We diagnose first, then repair or replace commercial locks and cylinders in Las Vegas so you pay for the fix that is actually needed.
Common problems we fix
- Key will not turn or sticks in the cylinder
- Lock spins freely or the handle feels loose
- Latch does not extend or retract
- Lock was damaged in a break-in attempt
- Old hardware no longer meets your security needs
- Lock on a storefront door no longer secures the door
How this works
Many lock complaints are not lock failures. A door that has dropped or shifted can keep the latch or bolt from entering the strike, which feels like a bad lock. We check alignment first, since correcting it can restore function without replacing hardware.
When the lock is the cause, the fix may be as small as a new cylinder or a new latch mechanism, or as large as replacing the lock body. Existing door preparations often limit the options, so a replacement should be chosen to fit the cut-outs rather than force new cuts in the door.
Common door and hardware configurations
- Mortise locks and mortise cylinders
- Narrow-stile deadlatch and hookbolt locks for storefronts
- Cylindrical and heavy-duty lever locks
- Deadbolts and exit device trim
Repair or replace?
Repair makes sense when only a cylinder, latch or strike is worn. Replacing the whole lock is warranted when the body is damaged, the hardware is obsolete, or you want a different security level. We will walk through the options before work begins.
Signs you need professional service
- The key sticks, breaks or has to be jiggled

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a new lock or just a repair?
If only a cylinder, latch or strike is worn, repair is enough. If the lock body is damaged or unsuitable, replacement is the better route. We check alignment first, since many lock problems are really door problems.
Can you replace a lock on an aluminum storefront door?
Yes. We work with narrow-stile storefront locks, mortise locks and cylinders on aluminum doors.
Can you match existing keys across several doors?
Often, yes. Tell us about the doors you manage and what you have. We will discuss options.
