📞 Call nowWhen do you need professional lock repair?
Lock repair is the right call when the mechanism is failing but still salvageable — don't rush to a full replacement before we've had a look:
🔄 Stiff or seized lock
Key turning in the air, refusing to turn at all, or requiring excessive force — often fixable without replacing the whole mechanism.
🔒 Stuck bolt or latch
Door won't close or open properly, excessive draught or play in the frame — usually a misalignment or worn latch issue we can sort on the spot.
🧷 Partial multipoint lock failure
One or more locking points no longer engage — the door feels insecure even when locked. We work on the rod mechanism and individual points.
⚙️ Misaligned strike plate
Door settling, frame shift or impact damage causing the bolt to miss the strike plate — realignment avoids a full lock replacement in many cases.
🔨 Damage after a forced entry attempt
Mechanism damaged by crowbarring, picking or kicking — we assess what can be repaired and what needs replacing, and give you honest options.
⚡ Electronic lock malfunction
Signal issues, battery problems or motor failure on a smart or connected lock — diagnosis and repair or module replacement on the spot.
If your key has snapped off inside the cylinder, our broken key extraction service handles that specifically — clean removal with no damage in 90% of cases.
Locked out with no access at all? Our 24/7 door opening service gets you back inside first — repair or replacement follows.
What's included in our lock repair service
🔍 On-site diagnosis
Full inspection of the mechanism, cylinder and strike plate. We identify the exact cause — wear, forced entry, misalignment or corrosion — and give you a clear quote before touching anything.
🔧 Unblocking & realignment
Professional lubrication, mechanism adjustment, bolt and latch unblocking, rod realignment on multipoint locks, strike plate fine-tuning for a perfect close.
🔩 Replacement of faulty parts
Common parts in stock: cylinders, bolts, latches, strike plates, springs. If only the cylinder is faulty, a cylinder replacement is often faster and cheaper than a full lock replacement.
🛡️ Post-repair security check
Once the repair is done, we test the full locking cycle, check door alignment and advise on whether upgrading to a high-security cylinder or reinforcing the door makes sense in your case.
Repair or replace? If the lock has been heavily damaged, is very old, or the repair cost approaches that of a new lock, we'll tell you honestly. A full lock replacement is sometimes the smarter long-term choice — and we'll always explain why before proceeding.

➤ See more reviews on GoogleFrequently asked questions about lock repair
Can a lock be repaired without replacing it completely?
In many cases, yes. A seized, poorly adjusted or partially damaged lock can often be brought back to full working order. If only the cylinder is failing, a cylinder replacement is usually the most economical route. A full lock replacement is only recommended when the mechanism is beyond economic repair — and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case.
How long does a lock repair take?
A simple unblocking or adjustment: 15 to 30 minutes. If parts need to be replaced, add 30 to 60 minutes depending on the model and what needs doing. We carry the most common parts on the vehicle so there's rarely a second visit.
Are you available nights and weekends for a jammed lock?
Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays. Arrival is generally under 30 minutes anywhere in Brussels and within 25 km.
Can you repair a multipoint lock?
Yes. We work on multipoint mechanisms — rod systems, individual locking points and strike plates. Depending on the diagnosis, we either repair the faulty element or replace it. A quote is given on site before any work begins.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
If the lock sticks, jams or doesn't close cleanly but hasn't been forced, repair is usually the right starting point. After a break-in, heavy wear or extensive damage, a lock replacement is generally the better long-term choice. We diagnose on site and give you both options with honest pricing — the decision is always yours.
Do you provide a quote before coming out?
Yes, always. We give you a clear price estimate by phone or WhatsApp before we set off. The quote is free, with no obligation.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes — including weekends and public holidays. Call or message on WhatsApp to confirm the arrival time based on your exact location.
