A working lock and secure door hardware are important for safety, privacy, and peace of mind. My Uncle Gus helps Austin customers with deadbolt installation, door knobs, lock hardware, hinges, strike plates, door adjustments, and safety-focused handyman repairs.
Lock and hardware requests are common after move-ins, tenant turnovers, short-term rental setup, office updates, and door repairs. A new deadbolt or knob may be straightforward, but the door and frame still need to line up correctly. If the latch does not meet the strike plate, the door rubs, or the frame is damaged, hardware alone may not solve the problem.
For rental properties, door and lock work is often part of a make-ready list. For homeowners, it may be part of improving security, replacing worn hardware, or upgrading the look of a room. Electronic locks and smart locks may be possible depending on door condition and product requirements.
When requesting an estimate, send photos of the door, existing hardware, latch area, hinges, and the new hardware if already purchased. Mention whether the door is interior, exterior, metal, wood, or fiberglass.
My Uncle Gus can handle many common door hardware jobs and will recommend a locksmith or specialist when the work goes beyond handyman-level repair.
