Yes. We answer the phone and dispatch technicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Lock problems don't keep business hours, so neither do we.

The door won't latch properly — is that a lock issue?

Often it's alignment. Doors and frames shift over time, throwing off the strike and latch. We realign the hardware so it closes and locks smoothly again.

It depends on the lock's condition and age. We diagnose the real problem first and give you honest pricing for both options so you can choose what makes sense.

Door Hardware Repair in Burbank: What's Really Involved

Locks and door hardware are mechanical, and every mechanical part wears. Springs weaken, pins and cams round off, lubricant dries out, and doors shift on their hinges as a building settles. The early symptoms — a key that sticks, a bolt that drags, a handle that feels loose — are easy to ignore until the day the lock finally fails at the worst possible moment.

A proper repair means diagnosing the true cause rather than masking the symptom. We inspect the cylinder, latch, strike, hinges, and door alignment together, then fix what's actually failing and tune everything so it operates the way it did when it was new.

Common Reasons Burbank Customers Call Us
