From time-to-time every locksmith, maintenance person or door service technician is going to be faced with a door that needs replacing but because of budget restraints that door has to be restored rather then replaced. This video covers just such a situation and shows how the stiles and rails were stabilized rather then installing a new door.

When doors are in a state of disrepair, like this one was, it is ALWAYS better to replace the door — until the customer or facilities manager says they can’t afford it. Then, it’s time for you to say, “I Can Fix That!”

Too many locksmiths are reluctant to replace a surface mounted closer because they feel insecure about working with closers. Even more locksmiths shy away from replacing an overhead concealed closer. As a result they often leave hundreds of dollars in business lying on the sidewalk for another locksmith or door service company to pick up.

I understand that reluctance because until I replaced my first overhead concealed closer I thought it was too hard and would take too long. I also thought I might “mess something up” and create more problems then I solved.

I was wrong! And this video not only shows you how it is done but how easy it is to do it. If you’re a locksmith, you already have the mechanical skills to do it. You already have the tools to do it. Even a maintenance person will learn how easy it is by viewing this INSTANTLY downloadable video.

It doesn’t happen often but when it does you’re stuck trying to make a standard cylinder reach beyond its proper length. The door is thicker then normal and you need to find a way to fit a cylinder to the door.

Up until about the late 60s, Corbin, Russwin, McKenney and others made adjustable cylinders. After they ceased making those cylinders if you had a door that was an odd thickness you had to order specially made cylinders, which were expensive.

MAJOR MANUFACTURNG has come out with a cylinder extension kit and drill guide that will allow you to custom make odd-ball length cylinders right on your truck or in your shop!

This 7-minute video shows you how they work and how easy it is to solve what otherwise could be a real problem: especially with some of the new and thicker doors being manufactured today.
