How do I know if my lock needs repair or replacement?

Text a photo and a description of the problem. Stiff throws, loose handles, and latches that don't catch are often fixable. Stripped cylinders or security concerns usually warrant a new install—we'll tell you which category your hardware falls into.

Can you fix a deadbolt that's hard to turn?

Usually yes. The most common cause is door sag shifting the strike position—realigning the strike often solves it without touching the lock cylinder itself.

Do I need a locksmith for lock repair?

For most residential repair and alignment work, a skilled handyman is the right call. Rekeying or key cutting requires a locksmith—we'll tell you clearly if your issue falls there.

What information helps you diagnose faster?

Send a photo of the door edge (showing the latch and strike), a close-up of the knob or handle, and a brief description of what happens—sticks, spins, doesn't catch, etc.

Pricing FAQ

Do you charge a minimum service fee?: Yes. The minimum service call is $120, which covers up to 2 hours of professional labor on-site. Most small repairs — TV mounting, furniture assembly, picture hanging, shelf installation, and minor fixes — are completed within this time.
What if my project takes longer than 2 hours?: Any additional labor beyond the included 2 hours is billed at $45 per hour. We always let you know before the clock runs past the included time so there are no surprises.
Can I combine multiple small jobs in one visit?: Absolutely — and it's cost-effective. Bundling tasks like TV mounting, shelf installation, picture hanging, and minor repairs into one visit is a great way to get the most out of your service call. Just list everything when you text or book.
Do you offer same-day handyman service near me?: Same-day and same-week appointments are available across Los Angeles and nearby cities depending on the schedule. Call or text early — sending a photo of the job is the fastest way to get an accurate estimate and a quick slot.
Are materials and hardware included in the price?: Labor is always included. Materials and hardware are discussed upfront before the visit. For most installs (TV mounting brackets, shelf hardware, curtain rods, etc.) we recommend you purchase the parts so you get exactly what you want — we bring the tools and expertise.
