Seized & Jammed Lock Opening: comparing quotes
Locksmith · Norfolk County, Ontario
Use another exit for now and call. From the inside the fault is usually a bolt pinned by the frame or a bent spindle, both of which the locksmith frees without damage. A main exit door should open from inside without a key or special knowledge, so the repair leaves the door doing exactly that, and if the hardware on it was the wrong type for an exit, a thumb-turn deadbolt is suggested.
Upgrades you choose on the spot
A keyhole cover, a storm door latch, a reinforced strike or a new deadbolt are optional extras some people add while the locksmith is there, each shown as its own line.
Ice and salt on the day
A cylinder frozen solid or crusted with salt needs thawing, flushing and drying before it can even be diagnosed, and a winter call is quoted with that time in mind.
Small parts behind the cylinder
Tailpieces, cams, springs, cylinder caps and pins are minor items, but each one used is named on the quote so you can see what went into the lock.
