Time, weather, and daily friction will eventually degrade even the finest residential hardware. When a thumb latch starts to stick, a deadbolt requires aggressive jiggling to turn, or the metallic finish severely tarnishes and peels, your home suffers in both security and curb appeal. Patching failing hardware is a gamble with your family's safety that you shouldn't take. We are Saint JohnS University, MN’s specialists in residential hardware upgrades. From executing a heavy-duty door lock replacement to installing a beautiful new handleset, we ensure your entryways function flawlessly and effectively repel intrusion.

Many homes feature basic, Grade 3 builder-grade deadbolts constructed from hollow pot metal. When executing a front door lock replacement, we strongly recommend upgrading to ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 hardware. These locks feature solid brass cylinders, anti-drill ball bearings, and hardened steel bolts that actively resist sawing. More importantly, we address the weakest link: the door jamb. We install reinforced strike plates using three-inch steel screws that bite directly into the "king stud" of your wall, transferring the violent kinetic force of a kick-in attack away from the fragile wooden door frame and into the structural framing of the house.
The front door is the architectural focal point of your entire property. Upgrading to a modern, sweeping handleset drastically improves aesthetics. When performing a front door handle replacement, absolute precision alignment is critical. We ensure the cross-bore and edge-bore holes perfectly accommodate the new tubular latch mechanism. We use specialized jigs to drill the through-holes for the bottom of the handleset, ensuring the hardware mounts perfectly plumb, straight, and flush against the door surface.
Our capabilities extend far beyond standard metal locks. We expertly install electronic keypad deadbolts and Wi-Fi-enabled smart locks so you can ditch your keychain. We meticulously calibrate the alignment of the door so the deadbolt motor glides effortlessly into the strike plate, preventing the severe battery drain and motor burnout that is incredibly common with amateur DIY smart lock installations.
Do not tolerate sticking latches or hollow, insecure deadbolts. Upgrade your home's primary barrier with heavy-duty, professionally installed hardware that looks incredible.

"Our old brass handle was peeling and the thumb latch was broken. They did a complete front door handle replacement with a modern matte black set. It completely modernized the house and looks great."
"I wanted to upgrade my security. The technician did a door lock replacement with a heavy-duty Schlage deadbolt and put massive screws into the door frame. Nobody is kicking that door in now."
"I bought a smart lock online but couldn't get the deadbolt to slide smoothly. The locksmith came out, fixed the alignment on my door frame, and got the smart lock working perfectly."
By the early 1950s the monastic community had reached to a near 450 monks, and had outgrown the original abbey church and so plans were made to construct a new, larger worship space which could accommodate a larger congregation. The liturgical movement which would culminate in the Second Vatican Council was in full swing at Saint John's and so the new church was also to be designed with some of the anticipated liturgical changes in mind. (Following the Council, almost no changes needed to be made to incorporate the new liturgical rules.) The community contacted twelve architects and asked them to submit plans for a church which would "be truly an architectural monument to the service of God." In 1954 the community selected Marcel Breuer to design not only the new church but an addition to the monastic enclosure.
