Lock Repair & Rekeying: common questions
Can all of my locks be keyed alike?
Usually, yes, as long as they share the same keyway or can be swapped to one. We rekey every cylinder to a single key, or set up a small master key system so some keys open everything and others open only certain doors.
Can a sticky or worn lock be repaired instead of replaced?
Often. Worn pins, springs and cams can be replaced, and a cylinder can be cleaned and relubricated. If the housing is cracked, the bolt is bent or the lock is a low-grade unit that will fail again, we will tell you replacement is the better value.
The key turns but the door won't open. What is wrong?
The cylinder is working but the connection behind it has failed: a broken tailpiece, a stripped cam, a latch that has seized in the pocket, or a door that has shifted so the bolt binds in the strike. Do not force it. We can usually open the door without damage and repair the part that failed.
When should a lock be replaced rather than repaired?
Replace when the lock has been damaged in a break-in, when it no longer meets the grade the door needs, when parts are unavailable, or when you want features it cannot offer such as a restricted keyway. Repair when the hardware is sound and the fault is a worn part or a misaligned door.
My lock froze. How do I free it without damaging it?
Use an alcohol-based lock de-icer or gently warm the key; never hot water, which refreezes deeper, and never force the key. Once dry, lubricate with a dry PTFE or graphite lubricant. A lock that freezes repeatedly has a water problem, usually a failed sweep or seal, and that is what we fix.
Do you rekey after a break-in or a tenant change?
Yes, and it is usually same-day. After a break-in we also check the door, frame and strike for damage that would let the next attempt succeed. For rental turnover we can rekey the suite, mailbox and any common-area keys in one visit.
