The West Village's landmarked status means exterior door hardware changes often need to maintain historic appearance. Our technicians specialize in retrofitting modern high-security cylinders into antique mortise lock bodies - preserving the original brass hardware while adding pick-resistant protection. The neighborhood's narrow, winding streets and converted carriage houses also feature non-standard door sizes and unique lock configurations that require experienced handling.
