Working with Boulder City's older doors

Boulder City began in 1931 as housing for the people building Hoover Dam. Its historic district still has homes dating to the 1930s. Older doors can have mortise hardware, worn cylinders or frames that have changed alignment over time. The first step is finding out what can remain in service.

Growth in Boulder City is limited by ordinance, and gaming is not permitted. We handle the locks and door hardware of homes and local businesses without assuming newer hardware will fit an older opening. A replacement should be chosen for the door that's there, not simply for its appearance.

  • Inspection of older residential lock hardware
  • Mortise locks, deadbolts and door alignment
  • Commercial locks and mechanical door hardware

Six lock problems worth checking

Older buildings and desert conditions can produce different problems. We check the hardware before choosing a repair or replacement.

  • Old mortise locks

    A historic home may have a mortise lock fitted into the door. We inspect its condition and dimensions before discussing repair or replacement.

  • Doors that no longer line up

    A door that has shifted may leave the bolt rubbing against the strike. Hardware adjustment can be more appropriate than changing the key cylinder.

  • Keyways packed with grit

    Graphite or a dry lubricant made for locks works better in dusty keyways than oil, which holds grit and can make a stiff lock worse.

  • Metal gates that bind in heat

    At temperatures over 110°F, metal gates and frames can expand enough to affect latching. We check both the lock and its alignment.

  • Sun-worn lock hardware

    Direct sunlight can fade exterior finishes and keypad surfaces. Smart lock batteries also need closer attention in high heat.

  • Business doors that won't latch

    A worn closer, loose hinge or dragging threshold can keep a shop door from latching. We examine the complete door hardware.

“The lock on our older Boulder City house had become hard to turn. The locksmith checked the door alignment and explained why adjusting the hardware made more sense than replacing the entire lock. We approved the written price first, and he tested the latch with us when the work was finished.”

Call (702) 000-0000All questions
Will you come to Boulder City for a late-night house lockout?

Boulder City emergency service normally runs from 7 AM to 9 PM. Overnight calls are considered when a van is available. Call the dispatcher to check availability and receive an estimated arrival window.

Why is there an extra charge for a Boulder City visit?

Boulder City is farther from our main Las Vegas valley service area. A $25 travel charge is added to the regular $39 service call fee, and the work itself is priced separately. Dispatch explains the applicable fees before sending a van.

Can you repair a mortise lock in a 1930s Boulder City home?

We service mortise locks, but repair depends on the lock’s condition and available parts. The technician inspects the hardware and explains whether repair or replacement is suitable. No changes are made without your approval of the written price.

Can you make a replacement car key while I'm in Boulder City?

For supported vehicles, our mobile equipment can cut and program replacement keys at the vehicle. Tell dispatch the year, make, model and whether you have a working key. Some vehicles require dealer-only programming, which we’ll explain before dispatch.

Do I need to bring an old Boulder City lock to your workshop?

Most locksmith service takes place at your property, where we can inspect the lock together with its door and frame. Our workshop is in Las Vegas and operates by appointment only, without a walk-in counter.
