Lock Latch and Bolt Replacements from Orions Locksmith Felida

latches often fail before anything on a lock and especially if it’s a Kwikset latch! Design flaws are the easiest explanation, but there are other considerations as well. The entrance latches have a smaller deadlatch that’s supposed to sit on the outside of the latch plate, preventing the latch from being forced back. The plates are often too wide and alignment issues are very common. This sets up a bad sequence of events that leads to the latch failing and that's typically when the door is closed, preventing you from opening it. Kwikset uses a thinner Deadlatch than most and this adds to the susceptibility. We can replace your latch and if need be, the entire lock.

Door alignment issues

These are the main reasons why latches and bolts fail. There are several causes: improperly drilled holes, incorrectly positioned strike and latch plates, sagging hinges, bowed doors, excessive gap between the door and frame, and just settling from age. Orions locksmith of Felida can correct your door and lock alignment.

Mailbox Lock Replacements

USPS can typically replace cluster box locks, but oftentimes the wait is in excess of two months. Stand-alone mailboxes are outside of the scope of USPS and often require specialized locks, or modifications to the locking cam to work properly.

Locksmith Felida, Lock Rekeying Services

Rather than replacing a functional lock, the combination can be changed. This is a more cost-effective way to regaining access to the door and regaining key control. Typically, residential locks should be keyed alike, but exceptions exist. This allows you to use a single key to operate all the locks.
The most common reasons you would rekey a lock would be for:

• Lost or stolen keys
• Staff turnover (caretaker, maid, nanny)
• Evictions
• Estates
• Binding keys (worn keys and lock pins)
• New property lease or purchase
