Our Lock Maintenance Services
Locks fail because of dirt, dryness, weather exposure, misalignment, and ordinary wear. Regular maintenance prevents emergency calls and extends the life of your hardware. Every maintenance visit includes:
- Internal cleaning and proper lubrication (never the wrong type — WD-40 actually damages pin tumblers)
- Strike plate adjustment and reinforcement
- Hinge tightening and door alignment checks
- Key wear inspection and recutting if needed
- Battery replacement and firmware checks for smart locks
- Weather seal inspection on exterior locks
When to Repair vs. Replace
Some issues are clearly repairs (sticky cylinder, misalignment, broken spring). Others — extensive internal damage, an outdated lock that no longer meets your security needs, or a lock that's been compromised — are better solved by replacement. We give you an honest recommendation either way and explain the trade-offs so you can decide with confidence.
