Repair a difficult door before adding electronic entry
If a door needs a hard pull to lock or the latch does not catch, explain that separately from the rekey. We can assess door and hardware repairs alongside a key change. A new key does not correct every physical problem in the opening.
For an exposed entrance, choose hardware for its stated application and the actual mounting location. An indoor-looking or exterior-looking finish is not enough to decide suitability. Tell us which existing trim you want to keep before replacement is proposed.
We also provide smart lock installation. Decide whether you need code entry, compatible phone access or remote management, then assess the model against the door and household setup. The owner should retain control of the administrator account.
If the connected lock has a physical backup cylinder, review those keys separately from digital users. Changing a PIN does not retire a metal key. A complete handover considers each entry method the property actually uses.
