How much is lock repair in Dubai Marina?

Most home locksmith jobs cost between AED 150 and AED 450. The price depends on the fault and any new parts. We tell you the price first.

Why do locks get stiff in Dubai Marina?

Damp, salty air and fine dust can build up inside a lock. Over time the parts stop sliding freely. Cleaning and the right oil usually fixes it.

My flat door won't latch. Is the lock broken?

Often it isn't. The door may have moved a little, so the latch misses the hole in the frame. We adjust the strike plate so it catches again.

My key is stuck in the lock. What should I do?

Don't force it, or it may snap. Gently wiggle it straight. If it won't come out, call us and we remove it without harming the lock.

Can you take out a broken key?

Yes. We use thin tools made for this. If you have no other key, our key maker in Dubai Marina service can cut a new one.

Can you fix my sliding balcony door lock?

Yes. Sand in the track and worn hooks are common causes. If the lock is too weak, we can fit a better one with sliding patio door lock installation in Dubai Marina.

My door handle droops. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes. A weak spring or loose screws make handles droop. We tighten or replace the worn part.

Do you repair smart locks too?

Yes. We check the batteries, the motor and the fitting. Many faults come from a bolt that rubs on the frame.

Should my building fix it instead?

If the lock belongs to the building, like a shared door, ask management. If it is your flat door, it is usually for you or your landlord to fix. Check your tenancy contract.

When is it better to replace the lock?

When the lock body is cracked or very worn. We show you the problem and explain why a new lock is safer.

My lock failed at night. Can you come?

Yes. We work 24/7, so a lock that fails late at night doesn't have to wait until morning.
