Is it cheaper to fix a door lock or replace it?

• <div><p>The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/change-door-locks-cost.htm">replacing the lock</a> if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety. </p></div>

What are the cost factors for hiring a locksmith?

• <div><p>Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:</p><ul><li><p>Type of services required</p></li><li><p>Emergency call fees</p></li><li><p>Home and lock location</p></li><li><p>Number of locks to repair or install</p></li><li><p>Peak hours</p></li><li><p>Type of locks </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

A Circle City locksmith re-keyed all of our door locks on the afternoon that we closed on our new home. The locksmith called ahead to let us know he was on his way. He did a great job: was professional, efficient, polite and friendly. The price was great as well. I highly recommend Circle City!
