Door Lock Problems
7 Common Door Lock Problems and Solutions
Different types of door locks can present different problems, but we have listed some common ones below.
Here are the Most Common Door Lock Problems:
1) Sticky Locks
If you need to jiggle your keys a few times before they catch the lock, you should consider repair or replacement before the lock completely gives way.
2) Frozen Lock
This occurs when moisture gets into a lock and the temperatures drop. Be careful trying to fix this yourself. Don’t ever force the key into a frozen lock or you will likely find yourself with a broken key. Although you can try a deicer, it pays to contact a Paragon Locksmith who is on call for emergencies 24 hours a day. We have the best solutions for frozen situations that will not cause damage to your lock or keys.
3) Misalignment
If you find that your door lock won’t latch into position, a professional adjustment may be necessary. For the best maintenance, we recommend that you have an annual lock checkup. A Paragon specialist can save you money and protect you from dangerous and uncomfortable situations.
4) Key Broke in Lock
Snapping a key in a lock is never good and can be a real problem. This is a relatively common problem. To avoid this, be careful when locking and unlocking your door.
5) Door Won’t Close Properly
If your door doesn’t shut all the way or won’t latch properly, this can make locking the door difficult. The bolt needs to align correctly with the strike plate, and the door itself has to fit properly within the frame for the lock to work right.
6) The Lock is Broken
The mechanics of the lock itself may be the problem. If this is the issue, it’s best to hire a professional locksmith like Paragon Security to help you replace the lock.
7) The Key has Trouble Inserting
This can be caused by using the wrong key. So check it is the right one before calling a locksmith for help unlocking your door. It also could be that the lock is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
