Mid-Century Hardware Expertise for Fircrest Homes
Many Fircrest homes were built in the post-war mid-century period, featuring original hardware that's now decades old. Common issues include:
- Worn cylinders that struggle to operate smoothly
- Stripped strike plates from years of door use
- Aged deadbolts that may not function properly
- Original key control that's been compromised by years of unknown copies
- Hardware finishes that have aged but are sentimentally or aesthetically valued
Our techs are experienced with this hardware. We help Fircrest homeowners decide whether to rekey existing hardware (sometimes possible), repair worn components, or thoughtfully replace with period-appropriate modern options.
