Locksmith for antique lock?

For restoring antique mortise locks and old door hardware in South Slope, you might want to reach out to Miguel’s Locksmith Service Corp or Eddie and Sons Locksmith. They are experienced with vintage and specialty locksets, including antique doorknobs, and can help get your original mortise lock working properly.

It’s always a good idea to explain that it’s an antique restoration project when you call, so they bring the right tools and expertise.

I am trying to restore the original mortise lock for the old double entry doors in my south slope house. I bought an antique doorknob, but there’s something funky about the lockset. Does anyone know a locksmith or other person who can help me get this working again?

The Fifth Avenue Key Shop, on 9th Street west of 5th Avenue, has been in musiness for 100 years and might have the parts and expertise to restore your lock.
