Replacing the Locks and Checking Door Alignment
Our technician carefully removed the existing locking hardware and inspected the door’s preparation. We checked the backset measurements and fit of the replacement components before installation, taking care to protect the door’s finish.
We installed and secured the new locking components, then adjusted the latch alignment with the strike plate for smooth operation. Proper alignment allowed the door to lock without forcing the key or pushing against the door.
Before completing the job, we tested the new keys, checked the deadbolt’s engagement, and verified locking and unlocking from both sides.
The homeowner received new keys for the replacement locks. The old keys no longer operated those locks, resolving his concern about copies that had not been returned.
