In this blog entry, the professional Daytona lock repair experts here at Green Locksmith Daytona will detail the three main types of door lock repairs that we regularly provide to residential and commercial properties.
Door Latching Issues
If your door won’t properly latch, it should be repaired as soon as possible. Latching issues usually indicate that the latch isn’t aligned properly with the strike plate. You might be able to fix this by tightening the hinge screws or moving the strike plate around. It can be a minor repair – or require total adjustment of the door itself. Make things simpler on yourself by contacting Green Locksmith Daytona if you ever notice that your door isn’t latching properly.
Stuck Door Locks
Sometimes interior locks freeze up due to excess use or impacted dirt. Try first putting a little bit of graphite into the keyhole and activate the lock a few times to get the graphite to sink deeply into the lock mechanism. If this doesn’t work, try using a lock de-icer solution to free up sticky or dirty deposits impacted inside your lock. If this doesn’t work, contact Green Locksmith Daytona for expert, instant assistance.
Broken Keys Inside Locks
A common repair that we provide here at Green Locksmith Daytona is removing broken keys from inside of locks. Many people try to extract broken key pieces from their locks themselves – which we don’t recommend, as this can cause keys to get even more stuck inside lock mechanisms, leading to the need for more extensive lock repairs, or even total lock replacement. If you ever break a key off in your residential or commercial lock, contact Green Locksmith Daytona as soon as possible for instant, efficient, speedy, and highly affordable Florida broken key extraction service, provided on a 24/7 basis directly to your home or business.
