Everyday lock trouble

A front door may have a deadbolt that will not turn, or a key that stops halfway in the slot. You may see a house key bent at the tip, a cylinder that spins, or a strike plate scarred where the bolt keeps missing. At a car door, the key may be gone, locked inside, or snapped off in the lock. In Dalton, we also help when a business key turns rough or the latch sits tight against the door. In each case, you are looking at the part that will not move.

Cars, homes and businesses

For homes, we work on house locks, deadbolts, cylinders, keys, strikes, and reinforcement plates. That can mean a worn thumb turn, a loose cylinder, or a strike plate that leaves the bolt catching on the edge. For cars, trucks, and vans, we handle lockouts and cut replacement keys, then program fobs and transponder keys when the key head or remote is gone. For Dalton businesses, we fit and repair storefront and office door locks, swap cylinders, and replace failed parts on the latch or key side.

Before the work starts

Before we start in Dalton, it helps to see the key, the door face, and the lock side that acts up. A caller can describe whether the key turns partway, sticks hard, or will not enter the slot. It also helps to note if the deadbolt, knob, or lever feels loose, and whether the strike plate shows marks from the bolt. For a car, the make, model, and the kind of key or remote shape the work on the door. For a safe, the door and anchor points matter from the start.
