Fix sticky, seized, or worn cylinders without full replacement when possible.
Lock repair is the unsung Delray Beach service - we fix more locks than we replace, because most lock problems are mechanical wear that can be corrected with cleaning, lubricant, pin swaps, or strike-plate realignment. Repair is dramatically cheaper than replacement.
Common repair scenarios: (1) the key inserts but won't turn smoothly (pin wear - we swap individual pins), (2) the deadbolt throws partially (latch alignment - we adjust the strike plate), (3) the cylinder feels rough (dust + dirt - we clean + relubricate), (4) the door won't latch unless slammed (door sag - we shim the hinges or move the strike).
Average lock repair visit: $85 - $185 vs replacement at $185 - $325. We diagnose on-site and quote before any work. If repair is not feasible (broken cam, damaged housing, severely corroded), we recommend replacement and credit the diagnosis fee.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
