- The handle feels loose or drops.
- The door only locks with force.
A door that will not close, latch or lock is usually one part of the assembly: the frame, the hinge, the strike or the lock. We diagnose the whole assembly before replacing anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mortise lock be repaired or should it be replaced?
Many can be repaired. If a spare part cannot be sourced, a modern mortise body in the same pocket is the usual answer.
Will a new lock fit the old door?
Modern mortise bodies are made to fit standard pockets, so a replacement is often possible without cutting the door.
