Sticky cylinders, worn mortise locks, doors that need a shoulder to close. Repair often beats replacement, especially on older Upper East Side doors.
What this covers
- Mortise lock service and rebuilds
- Cylinder replacement and rekeying
- Vintage and brass hardware restoration
- Doors that rub, stick, or will not latch
Old hardware is our favorite kind
Prewar buildings run on hardware nobody stocks anymore. Between the counter inventory and the workbench, we keep original doors working instead of swapping them for something generic.
