What a Lock Cylinder Does
The lock cylinder is the core of any lock — it's the part the key enters and turns. Over time, cylinders wear out, become difficult to turn, or get damaged by forced entry or a broken key. When a cylinder fails, the entire lock stops working reliably, even if the rest of the hardware is fine.
Cylinder Types We Replace
In most cases the cylinder can be replaced on its own without changing the entire lock body, which keeps the cost down.
- Deadbolts
- Knob locks
- Lever handles
- Mortise locks
- Rim locks
Upgrading to a High-Security Cylinder
We also carry high-security cylinders for clients who want to upgrade the security of an existing lock without replacing the full hardware — a cost-effective way to improve resistance to picking and drilling. If a broken key is stuck in the cylinder, we extract it first before replacing anything. Call us with your lock type and brand if you know it, so we bring the right cylinder.
