lock repair

Mending broken latches

Lock repair is the fixing or restoration of malfunctioning locks—whether stuck, broken, or worn.

The work ranges from simple lubrication to replacing internal components like pins, springs, or cylinders.

The landlord called someone for lock repair after tenants complained about sticky deadbolts.

Locksmiths handle most lock repair, though some homeowners attempt basic fixes themselves.
