Key sticking, latch not catching, or deadbolt gone loose?
Lock repair restores your existing hardware to smooth, secure operation instead of swapping it out. As a licensed San Antonio locksmith (Texas License B19775), we diagnose the real cause - a worn cylinder, fouled pins, a tired spring, or a strike that's drifted out of alignment - then strip, clean, re-pin, or re-adjust the lock so the key turns freely and the bolt catches every time. If the hardware is past saving, we tell you plainly rather than patching a lock that will fail again.
What we repair
Most "bad lock" calls are mechanical, not mysterious. Sticking or hard-turning keys usually mean a dry or contaminated cylinder, worn pins, or a key that's wearing down - we clean and re-pin rather than force it. Loose deadbolts and wobbly knobs come from backed-out mounting screws, a stripped tailpiece, or a worn cam, all fixable in place. A latch that won't catch is almost always a strike-plate alignment issue as doors settle and frames shift in the heat - we adjust the strike and bolt throw instead of blaming the lock. We also handle broken-key extraction, replacing snapped springs, followers, and tailpieces.
When a fix won't last - cracked housing, a seized cylinder, or hardware at true end of life - we explain why and walk you through a full lock change. If the lock works fine but you've lost track of who holds a key, a rekey is the cheaper answer, not a repair.
