Common Lock Problems

Locks fail in predictable ways, and spotting the symptoms early can save money and stress. The most common issue is a misaligned latch or strike. Seasonal changes, sagging hinges, or a shifted frame can move the latch just enough to scrape or miss the strike plate. Doors then need a “slam” to latch, which accelerates wear on internal parts. Another frequent headache is a worn or copied-too-many-times key. Keys slowly round off at the peaks. The result is a key that turns inconsistently or only after jiggling. Re-cutting from code or duplicating from a fresh master usually restores crisp engagement. We also see failing cylinders and stuck pins caused by dust, moisture, or the wrong lubricant. Graphite and harsh sprays can gum up modern cylinders. A professional cleaning, correct lubricant, and—in some cases—rekeying will bring the lock back to smooth operation. On commercial doors, a common culprit is a tired door closer that slams, won’t latch, or doesn’t fully close. That invites drafts, security risk, and ADA/egress issues. For smart locks, the usual suspects are weak batteries, mis calibrated bolt throws, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth dropouts. If the bolt binds even slightly, motors draw more power and die sooner. Calibrating the bolt and checking alignment extends both battery life and reliability. Finally, weathered deadbolts and loose thumb-turns tell you the internal chassis is wearing out. If a lock needs force, grinds, or the key comes out half-turned, schedule service—small problems turn into lockouts at the worst time.

We correct door alignment, replace worn cylinders, secure sliding doors and garages, and add reinforced strikes with 3” screws for real holding power. Have a lockout? We prioritize non-destructive entry whenever possible, then tune the hardware so it works better than before.

We rekey suites after turnover, tune closers for safe, consistent closing, and repair hinges, pivots, and latch issues that cause callbacks. Need audit-ready access control? We can plan zones, convenience keys, and change protocols so staff have the right access – no more, no less. Our stocked vans finish most jobs in one visit, minimizing downtime. Schedule service around your hours for minimal disruption, and rely on our documentation for leasing or compliance requirements.

From keyed-alike zones to restricted keys and audit-friendly cores, we design systems that withstand traffic, dust, and weather. We also address forklift-wind slam and temperature-shift alignment so doors latch on the first try.   Safety and egress come first – our installs meet life-safety and local code while maximizing uptime and reducing maintenance.
