No doubt, repairing a lock is one of the most cost-effective ways for homeowners to better their physical security. Sometimes, though, the only option available is to completely change them.

When Should A Lock Be Changed?

A door lock can be repaired if all its integral components are intact. Plus, they all need to be in perfect working conditions.

Our technicians won’t be able to tell whether you need a chance of locks or not until they have examined the state of the existing one. If the problem is out of hand already, they will recommend a change, If not, they will repair it.

Essentially, your lock is past repair when it has been damaged beyond the repairing stage. Blunt external force, constant pressure, and frequent use are common things that damage locks.

If a burglar attempts to break your door, the locks on it can be damaged in the process. This often happens with doors subject to high traffic. However, it is recommended to change your locks as often as every 5 years.

Fast & Effective Locks Replacement

Typically, locks need to be replaced if you can afford to do so every time they develop a major issue. While repairing can be 99 percent possible in some cases, replacing it makes more sense—especially after attempted break-ins.

With the help of our experienced technicians, those locks should be changed in 20 to 30 minutes. But that depends on the grade of the lock involved and the method applied to uninstall and reinstall. In some cases, it takes less than 20 minutes and takes more than 30 minutes in others. It all depends on what we have on the ground.

Superior Locksmith’s turnaround time is much faster when you are installing the same model of locks as the previous one. When this is the case, the door will be already primed for a locksmith to insert the locks, easily.

But if you are replacing an entirely new lock—or an upgrade altogether—the technicians will spend a bit more time on the job.
