3 Common Lock Repairs
Here at King Locksmith, we’ve seen every type of lock issue under the blue. However, some lock issues occur much more often than others, to a degree that’s essentially guaranteed due to door construction and design. In this blog entry, the door and lock repair experts here at King Locksmith Charleston will detail the 3 most common lock repairs that we provide our customers.

Security Door Lock Issues

Popular for a reason, security doors outfit with a durable deadbolt provide exemplary levels of security to both homes and businesses. However, high security door locks have complex mechanics, and when they experience issues, they will require the expertise of a trained locksmith like that of the team here at King Locksmith. Door frames can easily become deformed, pressing the lock outside of the proper position. Cylinder locks can also become to stiff, impossible to turn - and door handles can loosen up to the point where it no longer exerts control over the door’s seal. In these cases, the lock chamber can be removed and/or replaced, the handle repaired and reattached, or the door frame realigned to fit in place with the lock.  

Malfunctioning Window Locks

Window locks often come in two pieces - a part attached to the window, and a separate component that screws on to finish the lock. These two small pieces of equipment are easy to misplace - as well as their vital accessories like their keys, screws, or clamps. Luckily for you, the experts and King Locksmith will have this range of small parts ready to reinstall, and can provide replacements for any lost parts that may have fallen off your window lock mechanisms. Additionally, lock removal and brand new window lock replacement is always an option!  

Door Knob Issues

Door knobs often suffer issues due to excessive force of operation. Cheaper doorknobs sometimes automatically lock themselves when the door is slammed hard enough, which can lead to lockouts - often during which the doorknobs are further damaged in frustrated  attempts to get back in the room. The experts here at King Locksmith can easily remove the doorknob’s chambers are replace them with brand new ones, as well as replacing the entire door knob itself.
