Lock Repair
Some might want to sell you a new lock. Most of the time we would rather fix your old one.
Old locks fit your door well, and the older ones often have good old
school metal to them that makes them strong and long lasting.
Plus, best of all, a repair is usually less costly than a new install. We
do not like to waste our money, and we certainly do not want to waste
yours.
Common repairs we do
- A home handle lock or deadbolt that cannot lock, or cannot unlock.
- A business glass storefront latch that is not locking.
- A key that will not turn smoothly.
- A key stuck in the hole.
- A car door hole that has been vandalized.
What helps us most
Let us know where you are, whether you are stuck or locked out, and snap
us a photo of your lock so we can prepare the parts and a game plan.
Your locks will be treated as if they were our own. All will work smoothly
and stand the test of time. We repair old locks as much as possible instead
of installing new ones, and that saves you money. We are not afraid of hard
problems because we have seen all sorts.
