Door Lock Repair Arlington, VA

Project Description

After an attempted break-in, a client in Arlington, VA, called MacArthur Locks & Doors for a door lock repair. Because we knew how important it was for their safety, our locksmith came as soon as possible to help. First, we looked at the lock to see how bad the damage was and figured out the best way to fix it. We then suggested a lock rekey or a lock change. The client opted for the cheaper option, so we worked on rekeying the lock on their front door. We removed the lock cylinder carefully from the door, and then we changed the pins inside it to new ones. That meant the old key would no longer work on the lock. We also cut new keys for the rekeyed lock.

Throughout the process, we put the client’s needs and safety first. After changing the key, we put the lock through a series of thorough tests to see if it worked and was reliable. Also, our team gave tips on keeping the lock in good shape so it works at its best. The client appreciated how quickly and well we thought of a solution, and they were happy that their front door was safe again. Their positive review showed the quality of our locksmith service. It made us even more determined to give clients high-quality, dependable lock repair services to keep Arlington’s homes safe and secure.

Choosing the Best Solution: Lock Rekey vs. Lock Change

When it comes to securing your home post-break-in, you have options. The decision between a lock rekey and a lock change can be crucial. For our Arlington client, cost-effectiveness was a priority, and they chose to rekey their lock. To rekey a lock is to change its internal mechanisms so a new key can open it. This process is not only more affordable but also equally effective. A lock rekey is an excellent solution for those looking to enhance their home security without the higher cost of a complete lock change. Arlington residents must understand these options to make informed decisions about their home’s security.

We also believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. Thus, we will give you care tips so your lock stays in great shape. It involves regular checks and simple routines, like cleaning and lubricating the lock mechanism.
