When to Repair or Replace Your Car’s Door Locks

keys in a car door lock

If you’re getting the sense that your car’s door locks aren’t working 100%, you could wind up in a sticky situation! Auto issues always seem to happen at the worst times, like during extreme weather or when you’re running late. R.J. Lock & Security can help you understand when to repair or replace your car’s door locks. 

How to Know When It’s Time for New Car Locks

There are a few key signs that your car locks are starting to fail. If any of these have begun happening to your truck, van, sedan, or SUV, contact R.J. Lock & Security for assistance.

Irregular or Regular Malfunctions
If your door locks occasionally stick or if they don’t respond to the key immediately on the first try, it may be time to have an expert investigate the problem. For older vehicles, replacement may be the best option, but for newer vehicles, a repair may be possible.

Key Issues

Occasionally, the problem is not the lock, but that the key is dulling and simply making a new key will allow the lock to function properly. R.J. Lock & Security can assist if this is the case.

Physical Damage Internally or Externally
Locks can be visibly damaged from the exterior of the vehicle, which would warrant replacement. Sometimes, very cold weather conditions can affect the internal workings of the lock, causing it to freeze. Routine attempts to use a broken lock can increase the damage. If you think your car’s locks are internally damaged, contact R.J. Lock & Security immediately. 

If you’re locked out of your car, call R.J. Lock & Security at 410-213-8477, available 24/7 for emergency automobile lockouts.
