Diagnostic Lock Repair for Exton Property Owners
That Lock That Sticks Every Single Time
You know the one. Turn the key, fight it, jiggle, try again. You've been living with it for months. It's probably a worn cylinder or misaligned latch—often fixable prompts on-site.
Key Turns But Nothing Happens
The key rotates but the bolt doesn't move. The latch isn't catching the strike plate. Something's disconnected or misaligned. Usually repairable without replacing the entire lock.
Doorknob Wobbles Like It's About to Fall Off
It's gotten progressively looser over years. Internal screws are stripping, the mounting plate is worn. We can tighten, replace internal components, or tell you when it's time for new hardware.
Lock Cylinder Just Spins Freely
When the cylinder rotates without resistance, the internal cam or tailpiece is broken. We can usually replace just the cylinder—not the entire lock.
Key Is Getting Harder to Insert or Remove
Something's worn, dirty, or bent inside. Left alone, you'll end up with a key stuck in the lock or a complete failure. Easier to fix now than deal with a lockout later.
High-Traffic Commercial Area
Exton Square Mall and surrounding retail generate frequent car lockouts. We respond professionally to get shoppers back on track.

Our Comprehensive Lock Repair Capabilities
Step-by-Step Lock Repair Mastery
Diagnose the Actual Problem
We examine the lock, test all functions, and identify exactly what's failing. Not guessing—actually diagnosing.
Honest Assessment
We'll tell you: repair vs. replace, cost vs. benefit, and what we'd do if it were our own door. No upselling, no unnecessary replacement.
Quote Before We Work
You know the repair cost before we touch anything. If it doesn't make sense, we'll tell you other options.
Repair Using Proper Parts
We carry common replacement parts: springs, pins, cylinders, strike plates. Most repairs completed on the spot.
Test Thoroughly
We test the repaired lock repeatedly—from inside, from outside, with the door open, with the door closed. It works right before we leave.
"Office park after-hours lockout. Security couldn't reach building management. Kwikey verified my credentials, got me in to grab urgent documents, and secured the door behind me. Professional and flexible!"
"Office building needed new storefront locks after a break-in. Kwikey recommended Adams Rite commercial grade locks and installed them the same day. Much more secure now and the insurance company was satisfied."
"Had Kwikey install Grade 1 Schlage deadbolts on our front and back doors. The technician drilled perfectly centered holes, installed reinforced strike plates, and made sure everything aligned flawlessly. Our doors feel rock-solid now."
Common Lock Repair Questions in Exton
Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more
Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.
Do smart locks need WiFi to work? expand_more
Not necessarily. Many smart locks work with Bluetooth for proximity unlocking. WiFi is only needed for remote access when you're away from home. We can recommend the right option based on your needs and existing tech setup.
Do you install smart locks? expand_more
Yes! We install and program smart locks from leading brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more. We can help you choose the right smart lock for your needs.
Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more
Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.
