Door Locking Problems We Fix
If your door won't lock, we'll find the cause and fix it today.
Lock Mechanism Failure
If the locking points won't engage when you lift the handle, the multipoint mechanism has likely failed. We replace it same day.

A door that has dropped or shifted won't lock properly. We realign the door and adjust the keeps so everything engages.
Cylinder Problems
Key won't turn or only turns partway? The euro cylinder may be worn, damaged, or jammed. We replace with anti-snap options.

If the handle doesn't spring back or feels loose, the spindle or spring cassette may need replacing.
