Lock Repair in Toronto
ust like anything else in the world, locks also need to be repaired and maintained from time to time. The locksmith industry has yet to be graced with a lock that can stand the test of time and constant use. It is important that you inform a professional locksmith as soon as you think there may be a problem with your lock, the sooner you notify us the easier it will be for us to repair the lock rather than having to replace it. Most blocking errors are caused by minor things that get out of hand because the owners don’t take action immediately. In some cases, you will need to call a locksmith right away to avoid further damage to the lock. For example, if you break a key in the lock, you should definitely call a locksmith to help you with the lock repair. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you will need to repair your lock and how a professional 24/7 locksmith can help you.

Breaking a key in a lock isn’t as uncommon as most people would like to think. It can happen for a variety of reasons. You may have applied too much pressure while trying to open the lock and this could have easily caused the key to break inside the locking mechanism. Regardless of the reason, it’s important to call a professional locksmith to help you fix the lock.
Leaving a lock unrepaired for an extended period of time is one of the simplest ways to compromise the security of your home. Once our locksmith technicians arrive on site, they will first attempt to remove the broken key from the lock and then evaluate the lock to make sure none of its internal components were damaged when the key was broken inside.
To extract a broken key from inside the lock mechanism, the professional locksmith will study the nature of the lock to see which method he can use. If there is a section of the broken key hanging from the lock, the repair job becomes much easier. Our technician will lubricate the lock and then grab the dangling part so it can be removed. However, in most cases there is no part of the key protruding from the lock, so our locksmiths will use a broken key puller tool. The broken key puller works by catching the bite of the key stuck in the lock and gently pulling it out. It is important that the lock is lubricated before this process begins. This will make maintenance much easier and help remove the broken key. The broken key extraction tool is an essential part of the lock repair process

If your door lock doesn’t work as it normally does, it most likely needs to be repaired. It is very likely that your deadbolt is not working properly because the internal parts may be misaligned. The bolt may not function as it should because it cannot find and engage the baseplate, or more specifically the baseplate groove, properly. In this case, be sure to contact a professional locksmith as soon as possible so they can help you.
Our professional locksmiths will start trying to diagnose exactly what could be causing the deadbolt to malfunction. If the strike plate is not secured and aligned with the bolt, it will be removed and realigned to ensure that the strike plate fits snugly within the strike plate groove. This is one of the simpler lock repair techniques, although it only works when there is actually a problem with the deadbolt. The locksmith technician might also try to file down the bolt part so that it can rest comfortably inside the strike plate.
