Lock Repair in Randburg
That lock doesn't have to be replaced — often it just needs the right hands. We repair before we replace, wherever it makes sense.
Many of the calls we get for 'lock replacement' turn out to be a simple repair. A worn spring, a misaligned strike, a snapped key inside the cylinder — these are fixes, not full replacements. We'll always tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the smarter spend.
Broken Key Extraction
A key snapped off inside a cylinder feels like a disaster. In practice, a locksmith with the right extractors can usually get the broken piece out in minutes and either recut you a new key or repair the cylinder on the spot.
Damaged Locks
Attempted break-ins, forced entry after a lockout, or years of grit and rain — damaged locks need to be either rebuilt or replaced. We diagnose and quote both options honestly.
Jammed Locks
A lock that suddenly won't turn is usually a mechanical issue — a broken spring, a bent tailpiece, a dropped door pushing the bolt against the strike. Almost always fixable without a full replacement.
- Deadbolts and mortice locks that turn part-way then stop
- Yale-style cylinders that won't retract
- Frozen or seized locks after rain and dust
- Handles that spin freely without operating the lock
Security Gate Lock Repairs
Trellidor, Xpanda and generic slam-lock security gates all use serviceable hardware. We repair sagging gates, replace worn cylinders, and re-tension springs to bring a tired gate back to a solid, satisfying lock.
Garage Lock Repairs
Roll-up and sectional garage doors take a beating from wind, dust and daily use. We repair jammed bottom-locks, broken T-handles and misaligned centre-locks — usually the same visit.
How we work
We open the lock, inspect the internals and identify the actual failure.
You get an honest recommendation and both prices to compare.
Common parts are carried in-vehicle so most repairs are same-visit.
We tell you what caused it so it doesn't come back next winter.
