Signs Your Lock Needs Service
- Handle turns, but latch doesn’t engage keeper
- Needs force to lock or unlock
- Misaligned strike/keeper; visible rub marks
- Window/door closes, but you still feel drafts
- Loose, stripped, or broken lock body/handle
Latches, Keepers & Strikes
The lock body (latch) must meet the fixed keeper/strike in the right position and depth. Wear or frame shift causes misses, partial engagement, or weak sealing—we correct both hardware and alignment.
Our Repair & Replacement Process
Inspect & identify
Confirm lock type (window cam locks, multi-point, mortise, patio sliders), handing, backset, and keeper geometry.
Match parts & align
Source compatible lock bodies/keepers and adjust reveals so latch throws fully with smooth handle action.
Secure & tune
Reinforce fasteners, set keeper depth, fine-tune compression, and lubricate moving points.
Test & verify
Confirm positive lock, proper seal, and easy operation—no slamming or forcing needed.
We Commonly Service
Cam locks & keepers (double-hung), multi-point door locks, patio slider latches, tilt/turn hardware, storefront aluminum, and more.
Optional Security Upgrades
- Reinforced strikes/keepers & longer fasteners
- Multi-point lock tuning or retrofit where applicable
- Higher-compression weatherstrip for tighter seal
- Child-safety latches and keyed options (where allowed)
Lock in smooth operation & security

Lock Repair — FAQs
Do I need a full lock replacement?
Not always. Many issues are alignment or keeper depth problems. When internals are stripped or cracked, we replace the body only.
Will this improve drafts?
Yes—correct latch engagement improves compression at the seals and reduces air gaps.
Can you match brand/finish?
We match original hardware when available; if discontinued, we use a compatible retrofit with a close finish.
How long does it take?
Typical lock repairs take 45–90 minutes per unit, depending on access and condition.
Service Area
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and nearby NYC neighborhoods. If you’re unsure, just ask us.
Quick Photo Tip
For the fastest match, send a photo of the latch and keeper/strike, plus the edge of the door/window with any labels. Use ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + S on desktop—or just snap pics on your phone.
Safety & Security
A lock that doesn’t fully throw is a security risk. We verify proper engagement and smooth operation before we leave.
