Lock Repair and Replacement
A lock that sticks, scrapes or feels loose is giving you time to deal with it before it stops working. We repair the parts that can be saved and replace worn locks when that is the safer choice.
GetKeys Auto comes to homes across Port Elizabeth and Gqeberha. We check the lock, the key and the way the door sits in the frame, then explain the repair before work starts.
How lock repair and replacement works
Tell us what the lock is doing. Call or WhatsApp 084 513 4914 and explain whether it sticks, spins, feels loose or has been damaged.
Send a clear photo. A picture of the lock, handle and edge of the door helps us identify the type.
We arrange the visit. You get the expected callout and price before we set off.
We check your authority. You need to own, rent or manage the property.
We inspect the full door. The key, cylinder, latch, bolt, hinges and frame are tested together.
You choose the repair. We explain what can be fixed and when replacement is safer.
We complete and test the work. The door is locked and unlocked from both sides, and every new key is checked.
We're out this way most weeks — so you'll find us near:

FAQS
How do I know if my lock needs repair or replacement?
A lock can often be repaired when the cylinder, latch or alignment is causing the problem. Replacement is safer when the case is cracked, badly worn or damaged during a break in.
Can you repair a lock that is difficult to turn?
Yes in many cases. The cause may be dirt, a worn key, a loose cylinder or a door that has moved out of line. We check all of those before replacing anything.
Can you replace a lock without damaging the door?
Yes. We remove the old hardware carefully and fit a lock that suits the existing door and opening. We only change the door when damage makes that necessary.
Do you repair locks after a break in?
Yes. We check the lock, frame and strike area, secure the door and replace any part that can no longer protect the property.
Can you make the new lock work with my other house keys?
Sometimes. If the cylinders are compatible, we can key them alike so one key opens several doors. We check this before fitting the new lock.
Do you work on gates and sliding doors?
Yes, we can check many common gate, security door and sliding door locks. Send us a photo first so we can bring the right parts.
