Delaware winters freeze locks solid. Forcing a frozen lock often breaks the key inside. We safely thaw and lubricate locks using professional methods — no hot water damage to your door.

But sometimes the damage is too extensive or the lock was cheap to begin with. We'll assess your lock honestly and give you repair and replacement options with transparent pricing for each — so you can make the right decision for your situation.
