I next anticipated that I would have to replace the entire door (I was expecting that to cost $5,000-$10,000 because I would have wanted it replicated) but I went to Locks N Pulls to ask them about options. They said that replacing the mortise lock shouldn't be a big deal. I was excited. Then, I couldn't find anybody to replace the mortise lock. Finally, I contacted Jim's Locksmiths and told him my situation. His immediate response regarding replacing the lock was, "Doubt it can be done. Mortise locks of that age are all different and it would probably require extensive work on the door and frame or a wrap-around with metal." Nonetheless, I asked him if he could take a look, understanding that several other highly-rated (Angie's List and everywhere else) locksmiths had indicated it was essentially a hopeless situation. He came that afternoon, very promptly. He was super-professional and took a look at the situation, disassembled the lock and said, "Look....this shaft is badly bent." He took it out to his van and about 30 minutes later, came back in and said that the shaft was so badly bent that it broke while he was straightening it. Not to worry, though! He actually created a new one. He also did what he could with my stripped-out doorknob and he said he thought it would hold, but he couldn't be sure. He said that I could find a new knob if I wanted and he would come replace it an no additional charge. A month later, his repair remains perfect. The doorknob has never worked this well since I bought the house 20 years ago. I got to save my original hardware and somewhere between $1000 (what I had budgeted for replacing the mortise lock) and $5,000-$10,000 (if I had to replace the door) This guy was a true professional. I'm so happy to have found him. He alone was worth the cost of many, many years of subscriptions to Angie's List.

I called the home office to have someone come out and look at the problem. They had the same locksmith call me back who again said the lock was broken prior to his arrival.

It was done as fast as possible with a great degree of professionalism. The locksmith was very personable and even went above and beyond to tighten the hinges on the door. He also placed a latch lock on the door for extra security while he was repairing the lock itself.

I live in a 1937-era house. The front door is one of my favorite parts of the house and I love the hardware, but over 80 years, the interior handle had gotten progressively looser, to the point that it had fallen out in my hands a few times. Over the years, I'd had three other highly...

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Kansas City, MO
The cost to hire a locksmith ranges from $50 to $200 but can cost up to $500. Cost factors vary but may include your location, the urgency of the request (emergencies typically cost more), and the complexity and size of the job. With many homes moving from standard mechanical locks to smart and electronic security and locking systems, locksmiths may charge more for the expertise and equipment needed to do the work required by these systems.
Yes, many locksmiths can usually program a key fob for your car. The cost for car dealerships to replace lost or stolen key fobs can get expensive. Alternatively, check with a local professional locksmith to review your options and prices.
Typically, it’s cheaper to rekey your existing locks than to install new ones. The cost to rekey ranges from $80 to $160, while the cost to change locks ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the type of locks. The value of rekeying vs. replacing locks depends on the condition of your locks and whether or not you already want to replace them.
Yes, the cost to hire a reliable, professional locksmith is worth it, especially if you have a larger job like replacing all the locks and doorknobs in your house.
