Deadbolt Won't Turn

You're pushing, pulling, and jiggling the key but the deadbolt just won't budge. It could be a misaligned door, worn pins, or a seized cylinder. We diagnose the actual cause and fix it properly.

Lock Frozen in Winter

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.

Lock Mechanism Grinding or Loose

When a lock grinds, clicks, or feels like it's about to fall apart, something inside is worn or broken. We disassemble, identify the failed component, and repair or replace just what's needed.

Our technicians carry diagnostic tools and common replacement parts so most repairs are completed in a single visit — no need to wait for ordered parts or follow-up appointments.

Why Locks Fail

Locks fail for several reasons: worn internal pins from years of use, door settling causing misalignment, moisture and freeze-thaw cycles corroding mechanisms, or simply cheap hardware reaching end of life. Understanding the root cause helps us recommend the right fix — and prevents the same problem from recurring.

Repair vs. Replace — We'll Tell You Honestly

Not every broken lock needs to be replaced. Worn pins can be swapped, misaligned doors can be adjusted, and corroded mechanisms can be cleaned and lubricated. 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.
