What does this service include?
Sticking & misaligned locks
Door settling, humidity swelling, or an off-spec strike plate — we diagnose the real cause and fix it properly.
Broken lock replacement
Damaged cylinder, snapped cam, stripped spindle — we replace what’s broken and match the keyway where possible.
New deadbolt installation
Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and high-security brands installed cleanly in the existing bore hole or a new prep.
Strike plate reinforcement
A quality deadbolt on a weak strike is still weak. We upgrade to 3-inch security strikes on request.
Commercial door hardware
Closer adjustment, panic bar repair, mortise lock service, and heavy-duty knob or lever replacement.
High-security cylinders
Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, ASSA, and Schlage Primus cylinders for restricted key control.

Common questions about lock repair & installation
Quick answers to what most callers ask first.
Can you fix a deadbolt that sticks or is hard to turn?
Yes. The most common causes are door frame settling, humidity swelling, or a misaligned strike plate. We diagnose and fix on-site.
How much does a lock repair cost?
Simple adjustments start at a low service charge. Cylinder replacements and new installs depend on the hardware chosen. We quote before we start.
Can you install a new deadbolt on my existing door?
Yes — for any standard US door prep (2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset, standard bore hole). If a new bore or prep is needed, we discuss it upfront.
Do you carry high-security lock brands?
Yes — we work with Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, ASSA Abloy, and Schlage high-security lines. These offer key control (keys can’t be copied without authorization) and better pick resistance.
Can you repair a broken lock after a break-in attempt?
Yes. We can replace the damaged cylinder, reinforce the strike plate, and assess whether the door frame needs repair. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
