Signs Your Lock Needs Repair
A lock that's stiff, slow, or difficult to turn isn't just annoying, it's usually the first sign of wear on the internal pins or cylinder, and a lock in that condition is easier to force or manipulate than one working correctly. Other signs include a deadbolt that doesn't fully extend, a door that needs to be lifted or pushed to get the key to turn, or a lock that has started requiring a specific technique to open.
- Key sticks or turns with resistance
- Deadbolt doesn't fully extend
- Door must be lifted or pushed to unlock
- Lock needs a specific technique to open
Repair or Replace: How We Decide
Not every problem lock needs to be replaced. Our technicians diagnose whether the issue is misalignment, internal wear, or physical damage, and recommend a repair when that's the more cost-effective fix, reserving full replacement for locks that are damaged beyond repair or too old to service reliably.
