Our customers have a pretty big variety of questions when it comes to their doors and locks but the big question they all have is how long, exactly, are their doors and locks going to last. While we can’t give them a definite answer (that all depends on a range of variables) we can usually […]
Winter is coming. (Is it lame to still use that Game of Thrones meme considering that’s from the first season and Winter has been coming in that show for about five years now?) With winter comes snow and ice (I weep for my fading summer tan) and that means, not only does your boat (if […]
With fall upon us, I always like to take time to do a little routine door maintenance. You should do the same. Even if your door is still under warranty, it’s always nice to go through a few simple steps to keep it in good working condition. None of these tips are too complicated, most […]
Floor closers are the lesser known little brother of the door closer, but if we’re being honest (and aren’t we always?), I’m actually partial to them. They’re sleeker. They’re less noticeable. They do their job without making a big fuss about doing their job. That’s my kind of hardware. If you aren’t familiar with the […]
With the winter months upon us, so are all the many, many germs. There have already been several reported cases of flu at my daughter’s school, which has prompted me to launch into my yearly speech about the importance of washing her hands all the time.

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s easy to get caught up in the season. While some people actually might be the victims of unfortunate ghost incidents, these are typically the same people who were dumb enough to build their houses on graveyards or the like. (Did we learn NOTHING from Poltergeist?) Luckily, most of […]
Just when I thought I had come to the end of the road with possible blog topics for LockBytes, I did a quick scan and voila! I discovered we have never talked about knock down frames or welded frames. This was a shock to me because, you know, door frames are vital to any door, […]
In one of the busiest industries in the world, it’s not a shock restaurant owners want to save money where they can, especially when it comes to doors and hardware. With such a fast-paced and busy schedule most restaurant owners operate on, it’s important the hardware that is used in their facility holds up for […]
