Lock installation in Montreal: what to know
Fit is what matters
Most locks that stick aren't faulty: the door has moved, the strike plate is a few millimetres out, or the screws are too short. Those things get checked and corrected where possible during installation.
Sensible reinforcement
Longer screws into the stud, a reinforced strike plate or a properly sized bolt noticeably improve an entry door without major work. These are offered, never pushed.

Frequently asked questions

Often yes, with the right mortise lock or euro-profile cylinder. A photo of the door edge lets us confirm.
