Common Issues
Problems We Solve
Real issues our customers face — and exactly how we fix them.
Problem #1
Broken Key Stuck in Lock
The Issue
A key snapped inside your lock cylinder, and DIY extraction risks permanent damage to the mechanism.
Our Solution
Our technicians use precision extraction tools to remove the broken key without harming the lock. If the cylinder is damaged, we replace it on the spot.
Problem #2
Door Won't Lock or Close Properly
The Issue
A misaligned frame, worn strike plate, or damaged latch leaves your home or business exposed overnight.
Our Solution
We diagnose the alignment issue, adjust or replace the strike plate, and ensure your door latches securely — same visit, no follow-ups.
Problem #3
Signs of Attempted Break-In
The Issue
Scratches around the keyhole, bent door frames, or pry marks mean someone tried to get in — and might try again.
Our Solution
We re-secure your entry points, upgrade to high-security deadbolts, and reinforce the door frame to prevent future attempts.
