Service / Hardware replacement
Lock Change
Remove and install new locks, deadbolts, and handle sets.
Sometimes the lock itself is the problem: worn, forced, rusted, or simply not the level of security you want anymore. A lock change swaps in new hardware, from a single deadbolt to a full handle set. You can supply the hardware or ask the technician what they carry.
When this is the right request
- Lock damaged after a break-in or forced entry
- Deadbolt sticks, wobbles, or will not fully throw
- Upgrading to a sturdier deadbolt
- Replacing mismatched hardware across several doors
Understanding the work
A new lock must fit the door thickness, backset, existing holes and strike arrangement. Decorative finish alone does not establish compatibility.
Ask your technician to check door alignment as well as the lock. A bolt rubbing the strike can make new hardware difficult to operate too.
What affects your estimate
- Number of doors, hardware type and whether the lock is supplied by you or the technician.
- Existing door preparation and any approved fitting or strike adjustments.
- Keying requirements and additional parts needed for the agreed installation.
If the scope changes after inspection, agree on the revised work and charges before proceeding.
Practical care and prevention
- Test the bolt with the door open and closed; report binding instead of forcing it.
- Keep installation instructions, keys and any manufacturer warranty information.
- Do not compromise required emergency exit operation when choosing replacement hardware.
Before the visit is complete
Check that handles return freely, the latch holds and the deadbolt extends without pushing or lifting the door. Confirm the agreed key arrangement and that people inside can use the intended exit hardware.

Questions about lock change
Does a new lock mean new keys?+
Keyed replacement hardware usually includes keys, while keyless hardware may use codes or another entry method. Compatible cylinders can sometimes be keyed to match existing doors; confirm the arrangement before installation.
Can a damaged door frame be fixed too?+
Some technicians handle strike plate and minor frame repair; major frame damage may need a carpenter. Ask during confirmation.
Should I buy a replacement lock before the visit?+
You can, but confirm fit and the requested installation first. Keep packaging and all parts. Your technician can explain whether the selected hardware suits the existing door.
Will changing a lock solve a door that will not close?+
Not necessarily. Hinges, the frame or the strike may be the cause. Explain the closing problem so the technician can distinguish lock work from other door repairs.
