When you have a problem with an antique lock you can’t just call a locksmith.
Our 95 year old door handle has become a little temperamental in the past few years. On different occasions our lock has jammed, the door knob has broken off, and the door wouldn’t open from the outside.
I contacted Liz’s Anique Hardware, a Los Angeles institution, about our problem. I spoke with Bryan Wood and learned that he often fixes old hardware and locks in the West Adams area. Bryan has been out to our house several times and has gotten our door handle back up and running.
Bryan was just here last night. Hopefully, our door hardware will be good for another year.
Call Liz’s Anique Hardware 323.939.4403 and ask for Bryan Wood in the antique hardware section.
Update: If you are in the Los Angeles area, Bryan Wood can now be reached through email at [email protected] or phone: 310-880-0955

We have an antique brass doorlock set that needs repair and refinishing. Do you do this kind of work. Do you need pictures?

That exterior lockset is amazing.
I have a keyed pocket insert lock that I would like to repair. However, I cannot get it out of the old door. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ?<
I am no longer at Liz’s Hardware, but you can certainly call them for information and replacement hardware. If you are in the L.A. area email me at [email protected] or call me at 310-880-0955
