Why Decorative Hardware Makes a Difference
No matter the age or style of your home, the right hardware will make a huge difference in the security and curb appeal of your home.
Hardware does more than open and close your door. A well-installed set of door knobs, levers, or handles adds curb appeal and charm, completes your entryway design, and protects your home. Lock It Up, Inc. installs hardware that matches both the custom look and function your door requires. Popular finish options include:
- Satin nickel
- Matte black
- Oil-rubbed bronze
- Aged brass
- Polished chrome
We help match finish combinations across multiple doors and ensure hardware feels solid and secure in daily use.
Confirming Compatibility with Your Door
Every installation starts with a compatibility check. We measure the door’s thickness, confirm borehole spacing, and examine the existing latch and strike plate alignment. If your door has non-standard holes, worn surfaces, or poor past installations, we make the necessary adjustments for a lasting result.
For new doors, we handle full prep, including drilling holes, mortising the latch, and securing the lockset. We use the right tools and techniques to prevent splintering and align the lock and handle correctly the first time.
Installing Hardware You Already Purchased
We’ll install it if you’ve already chosen hardware from a local shop or online store. Just let us know the brand and product model when scheduling your appointment so we can confirm the parts will fit your door. We frequently install popular styles from national brands and know how to handle common fit issues.
If adjustments are needed, we bring the right tools to adapt the strike plate, align the latch assembly, or reinforce the door jamb for a lasting fit.
Decorative Hardware and Smart Lock Compatibility
You don’t have to sacrifice style for convenience. We install decorative door hardware alongside smart locks when compatible. Many homes use a keyed entry handle with a smart deadbolt installed above it.
Let us know if you’re combining both so we can confirm that the lock cylinder and handle will work together in spacing and finish. Our team checks placement to ensure the door closes properly and the locks engage securely.
Installation for New Doors
For new construction or replacement doors, we handle the full prep work. This includes:
- Drilling bore and edge holes
- Mortising the latch
- Installing the handle or knob
- Tightening all mounting screws
- Verifying latch and bolt movement
We use sharp drill bits, hole saws, and chisels to prevent splintering or gaps. We also ensure the strike plate sits flush and that the hardware functions as expected once installed.
Care and Maintenance Tips
To keep your decorative hardware looking its best:
- Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, especially on matte black or oil-rubbed finishes
- Choose finishes with protective coatings if your door gets full sun exposure or sits near water
Well-maintained hardware not only looks better but also lasts longer under regular use.
