We help with stiff locks, jammed locks, loose locks, damaged locks, broken keys, worn cylinders, faulty deadlocks and door locks that are difficult to use or no longer secure properly.
Not every lock problem means the whole lock needs to be replaced.

Repair The Lock Before Replacing It
Many lock problems can be inspected, adjusted, serviced or repaired before replacement is needed. Texting a photo of the lock or door can help with initial advice.
Common Lock Problems We Repair
Lock problems can be caused by wear, poor alignment, damaged keys, loose hardware, old cylinders, door movement or incorrect installation.
Stiff Or Hard-To-Turn Locks
If your key is hard to turn, the lock feels stiff, or the door only locks with extra force, there may be a problem with the lock, cylinder, key, latch, strike plate or door alignment.
Jammed Door Locks
A jammed lock can leave you locked out, locked in, or unable to properly secure the door. We repair many common residential door lock problems and can advise if the lock is repairable.
Broken Key In Lock
If a key has snapped inside the lock, avoid pushing it further in or forcing the lock. In many cases, the broken key can be removed and the lock can be checked for damage.
Loose Or Spinning Locks
Loose handles, spinning cylinders, worn fittings and unstable lock hardware can affect both security and usability. We can inspect the lock and door hardware.
Locks That Will Not Secure Properly
If your door will not lock, unlock or latch correctly, it should be looked at as soon as possible. A faulty lock can leave your home, rental property or unit insecure.
Urgent Lock Problems
If a door cannot be secured, a key has snapped, or a lock has failed suddenly, we can provide emergency locksmith assistance where required.
Residential Lock Repair Services
Practical locksmith support for door locks, deadlocks, entrance sets, sliding doors, security doors, window locks and broken keys.
Door Lock Repairs
We repair many common residential door locks, including entrance locks, deadlocks, knob sets, lever sets and compatible lock cylinders.
Deadlock Repairs
Deadlocks can become stiff, worn, misaligned or difficult to operate over time. We can inspect the deadlock and advise whether repair, rekeying or replacement is the best option.
Entrance Set Repairs
If your front door lock is loose, catching, worn or unreliable, we can inspect the entrance set, latch, cylinder, strike and door alignment to identify the issue.
Sliding Door Lock Repairs
Sliding door locks can become difficult to operate due to wear, alignment issues, damaged hardware or door movement. We can inspect and repair suitable sliding door locks where possible.
Security Door Lock Repairs
Security screen door locks and patio door locks can wear out or become difficult to use. We can assess whether the lock can be repaired, serviced or replaced.
Broken Key Removal
If a key has broken in a lock, we can remove the broken key where possible and check whether the lock and key need repair, rekeying or replacement.
Repair, Rekey Or Replace?
Repair may be suitable when the lock is good quality, the problem is minor, parts are serviceable, and the lock can be made reliable and secure again.
If keys are lost, stolen, unaccounted for, or you need old keys to stop working, rekeying may be recommended as part of the lock service.
Lock replacement may be the better option when the lock is badly worn, damaged, insecure, poor quality, incorrectly fitted, or no longer suitable for the door.

A stiff lock can be caused by wear, poor alignment, dirt, a damaged key, cylinder problems or door movement. A locksmith can inspect the lock and door to identify the cause.
