There could be hundreds of reasons why a door lock needs to be fixed. Sometimes, they are jammed because of the lack of lubricants or internal mechanism failure. I have faced these issues several times and have picked up a few simple methods that can fix these issues. One of those is to simply give it a jiggle as this can loosen the stuck area. I have added a few more processes on how to fix a bedroom door lock below.

While doing the above mentioned method, be careful not to use too much force. Doing this repeatedly or vigorously can break the lock. This is a quick fix method and it might not solve the whole issue. Here are a few other methods.

Using a Lubricant

Procure a door knob lubricant and spray it on top of the mechanism of the lock. Now, turn the handle or the knob on each side to make it work. If you spot rust, use a wire brush to clean the area and then spray the lubricant again and try working it. 

Dissemble the Doorknob

  • Remove the screws of the doorknob

  • Slowly pull the spindle to remove the doorknob

  • Use a needle-nose pliers to take out any obstructions.

  • Check if the springs are working or not.

  • Put it all back together and check if it works or not.

If this does not work, then I would suggest you to hire a carpenter to help you with bedroom door lock repair. Whenever I need a carpenter; I hire one through
