Worked on two , 100+ year old doors. These doors were unique. Both have the original Counterweight Door Closers and had Drop Bar Latches. You never see both on a door still in use, a 100 years later. Customer wanted to have the doors latch securely , with key access and also be fire rated. 
I used fire rated Von Duprin panic bars with night latch pull handles and rim key cylinders. I ran into a couple of challenges that made this job take twice as long as installing the same on conventional doors.The doors were 2-5/8” thick! Meaning all mounting screws and tail pieces needed to be longer , the doors were metal over wood and had some seams that got in the way , the strike plates needed to be mounted on an uneven brick door casing. 😩 all said and done, it works!

33 Years!!! Omg! It’s time to look back on the $27.00 service call rate in 1990! The $1.05 per gallon gas and the hand written invoices. You have made it all happen into 2023!
Thank you! ❤️
