Why does my deadbolt only stick when the door is closed?

That usually points to door or strike alignment, not just the lock cylinder.

Can you remove a broken key?

Often, yes. If the cylinder is damaged, extraction may need to be paired with repair or rekeying.

Fix sticky, loose, failed locks

A lock that barely works today is often the next lockout. Planned repair is usually cheaper and calmer than waiting.

Repair and adjustment for locks that stick, spin, loosen, scrape, fail to latch, or stop turning reliably.

We look at the full opening: lock, latch, strike, hinges, door movement, and cylinder condition.
Minor alignment work can make a good lock feel new again.
When repair is false economy, we explain replacement options before work starts.

For repair work, the visit stays scoped around access, hardware condition, and the least invasive useful option.
