Lock and knob replacement in Monterey Park
A knob that wobbles or a deadbolt you have to push the door to lock is usually an alignment problem or a worn latch. I tighten, adjust, or replace knobs, levers, deadbolts, and handlesets, and install smart locks on doors that are ready for them.

Locks and knobs questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
Why do I have to push my door to lock it?
The bolt is hitting the strike plate instead of going into it. Adjusting or moving the strike usually fixes it.
Can you install a smart lock?
Yes, on doors with a standard deadbolt bore. Send me the model and I'll check it fits your door.
Can all my locks use one key?
Yes, with locks that are keyed alike. I install them so one key works on every door.
Do you supply hardware?
You can buy it, or I can pick it up and tell you the cost first.
