Solving Your Lock Repair Challenges in Lansdowne
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.
Dense Urban Housing
Lansdowne's row homes and apartment buildings have varied lock types and access requirements.
Historic Theater District
Downtown Lansdowne sees foot traffic for the renovated theater, generating occasional lockout calls.

Our Professional Lock Repair Workflow
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.
"Front door was original to my 1950s house. Lock was literally worn out from 70 years of use. Kwikey installed a modern lock that looks period-appropriate but offers modern security. Perfect balance of old and new!"
"Yale smart lock installed on our front door. The tech was patient and walked me through the setup—I'm not great with technology but now I use it every day. Even my 80-year-old mother can use the keypad!"
"HOA required us to replace our cluster mailbox lock after a neighbor moved out. Kwikey replaced just our unit's lock without affecting anyone else's box. Provided USPS-compatible hardware and three keys. Exactly what we needed."
Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Repair
Should I rekey or replace my locks? expand_more
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more
These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street.
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.
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.
How can I secure my sliding glass door? expand_more
Sliding doors are vulnerable points. We recommend a security bar in the track, anti-lift pins in the frame, and a sliding door lock that engages at multiple points. We install all of these and can assess your specific door.
