Sound the stile before any bore
Alexandria deadbolts on a Prince or Duke street slab start with a magnet and a thickness check, because a raised panel behind the lock zone will blow out if we guess. Newer apartment doors farther east already have a factory prep and just need the right bolt and a strike that reaches metal.
On this visit
Old Town doors with a raised panel behind the lock stile can explode a bore into the panel. We sound the stile. If it is hollow behind the paint, we stop. Potomac Yard slabs are ordinary and get an ordinary install.
Frequent questions
I want a modern deadbolt on an 19th-century door. Will you do it?
Only if the stile can take it and you still want that look after we explain the cut. Otherwise we rework the lock you have.
Can we choose the hardware in person?
Yes, at the Adams Morgan showroom, then we schedule the Alexandria trip.
