Antique Locks Restoration Experts in Maryland, DC & NoVA

A century-old mortise lock that sticks, a rim lock missing its skeleton key, an original latch worth saving. King Locksmiths restores historic hardware with insured technicians, period-correct parts, upfront pricing and 25 years across the DMV. Call now or book online.

Why Restoring an Original Lock Beats Replacing It

Original hardware carries the character of a Victorian townhouse or Federal-era farmhouse, and a drill-out or big-box swap destroys it. Professional antique lock restoration keeps the brass, bit key mechanism and mortise case intact while making the door secure.

Licensed, Bonded & Insured and serving Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia for 25 years, King Locksmiths quotes restoration free.
