When is door lock repair needed?
Lock repairs may be needed in many cases. Among the most common reasons are the following:
- incorrect installation of locks or the metal door itself;
- non-compliance with the rules of operation of the mechanism;
- physical deterioration;
- skewed doorway - most often a consequence of settling of the house;
- the recoding was carried out by an unqualified technician;
- attempted break-in - in this case, repairs are necessary for security reasons.
If the locking mechanism breaks down, it is not always necessary to buy a new lock. Qualified repairs will restore the functionality of the locking mechanism - it will work flawlessly for a long time. You should contact us if you notice the following signs of damage:
- the door cannot be slammed shut;
- to activate the mechanism, excessive effort must be made;
- the lock periodically or constantly jams;

Do not wait until the last minute if you see changes in the operation of the locking mechanism. You should be wary of the following nuances:
- The key is stuck in the cylinder (it may soon break)
- The cylinder mechanism opens with a grinding noise
- The canvas has to be lifted every time it is opened.

A timely contact with our service will save you from troubles.

If you need to get inside urgently, calling the Ministry of Emergency Situations is a last resort. Employees of this service will open access to the apartment. But the price will be a breakdown of the protection in the apartment or the canvas being cut from its hinges.
How are locks repaired?
The first stage is a thorough diagnosis, which should never be neglected. Thanks to the use of the most modern tools, our company’s craftsmen can determine with a high degree of accuracy exactly which parts are faulty and do not allow the mechanism to function correctly.
Failure analysis makes it possible to determine the cause of the failure. And without eliminating the source of the breakdown itself, it is simply impossible to guarantee that the mechanism will continue to function properly. That is why diagnostics plays a major role.
Work to restore the functionality of the locking mechanism can have varying degrees of complexity. Their volume is determined based on the diagnostic results. Among the most frequently required operations are the following:
- tightening, cleaning and lubrication;
- recoding;
- troubleshooting the secret part;
- repairing the tongue or latch;
- repairing handles;
- strengthening the lock with armored linings;
- modification of the counter part - required when the door leaf is skewed.

It happens that it is necessary to urgently remove the mechanism after an unsuccessful attempt to enter the house. Attackers break the security so that the door cannot be opened with the “original” key. The owner rashly tries to unlock the apartment or invites a friend. Using improvised devices, they cause even more damage to the household.

- Frame misalignment will result in the need to replace the entire entry system with handle.
To prevent this from happening, call professionals. We open devices of various systems, from overhead and mounted to mortise.
How to perform the replacement yourself - basic steps
If you decide to change it yourself, follow these instructions:
- Open the locking mechanism so that the bolts go completely inside it.
- Remove the cylinder if you are replacing the cylinder device. If it is a lever, remove the key from the key hole.
- Remove the handle and armor plate.
- Unscrew the bolts at the end of the door.
- Remove the old mechanism, install a new one in its place, performing all the above steps, only in reverse order.

Better turn to professionals. Our craftsmen have everything necessary for a quick and high-quality replacement. We will free you from unnecessary hassle and unnecessary material expenses.
The lock is broken, how to get into the house - expert recommendations
Finding yourself in such a situation is not the most pleasant pastime, but in order to get inside, you will have to solve this difficult problem. Here are some tips from experts that will help you figure out the solution to the door problem yourself.
If the structure is wooden, then there is a high probability that it has become deformed due to the high humidity of the environment, so you can go to your neighbors and ask them for a hairdryer or heating device to get rid of the dampness and try to open the door.
Is the lock jammed in the iron door? Then the autopsy will be carried out depending on the system group. After defining it, it will be easier to understand which method will be suitable for this group.
For example, if jamming occurs in a cylinder-type structure, then you will not be able to solve the problem yourself; only a qualified specialist will help. Among the defects that only a professional can handle are the key not being pulled out of the hole, difficulty in turning it, and the process being accompanied by creaking sounds.
If the breakdown occurred in a lever-type system, then to get inside you can grind off the area of the longitudinal protrusions, or press a little on the hole of the well.

Typical constipation problems and solutions
The key is inserted with difficulty and not completely
Defect of the cylinder or lever mechanism. Here you can’t do without a specialist and the appropriate tool. Most likely, you will have to remove the lock (secret).
Well contamination
It needs to be washed. It is better to use a “liquid key” (WD-40), which is injected into the lock. Options include machine or vegetable oil, kerosene. This is done several times, and after each filling of the lock with liquid, a key is inserted into it and attempts are made to push it deeper. At the same time, it turns as far as possible until it stops. As a rule, two or three “series” of such operations are enough to clean the canal. In some cases, a needle or wire helps, which can be used to pull out individual fragments.
Stuck debris
This happens when trying to hack. If an attacker is scared off by someone, he will try to hide traces of his presence. And so he breaks the master key and leaves. If this is the reason the lock is jammed, then a piece of metal can easily be pushed out from the back side. But only if someone is at home and can open the front door from the inside. It is better not to try to fix this problem yourself from the outside.
The key won't come out
As a rule, this indicates that the lock on the door is broken. You should try to remove the key from the well using the recommended lubricants. To prevent this from happening again, you should immediately replace either the entire mechanism or its cylinder.
Difficulty turning the key
It is necessary to determine in what cases this is observed.
- If the mechanism jams in any position of the sash, it should be cleaned; This is the result of dirt.
- When jamming occurs only when the door is closed, there is deformation of the block or leaf. The problem can be solved by sampling material in the area of the castle, but only if the structure is wooden. As a rule, distortions in the metal frame cannot be eliminated; they will have to be replaced.
Latch stuck
This is often an obstacle to opening the door, even if the key is turned all the way. The problem can be solved with the help of any thin and hard object - a knife blade, a metal ruler. Alternatively, for lack of a better option, a plastic card.
The door leaf needs to be pulled a little away from the jamb by inserting a chisel, large screwdriver or ax into the gap - whatever you can fit. This will make it easier to access the tongue that the selected “tool” clings to. After several attempts, you can press it into the lock, and the sash will swing open. But even in this case, you will have to disassemble the locking device and determine the defect. The most likely cause is a weakened or broken spring mechanism.
Lock malfunction
If all of the above methods do not produce results, and the inspection does not reveal any defects in the door and frame itself, then there is only one diagnosis - the locking device is broken.
Possible causes of the malfunction
- Manufacturing defects.
- As a rule, these are the consequences of its illiterate installation, and problems with the lock appear quite quickly.
- Increased wear of parts. By the way, this often happens if “not native” keys are used, but duplicates. Moreover, they are made according to the sample without removing and disassembling the locking device.
- Keyhole clogged.
- Neglecting the requirements for periodic lubrication of the mechanism.
- Gradual deformation (distortion) of the door block or leaf. This is the case when thinking about how to open a jammed lock is a waste of time. Most likely, you will have to either remove the canvas or cut off the loops (depending on their type).
- The defects are in the key itself. Many people use it not only for its intended purpose, but also as an improvised screwdriver, bottle opener, and the like. Naturally, over time, such a key in the lock becomes more and more difficult to turn, and at a certain moment (usually the most inopportune one) it jams.
- Hacking attempt.
Next, you should evaluate the complexity of the malfunction and your capabilities. For example, if a metal door is jammed, then you obviously cannot do without a special tool. And you will definitely need outside help. If it is wooden and fairly new, then solving the problem by knocking out the canvas is also inappropriate.
And only after analyzing all the factors can you make a rational decision on what to do in the event that the door is deformed or the lock is broken.
