Mortise Lock Repair & Replacement
Older buildings across Queens — from the pre-war six-stories lining Queens Boulevard to the early 20th-century attached homes in Woodside and Richmond Hill — were built with mortise locks as standard hardware. Unlike the cylindrical knob-and-deadbolt combinations common in newer construction, a mortise lock is a self-contained unit that drops into a routed pocket inside the door edge, housing the latch, deadbolt, and often a privacy button all in a single cast body. Decades of use, seasonal wood expansion, and the occasional forced-entry attempt leave many of these units worn, stiff, or completely seized — and because the lock body is structurally embedded in the door itself, improper repair attempts can split the stile or strip the mortise pocket beyond recovery.
