Lock repair & replacement in Ottawa & Gatineau
Get help with a broken, worn, sticking or unreliable lock. Request an assessment to decide whether repair, adjustment or replacement suits the problem.
When a lock will not work properly
A key that is difficult to turn, a cylinder that moves unexpectedly or a latch that does not engage can point to different problems. Explain whether the issue occurs with the door open, closed or both. Door alignment and hardware condition should be considered together. Replacing a cylinder alone may not solve a problem caused by a misaligned door or frame.
