Why Lombard Homeowners Choose Strongbox Lock & Safe Co. of Illinois
We’ve been the locksmith Lombard homeowners call back because we do what we say we’ll do. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry company ID - they show it at the door without being asked. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. No bait, no switch, no “service fee” that triples once the toolbox opens.
Over 42 years in this trade, we’ve learned that Lombard’s long-term residents - the ones who bought their split-level on South Ahrens or their ranch on Westmore-Meyers Road in the 1980s and never left - don’t want the cheapest fix. They want it fixed right, fixed once, and never worried about again. That’s why we back every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no argument to have.
We know the difference between a mortise lockset in a pre-war home near Lilacia Park and a standard bored lock in a 1960s ranch off North Main Street. That local familiarity means we stock the right parts and don’t waste your time with a second trip.

Why Lombard’s Climate & Housing Affect Locksmith Work
Lombard sits far enough from Chicago’s urban heat island that it feels the full force of DuPage County’s freeze-thaw cycles. The wood door frames common in the village’s postwar housing stock - those ranches and split-levels built from the late 1940s through the early 1970s - swell, warp, and shift through repeated temperature swings. By November, we’re fielding predictable calls from homeowners on South Ahrens and Westmore-Meyers Road: the deadbolt that worked fine in October now won’t throw, or the key turns but the bolt doesn’t reach the strike plate.
This pattern is far more pronounced in Lombard than in newer-built DuPage suburbs like Lisle or Westmont, where tighter construction and composite door frames resist the movement. We’ve also found that many of these mid-century homes still carry their original single-cylinder deadbolts and hollow-core exterior doors - hardware that was modest even when new and falls well below current security standards. When we rekey or replace locks in these homes, we often recommend upgrading to a solid-core door and a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt, because a quality lock in a warped, hollow door still leaves you vulnerable.
Around the older blocks near downtown and Lilacia Park, the situation differs. Enough pre-WWII homes survive there with original mortise locksets still in daily use that we routinely stock antique mortise components - a bench skill largely unnecessary in the surrounding towns. If you live in one of these homes, you already know that not every locksmith carries the parts or knows the spacing. We do.

Lombard’s freeze-thaw cycles, unbuffered by Chicago’s urban heat island, cause wood door frames in the village’s mid-century homes to swell and shift seasonally. This pulls deadbolt throws out of alignment with their strike plates, especially in 1950s-1970s ranches and split-levels with original frames. We can realign your strike plate, adjust your bolt, and recommend hardware that tolerates the movement better. Call (844) 321-2640 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes. The pre-WWII homes near Lilacia Park and the historic downtown corridor often still use original mortise locksets, and we stock the specialized components most locksmiths don’t carry. If your mortise lock is sticking, loose, or missing parts, we can repair or replace it with period-appropriate hardware. Call (844) 321-2640 to discuss your specific lock.
Rekeying is almost always cheaper - typically $25-$45 per cylinder versus $150-$450 for full replacement.
