Lock Brands We Repair in Dubai
We repair locks from the brands found in most Dubai homes, from simple latches to high-security cylinders and smart locks.
Not sure what brand your lock is? A photo of the lock face is enough for us.
- 01
What should I expect to pay?
- Mostly AED 150 to 450 for home work. You get the exact figure once we have seen the lock.
- 02
Turning the key takes effort.
- Wear in the key or the cylinder. A fresh cylinder typically ends it.
- 03
The handle rattles.
- Screws have worked loose or a part has worn. We tighten or swap it.
- 04
The door bounces open.
- Typically a misaligned strike plate, which we adjust.
- 05
The balcony lock is awkward.
- Dirt or wear, most often. Cleaning, adjusting or replacing fixes it.
- 06
The key will not come out.
- Leave it alone. We release it carefully and inspect the lock.
- 07
Is it my cost or the landlord's?
- Read your tenancy. Everyday wear often falls to the landlord.
- 08
Can a lock be too worn to mend?
- Yes. In that case a new lock is better: lock change in The Gardens.
- 09
What is the usual duration?
- Between half an hour and an hour.
- 10
Are you available late?
- Yes, round the clock.
- 11
In humid weather my door swells and rubs.
- Frames and wood shift with the seasons. Easing the door or adjusting hinges lets it close cleanly all year.
- 12
The flat is a few years old and the lock feels tired.
- Locks wear down. Replacing a cylinder or latch early is much cheaper than a lockout, and we will tell you if repair is not worthwhile.
