Lock repair & replacement in Orlando, FL
Most “broken” locks are tired, not dead: a worn tailpiece, a seized bolt, a door that swelled with the summer and now fights its strike plate. We fix the cause first — replacement is quoted separately and only when the hardware is genuinely past saving.

What’s included
- Diagnosis on the doorstep — the quote precedes any disassembly.
- Strike plates realigned so the bolt stops fighting a swollen frame.
- Spinning cylinders, worn tailpieces and sticky bolts brought back to service.
- Hardware matched to the door’s era when replacement is the right call — College Park bungalows and Lake Eola condos get different answers.
- Same-visit rekeying of whatever survives the repair.
What moves the price
- Repair versus replace — decided on the doorstep, priced before the work.
- Door material and its history of swelling.
- Hardware grade if parts are genuinely needed.
Typical range: $60–$150 for the repair. Replacement hardware, when truly needed, is priced separately and agreed before install.
Before you call
Quick answers
The key turns but the bolt doesn’t move.
Classic worn tailpiece or broken cam — usually repairable. The cylinder comes apart, the part gets sorted or swapped, and the door closes like new again.
Our door sticks every rainy season and the lock fights back.
Humidity swell — Central Florida’s signature. The fix is usually the strike plate, not the lock; realigning it costs far less than replacing hardware that was never the problem.
The lock on our 1950s ranch is original. Keep it?
Original mid-century hardware often rekeys and repairs beautifully — keeping it is frequently the better call, and we say so when it is.
Do you repair commercial doors too?
Yes — storefront closers, exit hardware and office cylinders are part of the week. Commercial jobs are quoted per door, same fixed-price habit.
You replaced the lock — can the old key still work the back door?
Not if you don’t want it to: rekeying the remaining locks to one key is a same-visit add-on, quoted before the extra work.
A lock that fights you every day?
Describe the symptom — the fix is often smaller than it feels.
