Door Edge Repair & Knob Installation in Manhattan Valley NY

Project type

Door Edge Restoration & Modern Knob Installation

Date

December 6, 2024

Location

Manhatten Valley

This door repair project in Manhattan Valley NY involved restoring a damaged door edge and repairing the interior pocket area after removal of vintage hardware.
The door surface was reinforced, filled, sanded smooth, and prepared for paint. A new latch pocket was mortised to proper depth, and a modern knob and strike assembly were installed and aligned for smooth, reliable operation.
