Lock Repair

Door locks on a vehicle see weather, grit and years of use, and eventually they suffer for it.

Why Car Door Locks Fail

Most drivers use the remote every day and the door cylinder almost never. That is exactly why it seizes: road salt, rain and grit sit in a lock that is never turned, and the parts inside corrode. The day the fob battery dies is usually the day people find out.

What the Repair Involves

The technician removes the door panel or cylinder as needed, cleans or replaces the worn parts and makes sure the lock works with your existing key. Where a cylinder is beyond saving, it can be replaced and matched to your key so one key still runs the car.

Simple Habits That Help

• Turn the key in the door lock now and then so it does not seize
• Use a graphite or dry lubricant, not household oil
• Replace the fob battery at the first sign of weak range
