Most common reasons why you need lock repairs

Occasionally, you may find your door or window lock sticking, or it could become seized or worn, but the most common issue is that the lock is jamming as it is in the way of the lock hole. In many cases, the lock repair issue can be solved with just a minor lock adjustment.

• Jammed lock - Extreme weather conditions, a broken key that is stuck in the lock, excessive rust, are some of the reasons for a jammed lock but don't worry, we can fix it.
• Warped door frame - With time and humid weather, decay can take its toll and cause warping of the frame. This will compromise the lock because the locking mechanism will be misaligned.
• Seized lock - Key will not turn the lock? This is usually a good indication that the lock is seized, probably because some substance blocks it.
• Faulty key - Of course, the problem might be the key itself. If it is not cut properly, you will find it difficult to insert.
• The key broke in the lock -There are many reasons why the key may break inside the lock, but using extra force is the most common one.
• The key is stuck in the lock - It usually happens due to a poorly cut key or some fault of the lock itself.
• Worn out/broken lock - With time and use, you can start to experience the difficult turning of the key, which is a good sign that something is going wrong.
• Misaligned lock - Maybe the lock wasn't installed correctly in the first place, and there is some misalignment. The parts don't fit perfectly, making it hard to open or close.
