The No.1 problem. Dodgy hardware installation work is real and it's everywhere.
Yes even in the high-end homes. There is definitely a lack of high skilled workers out there.
I understand door hardware work might not be very exciting for most people and I know a lot of carpenters hate having to install it.
I also know that there are many carpenters (maybe like you) who are perfectionists and have a passion for becoming an expert.
