Residential Lock Repair

The front door lock is probably the hardest-working piece of hardware in the house. Thousands of turns a year, plus rain, cold and dust, take their toll, and one day the key starts to catch or the bolt refuses to throw.

A technician from Simply The Best Locksmith works out what has worn or shifted and repairs it so the lock operates smoothly again.

Problems We Fix Every Week

• Key that catches, sticks or only works at a certain angle
• Deadbolt that will not throw unless you push or pull the door
• Loose knobs, levers or handle sets
• Lock that freezes or stiffens in winter
• Storm door and patio door locks that no longer latch

Often It Is the Door, Not the Lock

Houses settle and doors sag, so the bolt no longer lines up with the hole in the frame. Adjusting the strike or the hinges can make a lock feel new again without replacing anything.

When parts are worn, we replace them. If a lock is past saving, we will tell you and go over replacement options.

Keep Locks Healthy

Use a dry graphite lubricant once a year rather than oil, and replace worn keys before they start to bend. A worn key wears the lock faster.
