The locking device can be repaired in most cases that are not associated with a vandal opening, but it all depends on the profitability of such a repair. If the budget-level lock has broken, then it will be more expedient to replace it with exactly the same new one, since the cost of repairs will be equal to the price of the locking device itself or even higher. And it may even be more cost-effective to install a lock of a different configuration and size with additional work on the door. Do not forget that it may be necessary to restore the door after a break-in or the use of tools by employees of the Ministry of Emergencies.
In some cases, the door lock cannot be repaired inexpensively and quickly - some parts inside it can burst that cannot be bought and replaced, but can only be machined to order or removed from another donor model of the same type. So, it happens that the model of the lock that was installed on the door has not been released for a long time and all that remains is to choose another model for replacement, suitable for the parameters of embedding or imposition.

Expensive locks break less often for natural reasons and even for reasons of improper operation, but when they fail, you should try to repair them by replacing spare parts - usually for expensive models in factories, they specifically provide for the release of spare parts and repair kits, based on already known reasons breakage.
In any case, if provided by the manufacturer, it is always possible to repair the lock without opening the case by replacing the cylinder (the larva is also a secret) or the rotor - these are the components of the mechanism that are responsible for the main functionality and secrecy of the locking device.
It is better to choose a new lock with the same parameters as the previous one. Most likely it will be the same model. Otherwise, additional work on the door will be required. Alteration of a seat for a new lock is always more expensive and does not always turn out aesthetically pleasing for objective reasons - as experience shows, in most cases, "alteration" must be covered with overlays of a larger size. If you want to install a locking device of a different type, it is necessary to inspect the door on site.
First, you need to tell the master what model of the lock is installed in your door, or what his key looks like, how many bolts he has, does he have a handle, is it invoice or mortise? It depends on this whether it will be necessary to expand the seat in the metal door for a tie-in or drill holes for mounting the locking device in an overhead way.
The reliability of Chinese doors Bronya or Outpost together with MasterLock door locks is clearly not a positive legend. The Chinese doors supplied to Russia were previously positioned as "Kaliningrad", but in Kaliningrad only the issue of customs clearance was resolved.
A distinctive feature of the Forpost door is a polymer coating under a tree and pronounced panel patterns, as a result of which the Chinese doors were nicknamed "chocolates". A really shiny door leaf is very similar to a chocolate bar, but the Chinese MasterLock locks and security fittings are clearly not in “chocolate” and do not stand up to criticism.
Installed Masterlock door locks often break, deviators stick and jam, and Masterlock no key door handles come off after the second week of use. The repair of Chinese pens is absolutely useless, there are simply no spare parts - only replacement with new ones.
But not everything is so bad, in case of theft or loss of keys, the larva on the Chinese door can be re-coded and use the lock further. The cylinder of the Chinese castle Master Lok has a comprehensive protection of the Shield structure, which includes a steel plate against burglary, and the larva itself is under the armored cup.
In case of replacing Master Lok locks with similar ones, not made in China, nothing can be picked up and installed instead of the main lock with handles, and the door handles themselves must be replaced only with Chinese ones, but if you wish, we can remove the Masterlock no key reverse system. After replacing, you will no longer slam the door without a key and you will not find yourself in front of the closed door of the Outpost.
The cost of repairing or replacing Master Lock door locks is from 2000 rubles and depends on the model and equipment of the installed mechanisms.
Chinese designers for the Outpost entrance door invented the no key function in Master Lok door locks. Using the function boils down to the fact that when the door is closed, the Masterlock is closed by lifting the door handle up.
Standard locks can be locked only with a key or a spinner (lamb) located from the inside, and in the presence of the Masterlock no key system, move the handle upwards from either side.
You can quickly get used to the no key system; it is enough to learn one important rule: the key should always be with you. Of course, the Masterlock no key automatic locking system is quite convenient, but there is a high probability in a hurry to forget the bunch of keys and automatically slam the door.
When the Chinese metal door is closed correctly, a double click of the lock is clearly audible. When the latch on the door handle is triggered, the locking bolts enter the mating grooves on the frame. The Masterlock can be opened from the outside with a key, and from the inside by pulling the handle down.
If you have any difficulties with using a lock on a Chinese door, please contact us, we will reliably and qualitatively eliminate the problems that have arisen!
Forpost metal Chinese doors can be equipped with an additional Master Lock lock.
If the letter S is indicated in the passport, this means that an additional lock has been inserted into the door with a lever-operated mechanism. This is one of the most reliable, but also the simplest locks, consisting of a set of coded levers.
Turning the key and opening the Master Lock is possible only if the protrusion on the key beard coincides with the cutouts on the levers. Master Lock locks can have three or four crossbars, and depending on the model, they are different in thickness.
Complete with five keys, folding and non-folding. The number of security code combinations reaches 250 million. Masterlock S locks meet the requirements of GOST No. 5089-97
To protect against burglary, drilling and power turning, the cunning Chinese installed a protective hardened plate on the lock case.
If you decide to change, replace Master Lock locks in the Chinese front door, then our masters will not be able to replace locks with similar or more burglar-resistant European manufacturers - they simply will not fit the seats.
Masterlock - Anti6umping cylinder
The Outpost doors are equipped with a highly secret antibumping cylinder mechanism with two sets of replaceable keys.
The bumping method of opening larval locks is based on the transfer of energy to the pins pressed into the cylinder, due to periodic blows on a specially turned blank key. The pins in the larva bounce chaotically, and by turning the bumping disc at the right moment, you can easily open the lock.
Masterlock Cylinder Protection Anti6umping is provided by unique pin placement. When scanning a key, two planes are involved: in the lower part of the cylinder, the pins read the perforated part of the key, and in the upper part, additional pins read the snake pattern or a curved line that protects against the possibility of picking up a duplicate keys.
Masterlock - cylinder with transcoding function
Masterlock cylinders have the function of recoding the lock to use a new key. This feature is convenient because it is not necessary to change the lock in case of loss or theft of keys, it is enough just to reset the action of the previous set.
The Masterlock cylinder is equipped with three types of keys - red, yellow and green. Red and green keys are the main ones, so they can be used at the same time when operating the Chinese Forpost door.
However, in case of loss, for example, a red key, it is necessary to recode the lock for the action of only the green set. To do this, use the yellow key and turn it in the lock, which will reset the action of the red keys. After that, opening the Outpost door will only be possible with a green kit.
The Masterlock cylinder is available in two versions of duplicate keys: 3 red / 1 yellow / 5 green or 5 red / 1 yellow / 5 green (marking 3 + 1 + 5 or 5 + 1 + 5).
Chinese larvae with a transcoding function do not have protection against bumping and are available in two types: with a gear or a flag in the middle.
If you need to urgently replace the lock cylinder in a Chinese door - contact us! Our craftsmen will select the size of the larva removal that best matches the thickness of the door leaf.
China-made door handles may have different additional functions depending on the door model.
For example, the no key automatic locking function when the handle is lifted up. Masterlock door handles with automatic locking have one big drawback - the keys forgotten in a hurry in the apartment lead to the opening of the lock.
Another model of Chinese Master Lock handles is equipped with Master Light keyhole illumination. To turn on the backlight, you must press the button hidden under the door handle. If the light does not light up, then you need to replace the battery, which is located in the door handle.
Most of the door handles for Chinese metal doors have the same mounting dimensions, so they are interchangeable. New sets of handles for Chinese metal doors with right opening are marked with the letter "R", and with the left opening with "L".
If you are not satisfied with the automatic "reversible" system for closing the door, then we offer repair and replacement of the masterlock door handles with a "non-reversible" system, which will allow you to close the Chinese front door only if you have a key.
DeadBolt or DeadBolt No Key locks belong to the class of mortise locks and are installed in a Chinese door as an additional locking device.
The lock bolt included in the door frame is made of high-strength steel, and the lock body has additional elements of protection against force effects, which excludes opening the door by pressing or drilling the cylinder.
It is not possible to open the DeadBolt Masterlock by picking a lock pick, as the cylinder has more than 3,000,000 combinations of secrets.
The type of lock is a key / spinner, the outside of the Chinese lock is closed with a key, and from the inside with a spinner. The set includes five keys and a plastic card for making additional duplicates.

