Chicago Locksmith Recent Work - Rogers Park Multi-Unit Building Lock Upgrade
This six-unit residential building had an older mortise lock where the threaded k**b and spindle repeatedly stripped out, allowing the handle to pull straight off the door.
Although the hardware had been replaced multiple times over the years, the same issue kept returning because the original design remained the weak point.
We upgraded the entry to a commercial-grade mortise lock with lever handles attached directly to the trim assembly instead of threaded onto the spindle - creating a far more durable and reliable setup for a high-traffic building.
Additional improvements included:
Remodeler plates to cover previous hardware holes
Increased backset from 2-1/2" to 2-3/4"
Improved tenant usability and door clearance
Stronger commercial-grade security hardware
Professional commercial locksmith solutions designed for long-term reliability.
