When it comes to upgrading door hardware, most homeowners assume they’ll need a brand-new door — especially when new locks don’t match the old drill holes or footprints. But that’s not always true.
One of our recent customers was told by several contractors that the only way to install his new lockset was to replace the entire door and frame — at a cost of about $8,000.
When he called Mike’s Locksmith, we saw another way forward. With a creative approach and the right combination of products, we installed the new hardware securely and beautifully — without replacing the door.
The result? The customer kept the door he loved, upgraded his security, and saved thousands of dollars.
The lesson: your door isn’t always the problem. Lock drilling patterns and backsets vary, but an experienced locksmith can often retrofit or adapt the setup safely and effectively.
Before you spend thousands on a new door, call Mike’s Locksmith. We’ll help you find the smartest, most cost-effective solution — one that keeps your home secure, stylish, and within budget.
