How our crew installs top dampers in Lockhart
A closer look at the damper work our team does on fireplaces in Lockhart.
The safety device some makers require
Some top dampers include a fusible-link safety device between the lid and the cable. The Lock-Top instructions say that device must be installed for the maker's warranty to be in effect.
We install every part the maker's instructions call for, including safety devices, and we do not skip steps to save time. The model's paperwork, with its warranty conditions, is left with you at handover. If an existing top damper is missing a required part, we point that out during the inspection.
Repairing an existing top damper
Many top damper problems come down to a few parts, the gasket, the cable, the clamp or the spring. Where the maker still supplies them, repairing the damper can be good value.
We identify your model, check which parts are available and quote the repair next to a replacement. If the frame, lid and adhesive are sound, a repair is usually the sensible choice. Where parts are no longer made, we tell you and quote a replacement that fits the same flue.
Same-day visits when the schedule allows
A lid stuck shut before a planned fire, a snapped cable or a flue open to the rain is worth a quick visit. Ask about same-day service when you call.
When the schedule allows, we come out the same day for the free inspection and make the damper safe to leave as it is. A replacement or new install is then scheduled once the parts are confirmed. If a lid is stuck shut, the fireplace stays unlit until that visit, whatever the plans for the evening.
Homes with two fireplaces
Two fireplaces mean two flues, often in the same chimney. Each flue that suits a top damper needs its own, with its own cable and handle in its own firebox.
We check both flues and both fireboxes and quote each damper separately, so you can do one or both. The handles are set up the same way in each fireplace to keep things simple. If only one fireplace suits a top damper, the other gets its own recommendation.

Top damper questions from Lockhart
Still deciding? These answers help, and the damper inspection in Lockhart is free.
Will a top damper keep birds out of the chimney?
When it is closed, yes, the flue is shut at the top. We confirm the flue is empty before installing, because some chimney birds are federally protected and must not be sealed in.
Do you offer a warranty on top damper installation?
Our installation is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms in your estimate, and the damper carries the maker's own product warranty. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies as well.
