Knox County does not require a permit for simple hardware changes, but fire egress codes still apply. CountBricks field supervisors verify that thumb-turn deadbolts meet IRC standards for single-families. When we upgrade sidelights or widen the opening, our team submits the necessary documentation and schedules inspections so you never worry about red tags.
• DIY costs less up front but risks misalignment, voided warranties, and weekend frustration
• CountBricks provides labor guarantees, lock calibration, and post-install support
• Our AI blueprint takeoff prevents change orders by catching jamb thickness and hinge locations before purchase
Knoxville homeowners are rapidly adopting smart home platforms. CountBricks technicians can sync new front door hardware with:
• Z-Wave or Zigbee security panels
• Wi-Fi cameras for package monitoring
• HVAC setbacks triggered by entry events
1. Every 6 months: Tighten screws and apply graphite lubricant
2. Annually: Inspect weatherstripping and adjust strike plate
3. Every 3 years: Re-seal finish if exposed to direct sun on south-facing doors

• Upgrade to security screws on the strike plate for under $5 and triple the holding strength
• Consider a dual-finish package (bronze exterior, chrome interior) to match indoor décor without sacrificing curb appeal
Our AI engine shortens estimating cycles by 70%, while our Knoxville-based crews complete most installs in under two hours. From initial voice call to final walkthrough, CountBricks owns the process—so your front door hardware delivers the welcome your home deserves.
When the Parker family bought a 1960s bungalow in West Hills, the original brass knob was loose and the deadbolt stuck every humid August. They called CountBricks for a same-day voice estimate on “Front Door Hardware Knoxville TN.” Our estimator captured door dimensions, noted the craftsman trim profile, and recommended a matte black handle-set with a smart deadbolt that integrates with their existing security hub.
• AI estimate delivered in 6 minutes with three finish options
• On-site install scheduled for the next afternoon
• Crew replaced strike plate with 3-inch security screws and added concealed weather sweep
Total door downtime was under 40 minutes, and the Parkers now unlock via phone while receiving package alerts on their porch cam. The project came in 4% under the original budget thanks to live material pricing inside the CountBricks app.
