Locks Fixed
Door Lock Repair in Phoenix Metro
Jammed, loose, or won’t latch? We fix it right the first time so your door stays secure.
Licensed Lock Repair for Phoenix Homes and Businesses
ACME Locksmith repairs jammed and sticky locks, keys that will not turn, broken keys, misaligned strike plates, deadbolts, levers, smart locks, mortise locks, keypads, panic bars, and door closers. We are veteran-owned and Arizona ROC licensed (#271563), serving the Valley since 1997. Hiring a licensed locksmith protects you: very few Arizona locksmiths hold a contractor’s license, and unlicensed work can void insurance or leave your door easy to bypass.
Common Lock Problems We Fix
Door won’t latch
Usually a misaligned strike plate from a sagging door or loose hinges. We realign the door and adjust the strikes so it closes and locks securely.
Jammed or sticky lock
Dirt, wear, or bad installation. We clean and realign the internals for smooth turning.
Key won’t turn
We diagnose worn keys, bent pins, or cylinder misalignment and correct it.
Broken key in the lock
We remove the broken piece safely and cut a new key on the spot.
Loose locks
We tighten or replace worn parts so the lock stays solid in the door. If the screw has stripped, we can repair the holes.
Deadbolt won’t lock
If the bolt does not extend or align, we adjust the bolt, hole or strike plate.
Repair First, Replace Only When It Makes Sense
A faulty lock leaves your property exposed. We inspect the issue and, whenever possible, repair the hardware you already have. We only recommend replacement when a lock is worn out or no longer secure, and we tell you which it is before any work.
We repair deadbolts, knobs and levers, smart locks, mortise locks, keypad entry systems, panic bars, and door closers. Need new hardware instead? See lock installation or rekey service.

Max did a great job! I tried my best to install the new door knobs myself but was unable. He was able to fix my mess quickly and properly.

Was fortunate to meet Charlie today. Had a unique latch situation and we were able to rectify it. He was easy to talk to, patient, attentive. What more could you ask for!

Came in to the shop because the gas tank door lock was having a difficult time working. Had to wiggle and stuff to get it to work.
Carter came out to look at the lock. Took him less than 30 seconds to figure it out.
Took him less than … More five minutes to fix it.

Lock Repair FAQ
My door won't latch when it closes. Can you fix that?
Yes. It is usually a misaligned strike plate or a sagging door. We realign the door, strike, and hinges so it latches and locks correctly.
Can you get a key out that broke off in the lock?
Yes. We extract the broken key and cut you a new one on site.
Should I repair or replace my lock?
We repair whenever the hardware is sound, which is cheaper. We only recommend replacement when a lock is worn out or no longer secure, and we explain why first.
Do you repair commercial door hardware?
Yes. We service panic bars, closers, mortise locks, and storefront hardware to keep your doors working and code compliant.
Are you licensed?
Yes, Arizona ROC #271563, veteran-owned, bonded, and insured. Very few Arizona locksmiths hold a contractor’s license.
Can you fix a door that will not latch without replacing the lock?
Usually yes. It is almost always a strike or alignment issue. We realign the door, hinges, and strike so it latches and locks again, no new lock needed.
Do you repair smart locks?
Yes. We fix smart locks that will not respond, were installed poorly, or stopped latching, and we tell you if a replacement is the better value.
Signs You Need Lock Repair
A few signs it is time to call: you have to jiggle the key to lock or unlock, the door will not latch or stay closed, the lock feels loose or spins freely, you hear grinding or feel resistance turning the key, the deadbolt does not line up with the strike, or a key broke off in the lock. Waiting usually turns a small fix into a lockout.
