Older homes, older locks

Many homes in Echo have been around for decades, and so have their locks. Worn cylinders, sticking deadbolts and keys that only work at a certain angle are signs a lock is close to failing, usually at the worst possible time.

Old locks can often be repaired or rekeyed. When they're past saving, they're replaced with modern deadbolts, which is also the moment to add a keypad or smart lock if you want one.

Ranches, gates and outbuildings

Outside town, properties around Echo depend on padlocks and hasps for gates, barns, shops and equipment storage. Lost keys and seized padlocks are common, especially after a hard winter. Padlocks can be cut or opened, replaced, and keyed alike so one key works across the property.

Winter lockouts in Echo

Cold mornings in the Umatilla River valley freeze vehicle door locks and padlocks. Don't force a frozen key, because a snapped key in the lock turns a small problem into a bigger one. If a key does break, the piece is extracted and a new key can be cut.
