Decatur locksmith FAQ
Does it cost more to put a deadbolt on an old wood door in Decatur?
Sometimes, because older doors can need extra parts. An oversized cross bore may need a wider trim ring or a reinforcing plate. The cross bore is the large round hole through the door face. Wood doors in older bungalows often carry holes from past locks. We measure first, so you know what your door needs before work starts. Call +1 678-338-8566 to describe your door and ask about pricing.
Can I keep the old mortise lock on my bungalow's front door?
You can often keep it. A mortise lock sits in a deep pocket cut into the door's edge. It's common in Craftsman bungalows, an early-1900s home style found around Decatur Square. The old hardware can stay as trim while a new deadbolt does the security work. Some owners prefer to have it serviced or converted instead. We walk through each option with you on site.
how fast can someone come look at my old front door in 30030?
Same-day response covers every call in 30030. Our team dispatches from 1340 Center Dr. in Dunwoody. On site, we start by measuring door thickness and backset. Backset is the distance from the door's edge to the center of the lock hole. Locked out instead? Our emergency lockout service runs 24/7.
My door has filled holes and patches from past locks. Can it still hold a new deadbolt?
Most patched doors can, once we find where the solid wood is. Old doors keep clues like filled holes, brass cover plates, and paint patches. Those clues tell us where to set the new lock. We work with existing holes whenever the wood allows. That means less new cutting into an original door. A reinforcing plate can also firm up a rough or split bore.
Is there room for a deadbolt on a door with glass panes at the top?
Yes, most glass-paned doors can take one with the right backset. Backset is the distance from the door's edge to the center of the lock hole. Today's locks use 2-3/8" or 2-3/4". On many older Decatur doors, the shorter 2-3/8" size stays clear of the glass. We also check the width of the wood frame around the panes. The goal is a firm lock seat without stressing the glass. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "@id": "https://www.aroundtheclocklocksmiths.com/locksmith-decatur/#faq", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does it cost more to put a deadbolt on an old wood door in Decatur?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Sometimes, because older doors can need extra parts.
