We repair locks on front and internal doors across Lviv and the suburbs — from UAH 500. The locksmith arrives in about 20 minutes and in many cases restores the mechanism without a full replacement. The work and hardware carry a written guarantee. Call any time: (063) 026-33-67.

If the key has jammed, the action has gone stiff, or a broken piece is stuck in the lock — do not force it, or you risk wrecking the mechanism for good.

When a lock needs repairing

  • The lock has jammed and the key will not turn, or spins uselessly.
  • The key turns stiffly and takes real effort.
  • The key snapped and a piece is stuck inside the mechanism.
  • The door has dropped and the bolts no longer line up with the strike plate.
  • The handle, cylinder or escutcheon has worked loose.
  • The lock freezes in winter or sticks after an attempted break-in.

How we work

  1. We go through the symptoms and the type of lock over the phone.
  2. We check the grounds: a passport and proof of ownership or tenancy.
  3. The locksmith arrives in ~20 min and diagnoses the fault.
  4. Where possible we repair or adjust the mechanism instead of replacing it.
  5. We extract the broken key, clean and lubricate, and realign the door and bolts.
  6. We check the action is smooth and issue a written guarantee.

Faults we fix

  • Jammed lock — we restore the action without breaking the door.
  • Stiff key — cleaning, lubrication and replacing worn springs.
  • Key snapped inside — we extract the broken piece carefully.
  • Dropped door — we adjust the hinges and the closing pressure.
  • Loose hardware — we tighten handles, cylinders and escutcheons.

Frequently asked questions

How much does lock repair cost in Lviv?

Repairing a lock starts at UAH 500 and the call-out is UAH 300. If the mechanism cannot be restored, fitting a new lock starts at UAH 1000.

What should I do if the key snapped in the lock?

Do not try to pull the broken piece out yourself — you may push it in deeper and damage the mechanism. The locksmith will extract it carefully and restore the lock if needed.

Can a lock be repaired without replacing it?

Often yes: we clean, lubricate, replace worn parts or realign the door. We only suggest a replacement when a repair no longer makes sense.

Why does the key turn stiffly in the lock?

Usually because of dirt, dried-out lubricant, worn springs or a dropped door. The locksmith removes the cause and the action becomes smooth again.

How fast will a locksmith come out for a repair?

Around 20 minutes across Lviv, and from 15 minutes on an urgent call. We work around the clock, 24/7, seven days a week.

Do you guarantee lock repairs?

Yes, the work carried out and any hardware fitted carry a written guarantee. Before leaving, the locksmith checks that the key turns smoothly.
