Window latches and cam locks are catalog parts we replace for $115, on-site, usually within the hour. A window that won't lock is a security problem worth fixing this week — not a reason to buy a new window. **Q: Someone tried to force our door and now the lock is loose and the frame is chewed up near the strike plate. What do we do?** A: Call us and we'll make it secure again — usually the same day. Pried locks and strike plates are replaced ($175 for door locks), damaged wood around the strike is rebuilt properly, and if a pane cracked in the attempt, we build replacement glass to size from $198. You don't need a new door; you need the damaged parts brought back stronger. **Q: Do you repair UPVC and vinyl window locks? Other companies keep turning us down.** A: Yes — vinyl and UPVC hardware is half of what we do. Multi-point locks, tilt latches, espagnolette mechanisms: we identify the exact part your profile uses and source it, for any brand. "We don't carry parts for those" is why we exist. **Q: The crank on my casement window spins but the window barely moves. Worth fixing?** A: That's a stripped operator gear — a standard $275 repair, done on-site. Keep forcing it and the sash drops out of alignment, which turns a hardware swap into a bigger job. Fix it while it's still just the crank. **Q: My double-hung slams shut the moment I let go. Is that hardware too?** A: Yes — that's the balancer, the spring mechanism inside the frame that carries the sash's weight. We replace balancers for $175, and the window holds its position again like day one. **Q: Do you handle commercial door hardware — panic bars, closers, storefront locks?** A: We do. Panic bars, door closers, commercial deadlatches and storefront hardware across Raleigh — serviced and replaced with a written quote up front. Businesses get the same catalog honesty as homeowners. **Q: The lock itself seems fine, but it won't line up with the keeper anymore. What's going on?** A: That's usually not the lock — the sash has settled because a balancer or hinge is failing, so the lock and keeper no longer meet. We fix the cause (balancer $175), realign the hardware, and the lock clicks home again. Replacing just the lock wouldn't have solved it. **Q: My windows won't lock (or even open) after the house was painted. Can that be undone?** A: Yes — painted-shut and paint-fouled hardware is routine for us. We free the sash cleanly, clear or replace the gummed-up latches and tilt latches, and get everything moving and locking again without gouging your paint job. **Q: How fast can you come out?** A: Hardware jobs are our quickest — most are booked within days, morning calls often land same-day, and nearly every swap finishes in a single visit because we bring the matched part with us. ## Serving Raleigh & the Triangle Our Triangle crew handles window and door hardware across Raleigh daily — from North Hills condos to Wakefield family homes — so "window lock repair near me" means someone already on your side of town.
