Commercial
Commercial Locks
Retail hardware takes abuse: doors propped open, slammed shut, hit with carts. Commercial-grade locks, reinforced strikes and robust closers are built for that, and replacing a builder-grade lock with one that fits the traffic is a common first job for a new shop.

Lockouts
Lockout Services
Doors that have been kicked, pried or drilled rarely lock cleanly afterwards. The repair pages explain how we straighten or replace the strike, rebuild the frame edge, swap the damaged cylinder and, when the door itself is beyond saving, secure the opening until a replacement arrives.

2021 census · what it means at the door
47%Homes of every age
About 47% of homes in Burlington were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In an area where homes span several eras, one street may have original mortise locks and the next builder-grade cylinders. A locksmith working here carries parts for both, so whichever door he meets, the job finishes in one visit.
50%
Single-detached houses make up about 50% of homes in Burlington (2021 Census).
Where houses and attached homes share an area, lockouts are as varied as the doors. A porch, a hallway or a shared vestibule each calls for a slightly different approach, and a locksmith used to all three arrives ready for whichever it is.

Locksmith FAQ
How long does the extraction usually take?
It depends on how the piece is sitting. A protruding fragment in a plug at rest can be out in moments. A deep piece behind lifted pins takes patient work with hooks and spirals. A glued or corroded fragment may mean removing the cylinder and freeing it from behind. Cutting and testing the new key, and any door adjustment, add their own time. The locksmith gives a sense of it after the first look.
Why did the frame break instead of the lock?
Because that is where the weak point was. A standard strike plate is held by two short screws in a soft wood jamb, and the deadbolt only reaches into a shallow pocket behind it. A kick delivers the full weight of a body to those screws, and the wood around them splits along the grain. The bolt itself is rarely the failure. That is why the repair concentrates on the strike side: a boxed strike, a full-depth pocket and long screws into the stud.
My key turns all the way round but the bolt stays put. What has broken?
The key and cylinder are doing their job; the bar behind the cylinder that drives the bolt, called the tailpiece or cam, has broken, slipped or twisted out of engagement. It is a small part. The locksmith retracts the bolt through the mechanism or removes the cylinder to reach it, then fits a tailpiece of the right length and profile. Your cylinder and keys are unchanged afterwards.
Can I stop people copying my house key?
A restricted keyway helps with that. The key blanks are controlled by the manufacturer and its authorised locksmiths, so a copy generally requires the card, record or authorisation the program uses, cutting down on copies made at an ordinary kiosk. It suits homes where keys are lent to cleaners, contractors or tenants. The cylinders are fitted in the normal way, and you keep the key card safe because it is what future copies depend on.
Can the back door and garage door be put on the same system?
Yes, in one of two ways. Each door can get its own smart lock, all managed from the same app and account, with the same codes working at every door. Or, where the cylinders share a compatible keyway, the other doors can stay mechanical and be rekeyed so a single key operates them and the smart lock's override cylinder alike. Many households do the front door first and add the others later; the account and the codes carry across.
