Lock Installation and Repair

Expert Lock Installation and Repair Services in Milwaukee

Affordable Locksmith LLC provides lock installation and repair services for homes, apartments, and commercial properties across Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. Whether you need a new lock installed or an existing one repaired, we deliver mobile, appointment-based service built around your schedule.

We help homeowners, tenants, landlords, and business owners maintain working locks and improve door security. Our technicians service interior and exterior doors and bring the right tools to ensure on-site clean installation or repair. From basic knobs to reinforced entry hardware, we complete each job with a focus on precision and lasting function.

Professional Lock Installation for Any Door

A residential customer called us to install a keypad lock that matched their existing deadbolt, and they were thrilled with this Schlage push-button model in the same oil-rubbed bronze finish.

We install locks on front doors, side entries, and interior doors for residential and commercial customers. Our team works with deadbolts, knob locks, mortise locks, smart locks, and lever handles, ensuring they align correctly with the strike plate and operate smoothly. We take time to ensure each lock sits flush with the door’s edge and is securely mounted.

If you’re building a new home or remodeling an older property, we can handle all your door, lock, and hardware needs for wood, metal, and composite doors.  Here are a few of the most common types of locks we install for our local clients:

• Deadbolts (single and double cylinder)
• Smart Locks
• Keypad locks (digital and push-button models)
• Keyed doorknobs, levers, and ADA-compliant handles
• Mortise locks
• Multi-point locks
• High-security locks

Lock Repair and Hardware Adjustment

Lock performance can decline over time due to wear, impact, or poor alignment. We repair locks that stick, spin, or fail to latch and restore smooth operation by adjusting internal components and correcting alignment. This work is often completed using minor parts, such as new screws, springs, or spindles.

For doors that sag or bind, we evaluate the hinges and adjust the door’s position to support proper locking. If the problem is caused by a damaged strike plate or latch, we replace those parts and verify that the door is secured properly. This repair service applies to both residential and commercial entries and can often be completed during the same visit.

Break-In Repair and Door Reinforcement

Break-ins often damage locks, door frames, or both. We provide emergency lock repair and replacement, realignment, and strike plate repair to resecure your property after a forced entry. In some cases, we recommend upgrading to stronger locks or reinforced hardware to reduce future risk.

We offer door jamb reinforcement kits and install stronger mounting plates to strengthen vulnerable entry points further. These upgrades help doors resist prying, kicking, or twisting and are especially helpful for older buildings or previously compromised entryways. We carry compatible hardware that works with standard locksets and entry doors.

Full Support for Interior and Exterior Doors

Not all lock issues involve front entries. We also work on interior doors in bedrooms, bathrooms, basements, and offices. These locks can loosen over time or fail due to damage or door shifting. We inspect the issue and recommend repair or replacement based on the condition of the mechanism and the door’s alignment.

In some cases, the door itself may be the problem. If the door is warped, split, or no longer holds hardware securely, we can install a new door with a new lock and all necessary hardware. We specialize in commercial door installation, so call us for a new steel, wood, or aluminum door for your office, warehouse, retail shop, or other commercial property!

Decorative Door Hardware and Function Upgrades

Door hardware affects both security and appearance. We install decorative knobs, levers, and entry handles in a variety of finishes and configurations. Whether you’re replacing worn hardware, updating for style, or improving security, we can help you choose new locks that work with the existing cutouts in your door, or we can make the necessary cuts to accommodate a different type of lock or an additional lock for added security.

We often combine hardware upgrades with other services, such as lock repair or door replacement, to help Milwaukee homeowners and property managers complete multiple improvements in a single service call.

Commercial Door Lock Services

We repaired a worn deadbolt on this folding security door at a local UPS store. Now they can lock up tight at night and not worry about break-ins.

Affordable Locksmith supports Milwaukee businesses with commercial-grade lock installation and repair, and door closer installation. We work with offices, storefronts, and small industrial properties that require secure, functional hardware. We can repair and install locks and hardware on all types of doors, including automatic, overhead, and folding security doors.

If a commercial door fails to latch or is difficult to open, we inspect hinges and adjust or replace hardware as needed. We install continuous hinges and door closers for high-traffic entries that improve function and reduce wear. Our commercial locksmith services are scheduled by appointment and completed on location using durable, building-grade components.
