Doors and locks in Chelsea
Gallery storefronts and townhouse entries both show up; rowhouse doors often use mortise locks.
Brownstones, co-ops, and new towers side by side
Chelsea’s side streets have 19th-century row houses and pre-war co-ops, while the avenues and the far west side have large modern buildings. Older apartment doors often use mortise locks — one body inside the door with a key cylinder and a latch — which need a different approach than a standard deadbolt.
Galleries and ground-floor businesses
Galleries, showrooms, and shops frequently have heavy glass or steel doors, exit devices, and closers that take a lot of daily use. We can look at worn cylinders, closers that slam or won’t latch, and keys that too many former employees still carry.
Working with building management
In managed or doorman buildings, lock changes on a unit door may need building approval, and some buildings control the key blanks. Check your lease or house rules first; we can talk through options that fit them.
