This can be a great opportunity to upgrade security when a lock is too corrupt to fix or total (meaning the price to fix is higher than buying a new lock). You can invest in higher quality locks that not only provide greater safety, but also require less maintenance and are not as often damaged as cheaper locks. This is because the same sturdy metal and elaborate internal components give the lock a high level of safety while also making it more resistant to general wear.
Advantage
Pay only for materials
Have the opportunity to learn more about locks
Disadvantage
Need more lock understanding
Need more time
May further damage the lock
It takes longer to solve the problem
Anyway, you may end up calling a professional
