Diagnosing and fixing locks that stick, turn stiffly, will not latch, or have loose or misaligned parts. Tell us where you are in Arizona; we confirm availability for your address before anything is arranged.
Illustrative imageMany lock problems start small: a key that is hard to turn, a latch that does not catch, or a deadbolt that only locks if you push on the door. Lock repair looks at the lock, the door, and the strike plate to find the cause and fix it where that makes sense. If repair is not practical, we explain why and what the alternatives are.
What's included
- Diagnosing why the lock is sticking, binding, or failing to latch
- Cleaning and lubricating the lock mechanism where appropriate
- Adjusting or realigning the strike plate and latch
- Tightening or replacing loose or worn components
- A plain recommendation if replacement makes more sense than repair

Authorization and safety
For repairs, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or manage the property. If the work involves changing keys or cylinders, the owner or property manager may need to approve it.
Good to know
- Parts for older or discontinued locks may not be available, in which case replacement is the practical option.
- A sagging door or shifted frame may need a carpenter as well as lock work.
- Badly damaged or heavily worn locks may not be worth repairing.
Common questions
Why is my key suddenly hard to turn?
Common causes include dirt or wear inside the cylinder, a worn key, or a door that has shifted so the bolt rubs against the strike plate. If a spare key turns more easily, the original key may be worn. Avoid forcing a stiff key, since it can snap inside the lock.
Should I put oil on a sticking lock?
Household oils can attract dirt and make things worse over time. Lock makers generally recommend a dry lubricant such as graphite or a product made for locks. If the problem continues, the lock needs a closer look.
When is a lock not worth repairing?
When it is badly worn, damaged, discontinued, or no longer secure, replacement is usually the more sensible choice. We will explain the options so you can decide.
