A lock acting up? Fix it before it fails.

Sticky, loose, or jammed lock? We fix locks that are failing before they leave you stranded outside.

Lock Repair Service in NYC & Long Island

Locks wear out. A key that sticks, a deadbolt that no longer lines up, or a knob that spins is your warning sign before a full lockout. We diagnose and repair worn cylinders, misaligned strikes, loose hardware, and seized mechanisms.

Where a repair makes sense we fix it, and where a lock is past saving we will tell you honestly and offer a replacement rather than charge you twice.

What we handle

  • Sticky, loose, or jammed locks
  • Misaligned deadbolts and strike plates
  • Worn cylinders and tired springs
  • Door and frame alignment issues
  • Honest repair-or-replace advice

What to expect

  1. 1Call us and tell us what happened and where you are.

Questions about lock repair

My key sticks in the lock. Is that fixable?

Usually yes. Sticking is often a worn cylinder or a key issue, both of which we can address. Catching it early avoids a future lockout.

The deadbolt does not line up with the hole anymore.

That is typically a strike or alignment problem from a door settling or swelling. We realign the strike and door so the bolt throws smoothly again.

Is repairing cheaper than replacing?

Often, yes, if the lock is otherwise sound. We will tell you when a repair is worth it and when replacement is the better value.

What our customers say

★★★★★
Elan was on time which is a plus! After I explained the situation with my lock, he gave different scenarios to choose from. He also advised me that I didn't need to change my entire lock system, only the cylinder needed changing. He did the job very fast, and explained the problem the previous tenants didn't take care of. I highly recommend Locksmith Excellence.

Elan came twice. First, right away to give the estimate and explain the job, changing out a deadbolt lock and providing five smart keys. He came back the next day and did the job. Very friendly and professional.

I needed a lock replaced on the front door. Elan gave me the price upfront and completed the project under the time he told me. Excellent job!
