Repair
Depending on the fault: lubrication, cylinder servicing, spring replacement, strike plate adjustment or mortise component replacement.
A stiff, sticky or jammed door lock is both an inconvenience and a security risk — a lock that is hard to operate can fail completely at the worst possible time, leaving you locked out or unable to secure your property. Lock Repair Satwa provides on-site lock repair across Dubai for residential and light commercial doors.
Common lock faults we repair include: worn cylinder pins (causing the key to turn with difficulty), broken springs inside the mortise body, misaligned strike plates causing the latch or bolt to bind, loose or wobbly handles due to worn through-bolts, broken cam in the cylinder preventing key operation, and general lubrication and servicing to restore smooth operation.
Where a lock fault is caused by door misalignment — which is common in Dubai buildings where temperature cycling causes frames to expand and contract — we adjust the strike plate position or sand the door edge to restore proper alignment. This avoids unnecessary lock replacement costs when the lock body itself is not at fault.
We identify the root cause of the fault before quoting. Many lock problems are simple fixes that cost far less than a full replacement.
We carry springs, cylinders, strike plates and mortise components for the most common lock types in Dubai residential buildings.
Many lock problems are caused by door misalignment, not the lock itself. We check the full door operation and fix the root cause.
A jammed lock can trap you inside or outside your property. We treat lock repair calls as priority and aim to arrive within 30–60 minutes in most Dubai areas.

Stiffness is usually caused by worn pins or lack of lubrication — both inexpensive to fix. We always assess whether repair is viable before recommending replacement.
This is typically a misaligned strike plate, a worn latch spring or a door that has warped. We diagnose and fix the specific cause on-site rather than replacing the whole lock unnecessarily.
Yes. Forced or tampered locks often have bent bolts, cracked cylinders or damaged frames. We assess the damage and either repair or replace the affected components, and advise on security upgrades to prevent recurrence.
