Decorative replacement – sometimes our valued customers just want a nicer looking lock to match the overall Decor of a house.
An old lock breaks that’s on a door which is frequently used. Often rust can damage a lock. In addition, forcing a key into a lock that should be cleaned and lubricated will wear the cylinder mechanism down faster.
Important Note
When extracting a key from a lock or opening a lock for another reason, a locksmith should never start by drilling the lock. If a locksmith is working along these lines, call us instead. Drilling a lock permanently destroys the mechanism. In that case, you will indeed need a new lock.

Because there are so many customization for sliding door locks, we prefer to first talk to homeowners to explain your options.
FENCE AND GATE LOCKS
Alamo Key & Lock works on all kinds of outdoor fence and gate locks, including keypads and combination locks. Unlike other types of locks, there aren’t many choices when it comes to combination locks, since most combination locks can’t hold a gate against all kinds of weather and intrusion. The most common combination lock for gate and fence security that we use is the Kaba combination lock.
