If a door will not open, a key breaks, or a lock stops working, Comstock Lock can help restore access and determine whether the problem calls for repair, rekeying, or replacement.
Help With Locks, Keys & Entry Problems
When the Key or Lock Is Keeping You Out
Lockouts can happen for several reasons. The problem may be a lost key, a damaged cylinder, broken hardware, a failed latch, or a key that has broken inside the lock.
Home Lockouts
Restore access when you are locked out of a home because of a lost key, failed lock, broken key, or other entry problem.
Business Lockouts
Help restore access to offices, storefronts, rental properties, and other business locations when a lock or key prevents entry.
Broken Key Removal
Remove broken key pieces when possible and inspect the lock to determine whether the cylinder or other components were damaged.
Jammed or Failed Locks
Diagnose locks that stop turning, bind internally, fail to release, or otherwise prevent the door from opening normally.
Lock Repair After Entry
Once access is restored, address the underlying lock or hardware problem so the same issue is less likely to happen again.
Rekey or Replace if Needed
If a key is missing or the lock is damaged, Comstock Lock can explain whether rekeying, repair, or replacement makes the most sense.
Reasons a Door May Stop Letting You In
Restore Access and Address the Cause
Getting the door open is only part of the job. If the lockout was caused by a damaged key, worn cylinder, failed latch, or another hardware problem, Comstock Lock can help identify what caused it and discuss the next step.
Common Questions About Lockouts & Access Problems
A lockout can be caused by the key, the lock, the latch, or even the way the door is sitting in the frame.
-
What should I do if I am locked out of my home?
Call Comstock Lock and explain the situation, including the type of door and what happened before the lockout. That can help determine the appropriate way to restore access.
-
Can you remove a broken key from a lock?
In many cases, a broken key can be removed. The lock should also be checked to determine whether the key broke because of wear, binding, or another problem.
-
Does a jammed lock always need to be replaced?
No. Some lock problems can be repaired. The cause could involve the cylinder, latch, alignment, worn parts, or another issue, so the hardware should be inspected first.
-
Can you help if I lost my keys?
Yes. In addition to restoring access, you may want to consider rekeying the lock so a missing key can no longer operate it.
-
Do you provide lockout service for businesses?
Yes. Lockout assistance is available for commercial properties, offices, storefronts, rental properties, and other business locations.
-
Why does my lock keep getting difficult to turn?
Binding may be caused by wear inside the lock, a damaged key, door alignment, pressure on the latch or deadbolt, or another hardware issue. Repeated difficulty should be inspected before the lock stops working completely.
