Lock Not Working Right?
Key sticks or the door won't latch - quick fix or something worse, we'll tell you.
A lock that sticks, a key that's hard to turn, or a door that won't latch properly usually comes down to one of a few things: a worn key, dirt or corrosion inside the cylinder, or the strike plate/latch being out of alignment.
We'll look at the actual mechanism in person rather than guessing over the phone - often it's a simple cleaning, adjustment, or a fresh-cut key, not a full lock replacement.
If the lock genuinely is failing and repair isn't a good long-term fix, we'll say so plainly and give you real options instead of patching something that will just fail again.
Often yes - cleaning, lubrication, or a fresh key resolves a lot of “sticky lock” complaints without needing new hardware.
That's frequently a strike plate or door alignment issue rather than the lock itself - we'll check both and explain what's actually causing it.
Most lock repairs are diagnosed and completed in a single visit - we carry the tools and common parts needed for standard residential hardware.
