Lock Repair Install and Adjustment

Comprehensive Lock Repair Install and Adjustment

Hardware malfunctions often stem from a combination of mechanical wear, settling foundations, and improper initial fitting. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers integrated Lock Repair Install and Adjustment services to address the entire lifecycle of your security hardware. We diagnose internal component failures, install new high-security deadbolts with precise bore alignment, and calibrate existing latches to ensure smooth, friction-free operation without the need for excessive force.

Why Trust Our Hardware Specialists

Ensuring a lock functions correctly involves understanding the relationship between the door, the frame, and the latching mechanism. We prioritize mechanical precision to prevent future lockouts and hardware fatigue. Select our team for the following technical advantages:

Accurate Diagnostics: We disassemble malfunctioning units to determine if a simple spring replacement or lubrication will suffice, or if a complete hardware update is required.
Precise Installation: We utilize installation jigs to drill accurate cross-bores and latch mortises, ensuring new locks fit flush and function without binding against the door edge.
Geometric Alignment: Our technicians adjust strike plates and hinge tension to correct door sagging, allowing the deadbolt to extend fully into the jamb without resistance.
Hardware Longevity: Proper Lock Repair Install and Adjustment reduces the physical stress on keys and internal pins, significantly extending the operational life of your locks.
Security Restoration: We verify that the latch plunger deadlocks correctly and the deadbolt reaches its full throw, maximizing the kick-in resistance of the assembly.

FAQ'S

The Definitive Lock Repair Install and Adjustment Solution

Hardware integrity is the cornerstone of residential security. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers the definitive Lock Repair Install and Adjustment service to address every phase of your door hardware’s lifecycle. We systematically overhaul failing mechanisms, install upgraded deadbolts with precise bore alignment, and perform necessary geometric adjustments to door frames.

1. Can you repair a lock instead of replacing it?

Yes. Many locks fail due to minor internal issues like broken return springs or dry tumblers. We disassemble the chassis to identify the specific failure point. If the core components are sound, we replace the worn parts and lubricate the mechanism, restoring full function without the cost of a complete replacement.”

2. Why does my deadbolt hit the door frame?

This indicates a misalignment between the bolt and the strike plate, often caused by the door settling on its hinges. Our Lock Repair Install and Adjustment service corrects this by repositioning the strike plate or adjusting the hinge tension to lift the door, allowing the bolt to throw freely into the jamb.

3. Do you install locks on doors that have no holes?

Yes. We perform fresh installations on blank doors. Our technicians utilize professional guide jigs to drill standard 2-1/8 inch cross-bores and 1-inch edge bores. This ensures the backset is accurate and the new hardware sits perfectly flush against the door face.

4. My door handle is loose and wobbles. Can you fix it?

Yes. A wobbly handle usually results from loose through-bolts or a worn spindle mechanism. We tighten the mounting hardware and adjust the latch assembly to ensure the handle sits firmly against the door, preventing the internal latch from slipping out of alignment.

5. Can you upgrade my standard locks to high-security models?

Yes. As part of our installation service, we can retrofit your doors with high-security ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts. We modify the door frame to accept heavy-duty strike plates and longer screws, significantly increasing the assembly’s resistance to kick-ins and physical attacks.

6. What is involved in a lock adjustment?

Adjustment focuses on the interaction between the latch and the frame. We file the strike plate opening or move the receiver slightly to ensure the door latches tight enough to seal weatherstripping but loose enough to open easily. This eliminates the need to push or pull the door forcefully to lock it.
