How Abloy Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Abloy Protec2 cylinders with sticky key rotation. The rotating disc system that makes Protec2 pick-resistant also collects fine grit from Fort Worth’s caliche-heavy dust, especially in homes near the Trinity River bottoms. We disassemble the cylinder, clean each disc chamber with a non-residue solvent, and relubricate with Abloy-specified medium - not graphite, which cakes in this climate. If wear is advanced, we quote an OEM replacement cylinder with the same keyway profile.
• Abloy Classic and Executive series with sheared sidebar springs. These older lines use a sidebar mechanism that depends on small coil springs beneath each disc. After 15-20 years of use, the springs fatigue and snap, leaving the key spinning freely with no bolt retraction. We stock the correct sidebar spring kits and can rebuild the cylinder in our mobile workshop rather than replacing the entire lock - a parts nuance many general locksmiths miss, since the symptoms mimic a total cylinder failure.
• Abloy Sento and Euro profile deadbolts with misaligned strike plates. Fort Worth’s clay soils shift seasonally, and door frames move with them. The Sento’s rigid bolt throw tolerates less misalignment than tapered-bolt designs. We don’t just file the strike larger; we diagnose whether the frame has settled, shim the hinges or reset the strike location, then test the bolt under load to confirm smooth engagement.
• Abloy padlocks (PL 330/340 series) with corroded shackles. These locks see heavy use on Fort Worth storage units, gates, and equipment sheds. The hardened steel shackle resists cutting but not the galvanic corrosion that builds where the shackle meets the brass body, especially after humid Gulf air meets our summer heat. We replace the shackle with OEM-spec hardened steel, rekey the cylinder to match existing keys, and apply a dry film lubricant that won’t attract more grit.
• Abloy Digital and electromechanical units with failed battery contacts. The Digital series uses a proprietary battery tray design where the contacts oxidize from humidity cycling in unconditioned Fort Worth garages. We clean the contact assembly, replace it with the factory part if pitting is present, and reprogram the unit to existing credentials - a repair that costs roughly half of what a full replacement runs.

Our Abloy Lock Installation & Rekey Process

1. 1
   Call and scope. You describe the Abloy model, symptoms, and door type. We quote a firm price by phone, per Haven Standard Clause 1: the price on the phone is the price on the invoice.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. The technician arrives in a marked van, uniformed, with photo documentation beginning at the door. We identify the exact Abloy series, manufacture date if visible, and whether the lock is under original warranty.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If the cylinder needs replacement, we explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options. For Protec2 and Protec lines, we strongly recommend OEM cylinders to maintain the UL 437 rating and any remaining warranty. For Classic and Executive rebuilds, we may use precision aftermarket components if the customer prefers.
4. 4
   Service execution. Rekeying is done in our mobile workshop; installation includes door prep, strike alignment, and three-point bolt function testing. We operate the lock 20+ cycles to confirm smooth action.
5. 5
   Documentation and key control. You receive the new keys, a written invoice with part numbers and labor itemized, the photo record of the completed work, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We note the key code for future reference if you need additional copies.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. The technician removes all packaging and old hardware unless you request to keep it. We check in within 48 hours on new installations to confirm satisfaction.
