Panic Bar Repair and Residential Lock Upgrades
On the commercial job, the exit door was not opening correctly because the panic bar mechanism had moved out of position. We inspected the assembly, corrected the alignment and secured the components before testing the bar and door.
The photos show a dark metal-framed glass door with a horizontal push bar. One close-up shows the mechanism exposed during the repair, including its linkage and mounting screws. Other views show the hardware with its cover fitted back in place.
After the adjustments, we confirmed that pressing the bar released the door smoothly. Our commercial locksmith services include assessing malfunctioning exit devices and identifying the repairs needed for the existing hardware.
For a residential customer who had recently moved in, we replaced the old entrance locks with a Schlage handleset and matching deadbolt. We fitted the hardware to the door, prepared the lower mounting point for the handleset and checked the handle, deadbolt and keys.
The photo of this installation shows dark-finished hardware on a red paneled door. The round keyed deadbolt sits on a rectangular backplate above the handleset’s thumb-operated latch and pull handle. The coordinated pieces give the entrance a consistent appearance while providing the new homeowners with their own keys.
On another home, we installed a Schlage keypad deadbolt for a family who wanted to enter without relying on a physical key. We programmed the homeowner’s chosen code, tested the keypad and bolt repeatedly, and demonstrated how to use the lock.
That photo shows the numbered keypad and exterior thumbturn above a metal pull handleset on a white paneled door beside decorative glass. The keypad provides a practical way for family members to let themselves in, including children arriving home before the adults.
If you are changing your locks after a move, replacing worn hardware or considering keypad entry, we can assess your door and explain suitable options. Our mobile locksmith service brings us directly to your property for the inspection and installation.
