Schenectady's older housing stock, especially in the Stockade Historic District and along Union Street, often features original locks and hardware that need precise work to avoid damaging historic doors.
Cold winters bring frequent lock freeze-ups and key failures on homes near Central Park and along NY-5, while summer humidity affects commercial properties downtown.
