A door that latches on the first push, a deadbolt that throws fully, a key that slides in without a wiggle: these are small things that add up to a home that feels secure. We fuss over them so you do not have to.

Home lockout service
Our work covers doors and the things that secure them: locks, keys, cylinders, safes, keypads and the electronic hardware that has quietly replaced keys in many buildings. The groups below help you find the right page, and the phone number helps when reading is not the mood.
You do not need to know the name of the lock to call us.
Kitchens get renovated, roofs get replaced, and the front door lock stays the same for thirty years.
The key you reach for. The door you come home to. Good locksmith work begins with understanding how you use them.

ServiceHigh Security Locks
The high security page is for homeowners who want to stop thinking about who has a key, and for businesses that need to know exactly. Both get the same honest walk-through of cylinders, strikes, key control and safes, and a recommendation sized to the door.
Layer 1The key
The pharmacy stockroom, the server closet or the cash office is protected by the same ordinary cylinder as the staff washroom. One lost key on a lanyard would open all of them.
Layer 2The cylinder
Someone tried the back door while you were away. The jamb is splintered around the strike, the bolt is bent, and the knob turns with a grinding feel.
Layer 3The bolt and strike
Someone tried the door last winter. The frame took it, but the strike plate is bent, one screw hole is stripped, and the bolt sits in the pocket at a slight angle.
Layer 4The door and frame
They did not get in. The attempt left a screwdriver gouge in the door edge, a strike plate bent outward and a deadbolt that now needs a shove to throw.

Request a visit
A business that has grown from one unit to three usually has three key rings and no plan. A master key system tidies that into a single hierarchy, and the pages here explain the design, the installation and how new doors are added later.
Commercial LocksWhen
Safes
A safe that arrives with no history at all, through an estate, an auction or a property changing hands, gets treated as an unknown until the locksmith reads it directly: the data plate, the lock type, the dial or keypad style, and any wear…
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If Someone forced the door and the frame is split.
Then Frame repair, a new strike and a fresh cylinder.
The wood is rebuilt before new hardware goes in, so the door locks tonight.
If They came in through a window, but your spare keys were on the hook.
Then Rekey every lock those keys operate.
Anything those keys open needs new pins: house, garage and shed, and a taken car key should be deprogrammed. Lock Rekeying
If There are fresh tool marks around the lock but nobody got in.
Then A security check of that door and the others.
We look at what held and suggest reinforcements that make a second attempt pointless.

Exit hardware is one place where we do not improvise. A push bar on a fire exit has to release with a single motion and no key, and a door on an escape route has to swing the right way.
Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
Has it been forced, does it drag, who has had keys? Those answers tell us whether the frame, the cylinder or the key list needs attention first.
Step 3 of 5
We talk about pins, cylinders and strikes only when it helps you understand. Otherwise it is 'this is why the door sticks and here is what fixes it'.
Step 4 of 5
We treat an old wooden door or a new steel one as yours, not as a project. Non-destructive methods come first, and we ask before drilling anything.
Step 5 of 5
Before we leave, you will know exactly what changed, how many keys exist and what to keep an eye on. Nothing is left as a mystery.
TorontoOntario
Every square is one home in a hundred.
The locksmith looks at the door, frame, glass and hinges, measures the bore and backset, and confirms the hardware and key plan with you. The door is bored or the old lock removed, the bolt is set to the backset, and the cylinder and thumb-turn are assembled. The strike position is marked from the bolt itself, the pocket bored, and a reinforced strike fastened into the framing. Everything is tested open and closed, keys are cut and tried, and the area is vacuumed.
It is a good moment for it. Nobody knows how many copies of a previous owner's key exist, so pinning the new bolt, and the rest of the exterior doors, to one fresh key retires all of them at once. Lock manufacturers list a move as one of the main reasons to rekey. You come away with a known number of keys, each tested in every door it is meant to open.
Yes, and the preparation is the same. Many electronic deadbolts use the standard 54 mm bore and the same edge bore, so a door cut for a mechanical bolt often accepts one, and a keyed bolt fitted today can usually be swapped for a keypad later, subject to that model's own bore, backset and thickness needs. The locksmith checks door thickness against the model, fits a reinforced strike as usual, sets up codes with you and shows where the backup cylinder or battery terminals are.
Three things working together. The cylinder has a second locking mechanism, usually a sidebar released by finger pins or rotating pins, plus hardened steel in the path of a drill, so picking, bumping and drilling take far longer than on an ordinary lock. The deadbolt and strike are heavier and fastened into the framing. And the key is cut on a patented or restricted blank that only an authorised person can have copied. Remove any one and the door is weaker than the label suggests.
