Questions about this locksmith request
Can a broken lock be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A fault may come from alignment, a cylinder, latch, handle or internal mechanism. A good request describes the symptoms so providers can explain whether adjustment, component replacement or a complete lock change is likely.
What should I do if a key is becoming stiff in the lock?
Avoid repeatedly forcing it because the key can snap or the mechanism can worsen. If safe, stop using the affected lock until it can be assessed and explain whether the stiffness happens with the door open, closed or both.
