How It Works
Our Process
Assess Existing Hardware

Remove Old Hardware
The old knob, latch, and strike plate are carefully removed without damaging the door or frame.
Install New Hardware
The new handle, latch, and strike plate are installed and adjusted so the door latches smoothly and locks align perfectly.

Every door is opened, closed, latched, and locked multiple times to verify smooth, reliable operation.

Why a Pro
Why Hire a Pro?
While replacing a doorknob seems simple, issues arise when the new hardware does not match the existing bore holes, when strike plates need repositioning, or when the latch does not align properly. Exterior locksets are more complex, with deadbolts requiring precise alignment for security. A professional ensures everything works correctly and your doors close and lock properly.

Common questions about this service
Should I buy the new hardware or will you?
Most customers buy their own hardware to choose the exact style and finish. We can advise on compatibility and recommend brands before you purchase.
How long does it take to replace a doorknob?
A straightforward knob replacement takes about 15 to 20 minutes per door. If strike plate adjustment is needed, add another 10 minutes.
Can you replace knobs with lever handles?
Yes, as long as your doors have standard bore holes. Most modern lever handles are designed to fit existing door preparations without modification.
