Lock Repair Challenges in New Kent

1980s-2020s era locks often need parts that are hard to find
Weather exposure causes corrosion and wear
Forced entry attempts damage frames and hardware
Heavy use wears out commercial lock mechanisms
Older mortise locks require specialized repair skills

Lock Repair Tips for New Kent Customers

Before calling for lock repair in New Kent, try some basic troubleshooting. If the key turns but the bolt doesn't move, the issue might be alignment rather than the lock itself. A sticking lock often just needs lubrication – I recommend graphite lubricant, not WD-40, which can gum up the works. If your lock was damaged in a break-in attempt, document everything for your insurance claim before repairs. Sometimes repair is the smart choice, but I'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Seasonal Factors in New Kent

New Kent's seasonal weather affects lock performance throughout the year. Winter freezing can damage lock mechanisms if moisture gets inside. Summer humidity causes different issues, especially for older homes. I recommend addressing any lock issues before extreme weather hits – a lock that works fine in spring might fail in January's cold or August's humidity.

What Our New Kent Customers Say

Verified Customer

Mary arrived on time and had all of the required tools and parts to get right to work. She replaced 2 locksets and added a deadbolt then re-keyed all of our entry locks to match. She even had optional finishes available in her van if we decided we wanted to change the look. She was professional, pleasant, did quality work, and her service was reasonably priced, and I would definitely hire her again.
