Doors, Locks & Hardware

How we approach doors, locks & hardware in Ottawa

Doors are the most reliable call in Ottawa because the climate guarantees them. Frames move through freeze-thaw, houses settle, and a door that closed fine in October drags on the latch side by February. Most of it is adjustment rather than replacement: shimming a hinge, moving a strike plate three millimetres, planing a lead edge, resetting a track that has come off its rollers. Lock work is the same idea applied to hardware — deadbolts that need the bore aligned rather than forced, smart locks that fail because the latch was never square to begin with. This is clean, fast, high-value work and it is the category we cover ourselves rather than sub out.