If you have never come across such devices of the Masterlock lock, then it is better to entrust the replacement or its repair to a professional master.

These locks are recommended to be installed as additional locks in the upper part of the door leaf. This type of lock has good secrecy. If the mechanism breaks down, we can replace or repair it on the spot. The convenience of closing this model is that for the complete departure of a single bolt, it is enough to make half a turn with the key, returning the key to its original position, it easily comes out of the keyhole. The lock is closed.
A device of this type of lock has a function (no key) without a key. Very convenient for quick closing. Did it happen that you need to change the lock or does it need repair?

There are several varieties of door handles on Chinese locks. Closing by lifting the handle upwards, all bolts of the system are closed by two turns. The disadvantage of this function is that when the key is forgotten from the inside, it leads to the opening of the lock, since it will no longer be possible to open the door with the key. The second version of illuminated handles (reinforced version) is suitable for both conventional locks and automatic locking, as it is universal.
Replacing the cylinder or cylinder mechanism in the Forpost doors is done after removing the handles or partially disassembling the lock. These mechanisms have the function of recoding "Traffic light" (red, yellow, green). Therefore, if the key is lost, it is enough to simply reset the functionality of this kit. Replacement is carried out only if the cylinder is broken. If it is not possible to fix the larva, then we will be able to select and replace it with high quality.

Cylinder mechanism Antibumping has an additional row of cylindrical pins, which makes it impossible to open the lock without keys. The cylinder mechanism can be recoded for other keys that come complete with a lock. This makes it possible not to change the cylinder if only one key is lost.

