What Lock Repair Actually Solves ?
Lock repair is more than tightening screws or adding lubricant. Many issues start inside the mechanism—worn pins, misaligned parts, buildup inside the cylinder, or a failing bolt. Repairing the lock addresses the internal problem, so you don’t end up replacing hardware that still has years of life left. Whether your lock is sticking, grinding, loose, or misaligned, repairs can restore full function and extend the lock’s lifespan significantly.

Our Services
Complete Lock Repair Services
Below is how we diagnose and repair locks with precision and care.
Fixing Sticking or Hard-to-Turn Locks
A lock that’s difficult to turn is one of the most common problems for homeowners and businesses. Weather changes, dirt buildup, worn internal springs, or misaligned pins can make the key feel rough. Left unchecked, the lock eventually seizes completely. We open the lock, clean the cylinder, repair worn components, and restore smooth, controlled turning, without replacing the entire mechanism.
Repairing Misaligned Locks and Door Latches
Sometimes the lock isn’t the issue—the door is. When a door shifts due to weather, settling, or repeated use, the latch or bolt no longer lines up with the strike plate. This causes grinding, partial engagement, and difficulty locking the door. We adjust the strike plate, align the door, tighten hinges, and ensure the lock connects exactly where it should. This simple repair prevents long-term wear and future lock failure.
Broken Key Extraction and Lock Restoration
Keys break inside locks more often than people realize, especially with older or worn hardware. When this happens, forcing the key only worsens the situation. We safely extract the broken key, assess internal damage, and repair the cylinder so the lock works properly again. If the internal components are compromised, we restore or re-pin the lock on the spot.
Fixing Loose or Wobbly Locks
Loose locks can be more dangerous than broken ones because they give the illusion of working while offering little real security. A loose cylinder, shifting handle, or unstable deadbolt can fail during an attempted break-in. We tighten the hardware, repair structural issues inside the door, and make sure the lock is firmly anchored for long-term reliability.
Deadbolt Repair
Deadbolts fail when the bolt doesn’t extend fully, the internal mechanism sticks, or the key cylinder wears down. Instead of replacing the entire unit, our locksmiths rebuild or replace broken components to restore full security. Homeowners often think their deadbolt is failing when it’s actually the strike plate or door alignment issues we correct during the repair process.
Smart Lock Troubleshooting and Repair
Smart locks are convenient, but when they malfunction, you need a technician who understands both mechanical and digital components. We repair keypad locks, app-controlled systems, electronic deadbolts, and smart lock hardware, addressing issues like unresponsive keypads, failing battery contacts, internal motor jams, door misalignment, and software or connection problems. If the lock can be repaired safely, we’ll restore it—and if a replacement is the better option, we’ll let you know.
Commercial Lock Repair
Businesses depend on smooth, secure access for employees, clients, and daily operations—and a failing lock can disrupt workflow, create safety issues, and increase liability. We repair commercial deadbolts, storefront locks, office interior locks, panic bar mechanisms, restricted-access locks, and high-traffic hardware. Our repair process keeps your business secure while avoiding downtime and unnecessary replacements. Homeowners often think their deadbolt is failing when it’s actually the strike plate or door alignment issues we correct during the repair process.
When Should You Repair Instead of Replace?
Repairing a lock is often the smarter, more economical option. A repair makes sense when:
- The lock’s housing is strong
- The issue is internal or mechanical
- The lock is newer or high-quality hardware
- Only specific components are worn
- The damage is minor
