Historic Hardware Refinishing & Repair
We understand that historic homes have character — right down to the hardware. Original mortise locks, old-fashioned lever sets, and legacy latches give these homes their unique charm, but over time they often become sticky, worn, or non-functional.
That’s where we shine.
We refurbish and repair historic hardware so original pieces can look great and work smoothly:
-
Restore original mortise locks to full, reliable function
-
Repair worn or broken legacy hardware common in older homes
-
Realign, clean, and replace internal parts to extend service life
-
Refinish original knobs, levers, and plates to preserve historic character
In cases where repairs aren’t practical, we install new “legacy-style” hardware that’s built to match the aesthetics of historic homes — including mortise locksets, antique-style levers, and traditional finishes. You get beauty and performance without compromising authenticity.
Whether you want to preserve the hardware your home was built with, or upgrade to complementary replacement pieces, we’ll help you choose the right solution — crafted or selected with historic integrity in mind.

Smart Lock Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Smart Locks — Answered Clearly
Security isn’t something you guess at. It’s something you install correctly, service properly, and maintain with precision.
A smart lock is an electronic deadbolt that allows you to lock and unlock your door using a keypad, smartphone app, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi instead of relying only on a traditional key.
Yes. Proper alignment, secure mounting, and reinforced strike plates ensure the lock functions smoothly and maintains full security strength.
Modern smart locks use encrypted wireless communication, similar to online banking security. While no technology is completely immune, reputable brands with secure setup and updated firmware are very difficult to compromise.
Wi-Fi models allow remote control from anywhere. Some locks require an additional hub for full remote access.
Yes — when installed properly. Most smart locks use encrypted communication and function like a standard deadbolt. The overall security depends on proper installation and door reinforcement, not just the lock itself.
Smart locks run on batteries that typically last 6–12 months. They provide low-battery alerts well in advance. Many models also allow temporary external power or still include a physical key option.
Many smart locks track entry activity in the app. Some models integrate with video doorbells or include built-in cameras for real-time monitoring.

Yes. Since they are battery powered, they continue functioning during home power outages.
Yes. They’re ideal for rental homes or Airbnb properties because access codes can be changed remotely without rekeying the lock.
