3 Common Door Lock Repairs

• Having a fully functional locking door, whether
  its to your home or office, is vital for your
  security, and the minute the lock develops any
  sort of problem big or small it makes sense
  to have it repaired as soon as possible by a
  licensed locksmith.
• Below are 3 of the most common issues property
  owners experience with their door locks, and what
  you need to do to get them fixed

• 1.The door wont latch properly
• Usually indicating that the strike plate and the
  latch are out of alignment, if your door lock
  wont latch properly, youll need to get a 24
  hour locksmith to come and repair the damage.
  While it might be a simple task that your
  locksmith will get fixed within minutes, it could
  also mean that the entire door needs to be
  adjusted, and this is always best done by a
  professional.

• The door lock is frozen
• During the winter months, or even during an
  unseasonably cold spell in spring or autumn,
  exterior locks may freeze up, leaving your home
  or business vulnerable. In some instances,
  interior locks can also freeze up due to dirt,
  wear and tear or a combination of both. This may
  mean that you need to get a replacement lock from
  a locksmith, or you may be able to fix the
  problem yourself.
• Sometimes, a little graphite in the keyhole will
  unfreeze the lock, or a de-icer sprayed into the
  lock may work effectively during cold weather,
  and even for unblocking grimy deposits inside the
  lock.

• If the above two techniques arent effective,
  youll likely need the lock to be disassembled by
  a licensed locksmith.
• The key has broken in the lock
• When this happens and it does happen quite
  often trying to remove the key yourself can
  cause damage to the entire locking system, and
  for this reason, hiring a local locksmith to come
  out and remove it for you, is the smart choice.
  In many towns and cities, there will be at least
  one emergency locksmith who can come out and fix
  lock and key related problems at any time of the
  day or night, and having their number programmed
  into your cell is a good idea, so that youre not
  scrabbling around searching for it when you
  really need to get inside your home or office.

6

• Dont forget that they will be able to get you
  into your car quickly if the key snaps off in the
  ignition, too.
• While it may be tempting to try and fix door lock
  issues yourself, especially if youre in a hurry
  to get back inside your property, or to make the
  building secure, it usually only results in
  making the problem worse, since the average
  person doesnt have the skills or knowledge that
  a licensed locksmith will have.
