Los Angeles homes shift and settle over time — and earthquake activity accelerates this. When a door frame shifts, the lock bolt and strike plate no longer align, making the door difficult or impossible to latch and lock. Lock Angeles LA diagnoses and repairs door misalignment issues, adjusting strike plates and hardware to restore proper function.
Common signs of misalignment: the door is hard to close, the deadbolt doesn't extend fully, the latch doesn't click, or there is a visible gap between the door and frame. These are not just inconveniences — they are security vulnerabilities.
We also install replacement door knobs, lever handles, and entry sets when existing hardware is worn, outdated, or being upgraded. We handle the full installation including proper alignment and adjustment.
If the misalignment is severe due to structural movement, we assess whether the strike plate adjustment alone is sufficient or whether additional carpentry work is needed. We are transparent about the scope of the repair before any work begins.
