Garage doors do more than protect your car. For many DC homes, they're the main way in and out every day. So when the door jams, won't close all the way, or the opener just gives up, it can stop your whole routine. Metro 24 hr Locksmith handles garage door repair and garage door lock problems across Washington, DC, any time of day or night. One call, and we're on the way.
We've been working on residential and light commercial garage systems for over twenty years. Old doors, new smart openers, simple mechanical locks - we fix them all. Most times, the repair takes less than you think. A loose spring, a broken cable, a misaligned track - all common, all fixable. Our job is to get your door moving again smoothly and safely.
It usually happens without warning. You press the remote and hear the motor, but the door stays put. Or maybe it shuts halfway and reverses for no reason. Sometimes the issue is electrical, sometimes it's mechanical. We start by checking both. Our technicians inspect the entire system - opener, springs, rollers, sensors, and locks - before deciding what needs repair.
We can handle most of these problems on-site the same day:
We also handle full door replacements when the damage is too severe to fix safely. If you're not sure what the issue is, we'll inspect it and explain your options clearly. No pressure, no confusing jargon - just real information so you can make the right call for your home or property.
A lot of people don't realize how connected their garage is to overall home security. If your garage door lock is weak or damaged, it's basically an open invitation for trouble. We install and repair garage locks of all types - keyed handles, side bolts, slide bars, and electronic systems. We can also rekey or replace garage door locks if you've lost keys or moved into a new place.
Our locksmiths are licensed, insured, and trained to handle both mechanical locks and modern electronic systems. Whether it's rekeying a standard door or replacing the lock entirely, we make sure it fits perfectly and works smoothly every time. We can even match your garage door key to the rest of your home if you prefer a single-key system. It's small details like that which make daily life easier.
Automatic openers are convenient until they stop responding. Maybe the remote doesn't work, maybe the motor hums but nothing moves, or maybe the sensors are out of sync. We repair and replace all brands of openers and remotes. Sometimes it's a quick reset or sensor adjustment. Other times, the motor or circuit board needs attention. Either way, we fix it on the spot or recommend a reliable replacement if yours has reached the end of its life.
We also help customers upgrade to smart garage openers that connect to your phone or security system. You can open or close your door remotely, check its status, and even get alerts if it's left open. For many homeowners, it's an easy step toward better convenience and peace of mind.
