Lock Repair service, 24/7 across DC
A key that sticks, a deadbolt that will not throw, or a latch that misses the strike is often repairable. We diagnose whether the lock, the door or the frame is the problem. In DC’s humid summers, swollen wood doors cause many of these calls.
What this service covers
- Sticking or hard-to-turn keys
- Loose knobs, levers and handle sets
- Deadbolts that do not line up with the strike
- Latch and strike plate adjustment
- Break-in damage repair and reinforcement
How a lock repair job goes
The technician works out whether the fault is in the lock, the door or the frame, then repairs or replaces only the failed part: a latch, a spring, a cylinder or a strike.
What affects how long it takes
- Whether parts for that lock are available
- Whether the door or frame has moved
- Break-in damage, which often means replacement

Lock Repair FAQ
Should I spray WD-40 in my lock?
Use a dry graphite or PTFE lock lubricant instead. Oily sprays attract dirt and gum up the pins over time.
Can a lock be repaired after a break-in?
Often the lock is replaced and the door and frame are reinforced, which we can do in the same visit.
Repair or replace?
Repair if the lock is good quality and parts exist. Replace if it is worn out or was low grade to begin with.
Why does my lock stick in summer?
Wood doors swell in humid weather and the bolt goes out of line.
Can a break-in damaged door be fixed the same day?
Usually yes, with a new lock and reinforcement.
