Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lock & Hardware Services

Why is my deadbolt hard to turn?
A stiff deadbolt is usually caused by misalignment, a dry or dirty latch, or a worn strike plate. We adjust the door and hardware, clean and lubricate the mechanism, and replace worn parts only if needed.
The door latch won’t catch—do I need a new lock?
Not always. Many latch issues are due to seasonal movement or hinge sag. A proper realignment and strike-plate adjustment often restores smooth, secure operation without replacing the lock.
Should I repair or replace a worn lock?
We try to repair first if the lock body is sound. We recommend replacement when parts are obsolete, the cylinder is compromised, or an upgrade would materially improve security or usability.
Can you rekey my existing locks instead of replacing them?
Yes. Rekeying changes which keys operate your locks while keeping your current hardware. It’s ideal after moving, staff changes, or lost keys—and is often more cost-effective than replacement.
Do you install high-security or key-control locks?
We install high-security cylinders and key-control systems that resist picking, drilling, and unauthorized duplication—often compatible with your existing hardware and door prep.
What is a multipoint lock—and do I need one?
Multipoint locks secure the door at multiple points (top, center, bottom) for better weather-seal, alignment, and security—common on patio and modern entry doors. We repair and install most major systems.
Will adding a deadbolt require drilling or damage?
We use pro guides to drill clean, precise holes and reinforce the frame/strike area. The result is a neat install with minimal disruption and a major boost in security.
How often should locks and door hardware be serviced?
Annual service keeps hardware aligned, lubricated, and secure—especially in mountain climates with temperature swings. It reduces wear and prevents costly failures.
Can you open a safe without destroying it?
In many cases yes. We use non-destructive techniques whenever possible. If drilling is required, we repair the safe professionally and restore its integrity after opening.
Do you warranty your lock and hardware work?
Yes. Installations and repairs are backed by a workmanship warranty, and hardware carries the manufacturer’s warranty. We stand behind every job.
