Storefront Lock Repair Raleigh NC FAQ
What locks are commonly used on storefront doors?
Aluminum storefront doors commonly use narrow-stile deadlatches, hook-bolt deadlocks, mortise cylinders, paddles, levers, and compatible electric strikes or access components.
Can you repair a storefront lock that is hard to turn?
Often, yes. The cause may be the key, cylinder, cam, lock body, door alignment, or pressure against the bolt and must be diagnosed.
Can you rekey an aluminum storefront door?
Many storefront mortise cylinders can be rekeyed or replaced, depending on the keyway, cylinder condition, and security plan.
Can you replace the lock without replacing the glass door?
Usually, compatible lock components can be serviced separately, but door damage, obsolete hardware, or incorrect preparation may change the scope.
