Do you handle lockset repair, or only full replacement?
Repair and replacement are different scopes. A lockset that binds, sags, or turns roughly is often a loose mounting screw, a misaligned strike plate, a worn spring cassette, or a latch that has dropped out of square with the frame. Those can be repairs when the body and cylinder are sound. Replacement is the usual path when the housing is cracked, the finish has pitted through, or the hardware is not worth the labor.
