but it affects everyone using the entrance. We check the component, its fit, and how the door operates before recommending compatible hardware.
Start with a description. The scope, price, and timing are confirmed before you agree to the work.
What the repair
needs to account for.
- 01Locks, latches, and handles
- 02Door closers and hinges
- 03Compatible replacement hardware
The right approach depends on the existing opening, material, and condition. Assessment establishes the options, scope, and timing; you review the plan before proceeding.

Questions about door hardware.
Closing, latching, and locking each have a part to play.
Ask about your repair01Why does my door closer slam instead of closing smoothly?
Possible causes include incorrect adjustment, lost hydraulic fluid, or internal damage. The door and closer should be checked together. A leaking or damaged closer may require replacement rather than another adjustment.
02Can an oil-leaking door closer be repaired by adjusting it?
An adjustment does not replace lost hydraulic fluid or repair a failed seal. Have the closer assessed for replacement or a manufacturer-supported repair. Avoid assuming that tightening an adjustment will resolve a leak.
03Does a door closer also lock the door?
A closer controls the door as it returns toward the frame. The latch and locking hardware secure it. These parts must work together; a door can appear shut while its latch has not engaged.
04Can I replace a lock, hinge, or closer with any similar-looking part?
Appearance alone does not establish compatibility. Door weight, fixing positions, handing, function, and any rated assembly requirements matter. Identify the existing hardware and opening before buying replacements.
05Why does the lock work with the door open but not when it is shut?
That can indicate interference between the bolt or latch and the frame or strike. It does not by itself prove the lock is faulty. Describe whether you must push, pull, or lift the door to secure it.
