Common Lock Problems That Require Repair or Replacement

A local retail business’s front door lock needed repairs, and due to its age and condition, the owner opted to have both the deadbolt and hook bolt replaced.

Over time, regular use, exposure to the elements, or minor damage can lead to several common lock issues. Here are some of the most frequent problems we repair:

• Loose components: Over time, screws and other parts inside a lock can loosen, making the lock unreliable. If your lock feels shaky or the key doesn’t turn easily, it might need tightening or other adjustments.
• Worn or rusted parts: Locks exposed to weather, such as those on front doors, can rust or collect dust and debris, making them difficult to operate. This can make inserting or turning the key a struggle.
• Misaligned latch or lock: The lock can stop functioning properly with frequent use or changes in door alignment. This issue can cause the door to fail to lock securely, leaving your property vulnerable.
• The key has broken off inside the lock: When a key breaks off inside the lock, you won’t be able to turn the lock to open the door. If this happens, call us, and we can extract the broken bit of the key from the lock cylinder and get the lock working like new. We can also cut extra copies of the key.

The Lock Repair Process

At The Lockout Guy, we offer a detailed and careful approach to lock repair, ensuring long-lasting results. Here’s a breakdown of our process:

1. Inspection and diagnosis: Our first step is to carefully inspect the lock, identifying worn parts, debris buildup, and/or misalignment. This step helps us pinpoint the exact issue.
2. Disassembly: Depending on the issue, we’ll remove the lock from the door and, If necessary, remove the lock cylinder or other components to repair and lubricate everything. Whether it’s tightening screws or adjusting parts, we ensure nothing is missed.
3. Component repair or replacement: Once the problem is identified, we repair or replace any damaged parts. This could involve adjusting the latch, cleaning out debris, or installing a new lock cylinder.
4. Cleaning and lubrication: No matter the type of repair we do, to keep the lock working smoothly, we will thoroughly clean and lubricate the internal and external lock components to ensure years of smooth, reliable use.
5. Reassembly and testing: After completing the repairs, we reassemble the lock and thoroughly test it. We ensure the door locks and unlocks smoothly and perform any additional adjustments as needed.
