Fix the small problem before it becomes a lockout.
A lock that needs a wiggle today is the lock that strands you outside next month. We repair sticking cylinders, replace worn deadlatches, extract snapped keys and fit new locks to anything with a door: front entries, side gates, garages, sheds and internal doors. Small jobs welcome. Fixing a ten dollar fault now beats an emergency callout later.

Lock Repairs & Installation: common questions
If the lock body is sound, a service or a new cylinder is often all it needs. We will tell you honestly when a lock is worn beyond economic repair, and when it simply needs some attention.
Yes. Sliding door locks fail often because the door drops on worn rollers and the hook no longer meets the keeper. We adjust or replace the lock and can advise on the rollers so the fix lasts.
We quote every job up front so you know the cost before we start. Bundling a few small jobs into one visit, like a sticky front door plus a side gate, is the best value.
