What is Locksmith?

• A person who makes and repairs locks.
  Locksmithing is a outdated trade and in most
• countries requires conclusion of
  an apprenticeship. The level of formal education
• required varies from country to country, from a
  simple training certificate awarded by
• an employer, to a full diploma from
  an business college  in totaling to time spent
  working as an trainee.

6 common lock problems and solutions.

• Door tresses are a part of every day life that we
  usually dont have to put much thought
• into. They keep your family/coworkers,
  properties, and stuff safe and secure so that you
  dont have to worry whenever you leave. Locks are
  really only something we think about when
  something goes wrong, and when something goes
  wrong with a lock, it tends to go awfully wrong.

• all of the trickeries of the trade to get your
  locks back on track! Below are the six most
  common problems with respects to locks and the
  solutions to help fix them.

1. KEY BROKE IN DOOR

• Weve covered this in a previous blog post, but
  its still one of the most frustrating lock
• and key problems home and business owners face.
  More often than not, broken keys
• occur when youre low on time and trying to rush
  the opening or securing of the lock. One way to
  avoid this issue is to slow down. Take your time
  when locking or unlocking your door so that you
  can not only help to prevent the key from
  breaking in the lock, but also
• to make sure that the lock is being secured
  properly and keeping your property safe.

2. KEY WONT INSERT

• There are a number of reasons why you might not
  be able to insert your key into the door lock.
  First and foremost, make sure its the right key!
  While this sounds
• straightforward, sometimes the simplest
  solutions slip the mind. Check out South Shore

  Ideas to ensure your key ring remains organized
  and that you have the correct key every time. If
  its a newly cut key, theres
• always the chance that the key may have been
  poorly cut, which is why its important to always
  use an experienced and trusted locksmith. If this
  is the case, be sure to report the issue to the
  company and get a new key made, free of charge.

3. SLOW DOOR LOCKS

• Slow locks can be a relatively simple fix. This
  problem most often occurs when dirt or
• grime has accumulated in your locks over time. If
  you want attempt the DIY method, first try a slow
  and controlled inserting of a cotton swab into
  the lock to attract the dirt. If that doesnt
  work, youll need to lubricate the lock. Never
  use oil! Oil and grease can
• actually clog up the lock and cause further
  issues. Always use a graphite or silicone spray
  to lubricate locks. Not familiar with locks or
  dont have the proper tools? Call South Shore
  Locksmith and well have one of our trained

4. LOCK SEIZURES

• When youre able to get the key in the lock, but
  not turn the key, that means
• your lock has seized up. This is one of the most
  common key problems we see as professional
  locksmiths. Again, there are a number of reasons
  this could happen, but whats most important is
  to not attempt to force it. Forcing the key could
  result in major lock damages or the key breaking
  off in the lock, which just makes matters worse.
  You can try using graphite or silicone spray to
  lubricate the lock, but if that doesnt work,
  its time to call in our South Shore Locksmith
  experts so as to avoid causing any more damage.

5. DOOR WONT LATCH 

• Often a door wont latch simply because the latch
  bolt on the door isnt aligned properly with the
  strike plate on the doorjamb. Repairs could be as
  simple as making a few minor latch adjustments or
  as complex as completely repositioning the door.
