Our Lock Repair Process

At Atlanta Locksmith Corp, we follow a systematic approach to ensure every lock repair is completed to the highest standards:

1. Initial Assessment and Diagnosis When you call (404) 649-0256, we'll gather information about your lock issue and provide an estimated arrival time. Upon arrival at your location, our experts perform a thorough examination of the lock mechanism, testing the key action, checking for binding, and identifying damage to internal components like pins, springs, and the cylinder plug.

2. Transparent Estimate Before beginning any work, we provide a clear price estimate with no hidden fees. We explain what's causing the problem—whether it's worn pins, a shear line misalignment, or physical damage—and outline the repair solutions available within your budget.

3. Professional Repair Work Our technicians use specialized tools to disassemble the lock without causing additional damage. We replace worn or broken components, realign the plug and cylinder, address binding issues, and test the mechanism multiple times. For locks with torsion or pressure problems, we make precise adjustments to ensure smooth operation.

4. Testing and Quality Assurance After completing the repair, we test the lock extensively with both the original key and duplicates to ensure proper function. We verify that the door latches securely, the key turns smoothly without hard resistance, and all security features work correctly.

5. Maintenance Recommendations We provide advice on how to prevent future problems and extend the life of your locks, including proper lubrication techniques and signs to watch for that might indicate developing issues.

Common Lock Repair Situations We Address

Key Won't Turn in Lock One of the most common issues we encounter is when a key inserts but won't rotate. This typically indicates worn pins, misaligned cylinder components, or debris inside the lock mechanism. We can disassemble, clean, and repair these locks to restore smooth operation.

Door Lock Sticks or Binds If you're experiencing hard resistance when turning your key, the lock may have internal friction from worn components or improper installation. Our technicians can adjust the strike plate alignment, replace worn springs, and lubricate components to eliminate binding.

Broken Key Extraction and Repair When a key breaks off inside a lock, it's tempting to use pliers or try to force it out. This often makes the problem worse. We use specialized extraction tools to safely remove broken keys without damaging the delicate pin stacks and cylinder.

Lock Damage from Break-In Attempts Attempted forced entry can damage lock cylinders, bend components, and compromise security. We assess the extent of damage and determine whether repair or replacement is the better solution for restoring your security.

Weather-Related Lock Problems Atlanta's humidity and temperature fluctuations can cause locks to freeze, rust, or swell. We address weather-related damage with appropriate repairs and weatherproofing solutions to prevent future issues.

Lock That Won't Latch Properly Sometimes the issue isn't the lock mechanism itself but the alignment between the door, frame, and strike plate. We make precise adjustments to ensure your door closes securely and the latch engages properly at the bottom and top.
