4 Vintage Lock Problems and Solutions

Do you have an older home with vintage locks? Read on to find out how I can help you.

  • Lost the key to your vintage door? I probably have a replacement key for you!

  • Are your locks difficult to open? Your house has probably experienced settling, thus the door and striker plate (door frame) are misaligned. You don’t need a new lock!

  • Your older home striker plate (door frame) probably has 1” screws which can be easy prey to a burglar looking to pry your door open.

  • Is your vintage doorknob and lock broken and you can’t find parts? I can make many of the replacement lock parts.
