Running a shop or an office in Maple means trusting a few people with a few keys. We help you keep track of who opens what: rekeying when staff move on, master key systems that make sense, sturdy commercial hardware on the back door, and exit devices so everyone can leave without hunting for a key.
Locksmith services
Doors in Maple are opened, rekeyed, repaired, reinforced and replaced by the same small team, so you can pick one service today and add another later without explaining the house all over again. Start with the page that matches your door; the rest of the list will still be here.
Maple
Home Lockout ServiceIt is minus fifteen, the wind is coming across the driveway, and the key will only go halfway into the deadbolt.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe key slides all the way in, exactly as it has for years, and then refuses to turn in either direction.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe keys fell out of a gym bag somewhere between the arena and the parking lot.
Lock RekeyingOne key for the front door, another for the back, a third for the side door into the garage, and a fourth for the shed.
Deadbolt InstallationYou moved in three weeks ago.
Commercial-Grade Lock ReplacementThe key to the office entrance turns with almost no resistance now, and some mornings the deadbolt does not fully retract until…
Key Fob ProgrammingThe remote clicks the way it always has, but the vehicle no longer locks, unlocks or answers with its usual chirp.
Vehicle Lock RepairThe button on your key fob does nothing now: no beep, no flash of the lights, no click from the doors.
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysThe key turns half a rotation in the ignition, catches, then the blade lets go with a small snap.Commercial
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
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.
Maple
The company covers Maple around the clock, and the visit costs the same whenever it happens. The locksmith who arrives at midnight is the same one you would see at midday, with the same stocked van and the same habit of explaining first. A lockout is stressful enough without wondering whether the hour changed anything about the service.

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.
Where homes of different generations sit together, additions and renovations are common. A house may have an original front door and a much newer side entry, and bringing both onto the same key and the same standard is a regular job.
50%
Single-detached houses make up about 50% of homes in Burlington (2021 Census).
A mix of detached and attached housing means a mix of key habits: spare keys under pots at houses, fob-and-key combinations in buildings. A locksmith can improve both, with a proper key safe or keypad here and a tidy suite cylinder there.

Home Lockout Service
Someone pushed the privacy button on the bathroom door and pulled it shut behind them, leaving the room locked and empty. The little emergency slot on the outside is stripped, and the tiny release key that came with the handle disappeared years ago.
Home Lockout ServiceBy all means check the easy things: another door, a family member with a spare, a neighbour holding a key. Beyond that, it pays to wait. Credit cards bend latches, screwdrivers scar cylinders, and a forced window costs far more than a lockout visit and leaves the house less secure. A locksmith arrives with tools shaped for the exact hardware on your door, and an undisturbed lock is the easiest kind to open cleanly.
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.
Yes. Those cylinders let an owner change the key with a small learn tool, but only while a working key is in hand. Without one, a design such as Kwikset SmartKey is removed and placed in its own reset fixture, returning it to a blank state; other cylinder types are rekeyed by their own method instead. A new key is then set and the lock goes back on. It is a few extra minutes rather than a replacement.
Rekeying keeps your existing deadbolt or handle set and gives it a new key, commonly by changing the pins inside, though some cylinders reset a different way. Replacing removes the whole lock or cylinder and fits new hardware. Rekeying suits locks that are in good condition and simply need a fresh key. Replacement is the better call for hardware that is worn or damaged, built to a low grade, on a keyway the other doors cannot share, or due for a change of style or a keypad.
Very little is needed. Each spring and autumn, lock the door from inside and feel whether the bolt still goes home without the door being pulled; if it hesitates, the door has moved with the season and a small strike adjustment restores it. Whatever lubricant the lock's own maker specifies keeps it smooth, often a dry PTFE or graphite type in the keyway and along the bolt, though some cylinders are meant to be serviced with oil. In winter, wipe road salt off the outside trim to protect the finish.
