Knobs, Levers & Locks<\/p>\n

Kwikset (USA): This brand is most common in the USA. We can get these without issues.<\/p>\n

Weiser AKA Weiser Lock (Canada): This brand is most common in Canada. This requires us to cross the USA\/Canada Border legally to get these. Yes, I can get these online, although a shipping fee has to be paid on my end while I’m shopping online for them.<\/p>\n

Both Kwikset and Weiser have a subseries\/backers called “Safe Lock”. They call it “The affordable door hardware solution for your single-family or multifamily home”.<\/p>\n

Schlage (North America): This brand is really common throughout North America, although Canada has some exclusive knobs there. Yes, I can get the ones from Canada online, although a shipping fee has to be paid on my end while I’m shopping online for them.<\/p>\n

Schlage has several subseries\/backers, such are called: “Essentials”, “Dexter”, “Home Front” and the now defunct subseries\/backer “First Secure”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electrical<\/p>\n

Eaton: These are commonly found in most hardware stores.<\/p>\n

Legrand, North America: These are rarely found in some hardware stores.<\/p>\n

Leviton: Just like Eaton, these are commonly found in most hardware stores.<\/p>\n

Stores:<\/p>\n

WE DO NOT SHOP FROM HARBOR FREIGHT. THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY FOR US (THEIR ADS LIE).<\/p>\n

We try to shop True Value stores\/Valu Home Centers where there’s any available, but it’s getting impossible to do so since they’re getting harder and harder to find, due to them going out of business.<\/p>\n

Lowe’s (USA): They have quality products that we use for the job.<\/p>\n

Rona\/Rona+ (Canada): Just like Lowe’s, they have quality products that we use for the job, the only difference is they sell the Weiser\/Weiser Lock brand there instead of Kwikset.<\/p>\n

The Home Depot: Same thing with Lowe’s.<\/p>\n

H.E.P. Sales: I used to work there, and let me tell you, they have everything.<\/p>\n

Home Hardware (Canada): Certain Home Hardware stores carry hard-to-find Weiser\/Weiser Lock knobs, levers and deadbolts. They will carry Weiser’s subseries\/backers “Safe Lock” and Schlage’s subseries\/backers “Dexter”.<\/p>\n
