Lock Repair Done Right the First Time
Not every lock problem needs a new lock. Alameda Locksmiths repairs deadbolts that will not throw, knobs that spin freely, keys that only turn with a struggle, and latches that no longer catch the strike. Salt air, sand and fog around Alameda accelerate wear on exterior hardware, and a timely repair keeps the door secure and saves the cost of replacement.
Common repairs include cleaning and lubricating seized cylinders, replacing broken springs and tailpieces, tightening loose mounting screws, realigning strike plates on doors that have sagged, and replacing worn cylinders inside otherwise good hardware. Many customers combine this with our Smart Lock Installation service and our Gate Locks service.
We also repair commercial lever locks, mortise locks, panic bars and door closers so businesses stay compliant and secure. If a repair would cost nearly as much as a new lock we tell you so you can make the right decision.
