Why Newport Trusts Us for Lock Repair

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.

lock_open

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.

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.

Solving Lock Repair Queries for Newport

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.

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.

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.

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.
