Loose handles, dragging bolts, doors that won't latch, we repair the hardware and alignment so your doors work like new.
A door that won't latch usually has a misaligned strike, a sagging door or hinge, or worn latch hardware. These are repairable without replacing the whole door. Locksmith Raleigh repairs door hardware and alignment throughout Raleigh.

We figure out whether the lock, the door, or the strike is the real problem, because forcing a stiff lock usually just makes it worse.
We talk through repair versus replacement honestly, and we do not push a new lock when a service or a rekey will do the job.
You get the price before the work, and once we are done the lock turns smoothly and the door latches on the first try.
Most of the calls we take for door, lock & bolt hardware repair fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Here are a few we see often around Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle:
A buyer closes on a place near downtown Raleigh and wants the locks rekeyed rather than guessing who still has a key.
A homeowner wants the front, back, and garage-entry doors all turning on one key.
A worn cylinder turns rough and grabs halfway, so it gets serviced before it fails for good.
A back door was kicked at some point and the strike never seated right again.
For lockouts and rekeys on a home, we may ask for proof that you live there or have the right to be on the property. It protects you as much as anyone, and any honest locksmith should do it.
If we spot something else worth knowing about, a loose hinge, a strike that is about to give, a door that is dropping, we will mention it. You decide what to do about it.
We show up in a marked vehicle stocked for the work, so most jobs are handled on site in one visit instead of a parts run and a second appointment.
The type of lock or hardware matters. A basic cylinder is one thing; a high-security or restricted system is another, and the parts cost more because they do more.
What a job costs comes down to a few honest things, and we would rather explain them than hide behind a vague number.
Whatever the job, you hear the full price before we begin. There is no meter running and no surprise added at the end.
The condition of the door and frame plays a part. A lock that fails because the door has dropped or the strike is chewed up needs that underlying issue fixed, not just the lock swapped.
Where you are and when you call factors in too, and we will give you an honest arrival window for your spot before anyone is committed to anything.
We service and install knob and lever sets, deadbolts, mortise locks, and high-security cylinders, and we can rekey most of them so old keys stop working without the cost of all-new hardware.
If you are not sure what you have or what you need, that is normal. Tell us what the door is doing, or send a photo, and we will point you the right way before anyone commits to anything.
We are a mobile locksmith based in Raleigh, which means the work happens where you are. Around the city we get out to Midtown, Wakefield, ITB neighborhoods, and Falls of Neuse regularly, and we cover the wider Triangle including Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Garner, and Knightdale.
Because we live and work here, we are used to the doors and hardware common to this area, from older homes inside the beltline to the newer subdivisions and offices going up around the edges of Wake County. That local footing is part of why Door, Lock & Bolt Hardware Repair tends to go smoothly rather than turning into a guessing game.
We look at the cylinder, the door, and the strike. Many sticking or loose locks are a service or an alignment fix rather than a replacement, and we will tell you honestly which it is.
For most homes, yes. Rekeying changes the pins so old keys no longer work, which is exactly what you want after a move or a lost key, without the cost of new hardware.
