What changed first?
Think back to when the trouble started. Was a new copy made? Did the handle become loose? Does the lock behave differently when the door is open? You don't need to diagnose it; those observations help explain the job.
Greenpoint's historic district includes older row houses and wooden entrance doors. If you're working with an older door, keep the existing hardware in mind before buying a replacement. The size and shape of the new part need to suit what is already there.
Repairs for home and apartment locksGive a spare a separate home
An extra key is useful only if you can reach it when the everyday set is missing. Keeping both on the same ring won't help with that.
After a move or a change in the household, consider who still has access. Rekeying can give a suitable lock a new working key. If several doors are involved, check whether their locks can share one key rather than assuming they can.
The shop door and the upstairs entrance
Greenpoint Avenue has a long history of shops with homes above. The keys and responsibilities for those spaces may be separate.
For a business, make a short list of doors and who uses them: staff, cleaners, deliveries or a property manager. Include any lock that sticks. Changing access and repairing a fault can be discussed together without treating every door as the same job.
Lock service for businessesA few useful questions
Should I keep using a key that is hard to turn?
Don't force it. If you have another working key, mention whether it behaves the same way. A key problem and a lock or door-fit problem may need different work.
