💡 Lock Repair vs. Lock Replacement: What’s Right for You?
Not every broken lock needs to be replaced. We assess whether it can be restored to full function with a minor repair — saving you money.
We recommend repair when:
- The mechanism is intact but needs alignment, lubrication, or a new part.
- The key broke inside but the lock body is undamaged.
- The latch doesn’t align properly due to door settling.
We recommend replacement when:
- The lock is outdated or non-compliant with NYC building codes.
- It has been tampered with, drilled, or forcibly broken.
- The internal mechanism is fully seized or corroded.
We’ll always offer both options when possible and explain the pros and cons. Our goal is to provide long-term security that fits your budget.
