Lock Repair Service From $65 — licensed residential locksmith in Santa Rosa, CA.
Lock Repair Service in Santa Rosa, CA
The deadbolt is stiff. The knob wobbles.
Common lock problems we fix
Sticky deadbolts, keys that do not turn smoothly, latches that do not catch, loose doorknobs, frozen lock cylinders, and broken tailpieces. We also fix door alignment issues that put pressure on the lock — sagging hinges on older homes in Sebastopol, swollen wood frames in foggy Bodega Bay, and shifted strike plates in the apartments along McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma. Same tools, same fix.
Repair vs. replacement — how we decide
If the lock body is intact and the mechanism is rebuildable, we repair it. Did a Kwikset repair on a house near Juilliard Park in Santa Rosa — the tailpiece snapped but the cylinder was fine. Replaced the part for $75 instead of a $150 full swap. If the housing is cracked or the lock is a cheap Grade 3 unit not worth rebuilding, we tell you. Both options and costs, before we touch anything.

Lock Repair Service — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does lock repair cost?
Lock repair starts at $65. Most repairs fall between $65 and $120 depending on the problem. We diagnose for free and quote before starting. Call (707) 775-7069.
Can you fix a lock that is hard to turn?
Yes. A stiff lock usually means worn pins, a dry cylinder, or a misaligned strike plate. We lubricate, adjust, or rebuild the cylinder. Takes about 15 minutes.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a lock?
Repair is usually $65-$120. Replacement is $85-$200 including the new lock. If your lock is high-quality hardware with a minor issue, repair saves money. If it is a cheap lock or heavily worn, replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair commercial locks too?
Yes. We repair mortise locks, panic bars, closers, and access control hardware. For complex commercial repairs, see our commercial locksmith services page. Call (707) 775-7069.
