Frozen Lock Repair
Cold weather can freeze moisture inside a lock cylinder, jamming the pins so the key won't turn. Call before forcing it -- a forced frozen lock is the most common way a key snaps off inside.

A frozen lock happens when moisture gets into the cylinder and freezes solid, usually after rain, snow, or a hard freeze overnight -- most common on exterior doors, gates, and padlocks left outdoors. The key may go in but refuse to turn, or refuse to go in at all. Forcing it is the single most common cause of a snapped key inside the lock, which turns a simple thaw into an extraction job. Call before forcing anything -- we'll walk through safe options over the phone and confirm whether we can help before any technician is scheduled.
What to have ready when you call: whether the key goes in but won't turn, or won't go in at all, whether the lock is exterior (door, gate, padlock) or interior, and whether you've already tried de-icer or force (so we know the current state of the lock), so we can confirm whether we can help before any technician is scheduled.
