Door Lock and Hardware Repair & Smart Lock Installation in Metro Detroit

A deadbolt that sticks, a handle that spins loose in your hand, or a lock that won't catch when the temperature drops is more than an annoyance — it's your home's security on the line. BH Door Solutions handles door lock and hardware repair across Metro Detroit, from a single stubborn deadbolt to a full smart lock installation, rekeying every door to one key, or swapping tired handlesets for something that looks and feels solid. You get honest flat-rate pricing, a one-visit fix, and hardware that lines up and locks clean through every Michigan season.

Deadbolt Installation, Rekeying & Lock Repair

A deadbolt is only as strong as how it's mounted. We install ANSI Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts with a full one-inch throw bolt, then back them with a reinforced strike plate and three-inch screws that bite into the wall framing instead of just the jamb — the single biggest difference between a lock that deters a kick-in and one that doesn't. If your deadbolt catches, won't throw, or only locks when you lift or shove the door, the cause is usually seasonal movement: Michigan's freeze-thaw cycle shifts the door in its frame until the bolt no longer lines up with the strike. We realign the strike and latch so it throws with one easy turn.

Rekeying is the fast, affordable answer when you've just moved in, lost a key, or handed spares to a contractor you'd rather not have holding one. Instead of buying all-new locks, we change the pins inside your existing cylinders so every old key stops working — and we can key-alike your front, side, and garage-entry doors so a single key runs the whole house. Sticking cylinders, worn keys, and locks that grind are all part of the same door lock and hardware repair visit.

Smart Lock & Keypad Installation

A smart lock installation ends the hunt for keys for good — punch in a code, tap your phone, or let it lock itself behind you. We install keypad, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi models from the brands homeowners actually trust, set up guest codes for family, dog walkers, and cleaners, and dial in auto-lock so the door never gets left unlocked by accident. Most quality smart locks keep a traditional keyed backup, so you're never stranded if the batteries die.

Michigan winters are hard on smart hardware: cold drains batteries faster and a door that has shifted in the cold makes the motor fight a misaligned bolt until it jams. That's why we don't just bolt one on — we match the lock to your door's thickness and backset, correct the strike alignment first, and test that the bolt drives home effortlessly before we hand it back to you. Retrofit onto your existing deadbolt or a full replacement, we set it up so it works every time.

Handlesets, Levers & Hardware Replacement

The handle is what your hand touches a dozen times a day, so a loose, wobbly, or tarnished one drags down the whole entrance. We handle handleset and lever replacement across the board — grip-style entry sets for the front door, passage and privacy knobs for interior rooms, dummy hardware for closets and French doors, and ADA-friendly levers that are easier on arthritic hands and required in most commercial settings. We match the finish across your doors so nothing looks mismatched, and re-anchor everything to sit tight instead of working loose again in a month. This is the kind of door lock and hardware repair that quietly makes a home feel finished.

Multi-Point Locks & Commercial Door Closers

Multi-point locks are the tall locking systems on many fiberglass entry doors and patio doors — lift the handle and the door bolts at the top, middle, and bottom at once for a weather-tight, secure seal. When the gearbox wears out or the lift handle goes limp, the whole door stops locking. We repair and replace the gearbox, tie bars, and keeps, and realign the strikes so all three points engage smoothly again.

For businesses, the door closer is what keeps a storefront or office entrance from slamming, standing open, or dragging in a draft. We install and fine-tune hydraulic closers — adjusting sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck, and setting the closing force to meet ADA requirements so the door is easy to open but always pulls itself shut and latched. From high-traffic entrances to interior fire-rated doors, we keep them cycling reliably.

Hinges, Strike Plates & Glass Insert Replacement

A lot of lock trouble is really hardware trouble one hinge away. Stripped hinge screws let a door sag until the deadbolt misses the strike entirely, so we re-anchor them with longer fasteners into the stud or swap in ball-bearing hinges for heavy and high-traffic doors. We also upgrade thin builder-grade strike plates to reinforced, four-screw security strikes that spread a forced blow across the framing — a small, inexpensive part that makes a real difference at your most-used door. If you've searched for door lock and hardware repair because the door itself has drifted out of square, this is usually where the fix starts.

We also replace the decorative and privacy glass inserts set into many entry and storm doors. When an insert fogs up because its seal has failed, cracks from a stray ball, or you simply want more light or more privacy, we measure the opening, source a matching snap-in insert, and swap it cleanly without replacing the whole door.
