Recent Lock Work Around Columbus

These photos come from our own jobs, sorted by the kind of work, so you can see the range of locks and doors we take care of around Columbus.

Every lock job looks a little different. An old mortise set on a painted wood door asks for one kind of care, and a glass storefront door asks for another. We’ve grouped our photos the way the work comes to us: repairs, installations, maintenance, business doors and urgent calls.

Worn and Sticking Locks Put Right

A repair keeps the hardware you already have and fixes what has worn, slipped or packed up with grime. Here that means an old brass mortise set on a red front door, a grimy latch on a steel door and a deadbolt cylinder with its key in it.

  • Old brass mortise lock escutcheon with a keyhole and knob hole on a red-painted wood door
  • Thumb pressing the latch bolt back into the edge of a steel door, grime around the lock opening
  • Satin nickel deadbolt with a brass key in the cylinder on a cream-painted door

Rekeying, pulling out broken keys and fixing worn cylinders, mortise sets and storm door hardware are all part of our lock repairs.

New Locks Where the Old Ones Gave Out

When a lock is past fixing, or a door needs something it never had, we fit new hardware. One job shows a brass deadbolt and matching knob on a white six-panel door; the other shows the inside of a keypad deadbolt above a lever on an entry door.

  • Brass deadbolt above a matching brass knob on a white six-panel door, tile floor inside
  • Inside of a keypad deadbolt with its thumb turn, above a square-rose lever handle on a white entry door with a frosted glass panel

Deadbolts, keypad and smart locks, and replacement knobs and levers come under our installations and replacements.

Hardware Kept in Good Order

Maintenance catches small trouble before it turns into a lockout. This overhead door holder on a steel door shows the dust and wear that build up on hardware that opens and closes all day without anyone giving it a second look.

  • Overhead door holder arm on a gray steel door, its channel dusty and worn

Cleaning and lubricating aging locks and adjusting strike plates and hinges are the heart of our maintenance and inspections.

Shop and Office Doors

Business doors take far more traffic than a front door at home, and they often carry hardware a house never needs. Here you’ll see a lever and thumb turn on an aluminum storefront door, and a steel lock box on the diamond-plate back door of a commercial kitchen.

  • Curved lever handle and thumb turn on the edge of an aluminum storefront glass door
  • Steel lock box bolted to a diamond-plate metal door at the back of a commercial kitchen

Storefront locks, exit devices and master key systems for small offices all fall under our commercial lock work.

When a Door Can’t Wait

Some calls come after the damage is done. This brass knob was drilled straight through during a forced entry, and a door in that shape needs new hardware before it can be locked again.

  • Brass doorknob drilled through the center, torn metal around the hole, on a gray panel door

Lockouts, lost or stolen keys and doors left unsecured after a break-in are all urgent service calls.
