Sash locks that miss the keeper, and door bolts that miss the strike, are alignment and hardware problems. Sometimes the screw holes are stripped. Sometimes the slab has sagged. Those are ordinary repairs.

On a first-floor opening, that's also security. If the door will not stay closed tonight, say so. Emergency board-up and door help is the urgent version of the same idea.

A new lock on a split jamb is a short-lived fix. The jamb has to be part of the quote if it's failed.

We will not 'upgrade' you into a product you didn't ask for. We'll say what will actually latch.

South Hills houses with the same missed-strike problem often start on the Castle Shannon window and door page or a mixed handyman list if a few interior doors are failing too.
