Help with locks and keys
Homes, businesses and vehicles each bring their own hardware and their own habits. We have grouped our services by where you are likely to need them, so you can find the one that matches your situation without wading through everything else.
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.
Home Lockout ServiceIt is minus fifteen, the wind is coming across the driveway, and the key will only go halfway into the deadbolt.
Business Lockout ServiceThe key went in stiffly, turned a quarter of the way, and came out in two pieces.
Broken Key ExtractionThe key went in like any other morning, you turned it, and something gave with a small metallic click.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThey did not get in.
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.
Change or rekey
Change or Rekey Locks
Not every home problem needs new locks. Often it needs a rekey, an adjusted strike plate, a fresh cylinder or a key that was cut properly.
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. You stand on the step every evening flipping through them in the dark, trying each one until…
Deadbolt InstallationYou moved in three weeks ago. The previous owner left a handful of keys, none labelled, and the bolt on the side door rattles in its housing.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe century home's original mortise lock takes a key the size of a spoon, sticks in humid weather and has worn its strike to a groove. You want a lock that works every day without giving up the old door.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceThe knob flops loose on its spindle and never springs back to level. When you turn it the latch pulls in, but you have to push the knob back yourself, and lately the latch has started staying inside the door instead of…
Smart Lock InstallationYour mother still lives on her own, and the personal support worker, the pharmacy delivery and two siblings all need to get in on different days. Cutting keys for everyone feels wrong; a code for each person, with a…
Gate & Building Entry LocksEvery time the courtyard gate closes, it slams hard enough to rattle the fence panels, and the deadlatch never quite drops into the keeper before the spring yanks it the rest of the way. One good gust of wind and it…
Mailbox Lock ReplacementSomeone tried to pry the little door on the mailbox open with a screwdriver, and though the mail sitting inside is untouched, the lock now sits crooked in its hole and the key barely catches when it is turned.

High Security Locks
A lock's rating comes down to how long it holds against a skilled attacker with tools. Doors are only as good as their frames.

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.
Car keys
Car Keys
Automotive locksmithing covers every make we can read, program and cut for, which is most of what is on the road. When a vehicle is outside what our equipment supports, we say so on the phone rather than at the curb.
Car Lockout ServiceYou pressed the fob at the office door and nothing happened.
Car Key ReplacementYou bought the car privately and it came with a single key on a shoelace.
Spare Car Key DuplicationA car sits at the cottage all season, and the only key to it lives on a ring three hours away in the city.
Key Fob ProgrammingThe remote clicks the way it always has, but the vehicle no longer locks, unlocks or answers with its usual chirp.
Transponder Key ProgrammingThe new key slides into the ignition and turns exactly the way the old one did, but the engine only cranks.
Ignition Lock RepairThe car arrived with one worn-looking key and a story about a lost spare.
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.
