Why lock alignment matters
A lock can be “new” and still fail if the door is misaligned. We fix the door first so the hardware works properly.

- Noise from outside

Our Step-by-Step Process
- You send photos/video of the door opening/closing (and the lock area)
- We diagnose the cause (hinges, frame, latch alignment, seals)
- We confirm the fix + materials (hardware, weatherstripping type)
- We complete the repair/installation with clean finishing
- We test and walk through: smooth close, proper latch, secure lock
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make (and How to Avoid Them)
✅ Replacing the lock without fixing alignment
If the door is sagging, a new deadbolt won’t line up either.
✅ Over-tightening or using the wrong screws
This can strip holes and worsen hinge issues.
✅ Ignoring drafts
Small gaps turn into higher energy bills and comfort problems
✅ Choosing hardware that doesn’t fit the door
Backset and door thickness matter. We confirm compatibility before install.
✅ Example (Anonymized)
A homeowner in Reseda had an exterior door that wouldn’t latch consistently and let in drafts. The deadbolt also felt stiff. We realigned the door, adjusted the strike plate, replaced worn weatherstripping, and ensured the deadbolt operated smoothly. The door closed cleanly, locked securely, and the draft issue improved.
