Our mobile team arrives with everything needed to fix or replace door locks, deadbolts, and lever handles. Whether you’re dealing with a stuck key, a lock that won’t turn, or damage from a break-in, we provide reliable solutions on-site without requiring a second appointment.

Lock Problems We Repair

This mortise lock had become difficult to operate, and the customer feared they’d break their key off trying to turn it. We removed the lock from the door to examine all the internal parts and see what parts needed repair.

Not all broken locks need to be replaced. Many issues can be fixed quickly with proper tools and parts. We assess the lock’s internal mechanism and check its alignment before deciding whether to repair or replace it. Common repairs include:

• Locks that are very hard to turn or won’t turn at all
• Keys that no longer turn smoothly
• Misaligned latches that won’t retract
• Loose knobs or levers
• Stuck deadbolts or non-latching doors

We repair residential and commercial locks, including common entry systems used on front doors, garage access points, and office interiors.

When to Replace a Lock

Some locks can’t be repaired safely. Full replacement is the best option if the internal parts are corroded, cracked, or tampered with. We remove the broken hardware and install new components that match your door’s size, shape, and usage needs. We recommend replacement when:

• The lock no longer engages or opens
• The key has snapped inside and damaged the mechanism
• The lock has been badly damaged during a break-in
• You want a high-security lock that will resist tampering and break-in attempts

We install a range of reliable locksets designed for light-duty and high-traffic areas. If your door lock has cosmetic value or is part of a historical property, we may be able to replace only the lock cylinder and preserve the exterior hardware.

Rekeying vs. Replacing: What’s Right for You?

We rekeyed this doorknob lock and deadbolt for a local business client after an employee left and didn’t return their set of keys.

Sometimes, you don’t need to replace the entire lock to regain security. If your key has been lost, copied, or shared, we can rekey the lock instead. Rekeying changes the internal pins so the old key no longer works, and a new key is provided. Choose rekeying when:

• You’ve moved into a new home
• A roommate or employee has left with a key
• You want to keep your existing door hardware

Choose full replacement when:

• The lock is damaged or malfunctioning
• The hardware is outdated or poorly secured
• You want to upgrade to a different key system

Full-Property Lock Assessments Available

Older homes and rental properties may have locks that appear to work but no longer offer adequate protection. We offer full-property lock inspections to evaluate:

• How well your locks align and function
• Whether the hardware is outdated or worn
• If better strike plates or bolts are needed

This is a smart option if you’re planning a trip, changing tenants, or haven’t updated your locks in several years.

We Work with Trusted Lock Brands

Our locksmiths carry and install hardware from reliable manufacturers, including residential and light commercial use products. We can install standard deadbolts, entry knobs, privacy levers, and more. If you’re unsure what type of lock you need, we’ll recommend options based on your door type and security goals.

We support most brands commonly found in Central Florida homes, rental units, and storefronts.

What to Expect During Service

We begin with a simple call or request. We’ll ask for your lock issue, door type, and whether it’s an exterior or interior entry point. Once on-site, we assess the condition of the lock and walk you through your options.

If repair is possible, we complete it using proper parts and tools. If a replacement is needed, we remove the old lock, fit a new one, and test its alignment and performance. We’ll rekey the new lock to match your existing keys when possible. Our comprehensive locksmith services include:

• Diagnosis of the issue
• Repair or removal of damaged parts
• Installation of new hardware when needed
• Testing of alignment, latch function, and key performance