It depends on this whether it will be necessary to expand the seat in the metal door for a tie-in or drill holes for mounting the locking device in an overhead way.
How to fix a lock on a door if it suddenly breaks down? Such an unpleasant situation requires an urgent solution, especially when it comes to the front door. In this case, you can make repairs yourself. What is required for this and what actions need to be performed?
To know how to repair it yourself and not damage the door lock, you need to familiarize yourself with its design. There are many types of mechanisms. For an entrance wooden or metal door, the following systems can be used:
- cylinder - the key is small in size, with notches and protrusions;
- lever - a key on a long leg with "wings" on the sides;
- disk - a small semicircular key with notches;
- Phillips - The wrench is similar to a Phillips screwdriver.
The main types of door locks for the front door
The principle of operation of such systems lies in the features of the locking elements: cylinders, levers or disc plates. Cross locks are similar to cylinder locks, but they do not differ in reliability, since the lock can be broken with a simple screwdriver.
Also distinguish between overhead and mortise locks. It is quite easy to repair the invoice, as you only need to remove the escutcheon. But it will be more difficult to correct the mortise on your own. You should not undertake repairs if you are not familiar with the rules for installing the mechanism, since a door lock of such a plan can only be repaired by disassembling it.
Repair of a door lock largely depends on the nature of the breakdown. It is not always possible to fix the problem with your own hands.
A common cause of door lock breakage is failure of the locking mechanism tongue
The most common problems are the following situations:
- The tongue does not snap. The reason may be an insufficient size of the mating hole. In this case, you need to bore it or displace the iron plate. The pad of the lock itself at the end of the door can block the tongue. It may also be skewed due to frequent use of the door, due to wear and tear of the mechanism. It is necessary to adjust its position.
- It is difficult to open the door. It can be blocked by a skewed lock or a door frame. The problem is corrected by adjusting these items.
- Key sticks, turns poorly, or does not insert. Especially often, such a breakdown occurs in the locks of a metal door. The reason may be clogging of the mechanism or displacement of its individual parts. To repair it, you need to disassemble the lock, clean it, lubricate it and install it in its proper place.
- The lock is jammed. The reason lies in the state of the larva. Repair of the lock, its replacement or complete change of the lock can help.
Do-it-yourself repair of the lock on the front door largely depends on the type of larva mechanism. It is in this detail that the source of the problem most often lies. For a metal door, cylinder and lever locks are most often used.
Replacing the larva will help extend the life of the locking mechanism
How to fix a cylinder lock on a door with your own hands:
- Remove the armor plate.
- Unscrew the retaining screw at the end of the door.
- Pull out the cylinder.
- Replace it with a new one and put all the parts back.
In the case of a lever mechanism, it is better to completely replace the lock, since it is highly likely to break again. If the tongue is ignited, you need to disassemble the structure and adjust its position.
Other types of mechanisms are less reliable or do not have adequate quality replacement parts on sale. First of all, this applies to disc and cruciform locks.Therefore, it is easier to install a new lock than to repair a broken larva.
A more complicated situation is when the spacer mechanism becomes unusable. In this case, the repair is carried out by removing the door from the hinges and disassembling the door leaf. The peculiarity of this lock is that when the door is closed, additional crossbars are extended both vertically and horizontally.
Any locking mechanism requires periodic lubrication
Let's say you checked the security status and did not find the source of the problem. All parts are intact and are in place. How to repair a lock with a working cylinder in a metal door with your own hands? Most likely, the cause of the breakdown lies in the clogging of the mechanism. This situation is not uncommon, especially when it comes to a metal door.
In this case, do-it-yourself repairs are as easy as shelling pears. Unscrew the lock first. Remove all parts of the mechanism. Blow thoroughly and use a stiff brush to remove any accumulated dust and other dirt particles. Then wipe down the larger parts with a cloth. Apply a small amount of lubricant to a cotton swab and carefully clean each piece of the lock. Assemble it and put it back in place. Check the quality of his work.
Please note: after such processing, the key may become contaminated with lubricant for some time.
Quite often, it is required to repair the lock in the interior door. There is a large load on them, and therefore, over time, the tongue begins to sink, the handle sticks or the latch dangles.
How to repair a lock in an interior door with your own hands:
- If the problem lies in the sunken latch, it is necessary to disassemble the lock and reinstall it. The spring may need to be replaced.
- If the handle is loose and does not return the tongue to its original position, you need to check its attachment relative to the pivot mechanism. Then put it back in place and tighten with screws. From time to time, you need to carry out a similar procedure and lubricate the mechanism to prevent its breakdown.
- When the latch jams, you need to disassemble the part of the lock that is responsible for fixing it. The reason may be displacement of the part, rubbing of elements, their deformation or cracks. In this case, you need to replace the damaged part with a new one.
- If problems arise with the turnkey lock, the repair is carried out according to the same principle as for the front door. Perhaps replacement of the larva or simple cleaning of the mechanism is required.
If all efforts were in vain, you can call the master. However, you will most likely need to install a new lock.
