Repair or replace?
Many problems are fixed with cleaning, lubrication, adjustment or a new cylinder. If the lock body is cracked or the hardware is very worn, replacing it is usually more economical. We quote both options when it is close.
Entry doors
Sometimes the lock is fine and the door has moved. Sagging hinges, swollen frames and loose strikes cause many sticking locks. We check the door as well as the lock and can repair or replace damaged entry door hardware.
Frequently asked questions
Should I spray oil into a sticking lock?
Avoid heavy oils, which attract dust. A dry graphite or lock-specific lubricant is better, and a lock that keeps sticking needs inspection.
Can you remove a broken key?
Usually, yes, with extraction tools, and we can cut a replacement key on the spot.
Do you repair commercial locks?
Yes, including storefront locks, exit devices and office hardware.
