Door Lock Repair: common questions
Why does my door only lock if I push it?
The door has usually dropped or swollen, so the bolt no longer lines up with the keep. Adjusting the hinges or keep usually solves it.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the lock, the work and the time of day. Your locksmith will tell you the price before starting, and nothing goes ahead until you agree.
