Your Door May Be Fine, Just Misaligned
Issues with the functionality of a lock may be completely unrelated to the hardware itself. Doors can become misaligned due to improper installation, the home settling, normal wear-and-tear, or changing weather conditions. Because of small shifts in the positioning of the door, a lock may begin to malfunction.
Fortunately, the resolution for such a problem is usually a door adjustment and often doesn’t require any new hardware to be installed.
If you suspect your locks aren’t working well because of misaligned doors, give us a call at 770-441-0466 to set up an appointment.

Settling of your home. Changes in humidity and weather. Changes in temperature. Failure of hinges. Improperly installed hardware. Attempted break-in. Gravity and time.
