Doors, keys and the people behind them
Honest advice about your locks.
From the shop
Delrex Locksmith Co.
Much of our work is in older houses, where the doors have settled, the frames are not quite square and the hardware has been changed three or four times over the decades. We like these jobs. They ask for judgement rather than a catalogue number: how to fit a modern deadbolt to a door that was never drilled for one, how to keep a period handle while making the lock behind it dependable. Our technicians carry the shims, fillers and odd-sized parts these houses need, and they take the time to get the alignment right. The result is a door that closes with one hand and locks without a shove, which is what an old house deserves.

- A look before a verdictWe inspect the door, frame and lock before suggesting anything. Diagnosing from the driveway is how people end up with parts they did not need.
- Two or three real choicesWhere there are sensible alternatives we explain them side by side, including the option of doing less than you expected.
- The job finished properlyTested, aligned, cleaned up and demonstrated. We do not consider a lock done until you have turned the key yourself.

How a visit goes

Fitting it to the door
We check the door alignment before mounting anything, because a smart lock needs a door that closes freely. Then we install, wire or pair it and set the first codes with you.

2021 census · what it means at the door
46%Homes of every age
About 46% of homes in Halton Hills were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In neighbourhoods with a mix of older and newer homes, the finishes on the doors vary widely: aged brass, satin nickel, matte black. A locksmith serving such an area keeps a range of finishes so replacement hardware suits each house.
73%Mostly houses
Single-detached houses make up about 73% of homes in Halton Hills (2021 Census).
Where most homes are detached houses, each one has several exterior doors: front, side, back, garage entry, sometimes a walkout. Getting them all onto one key is the most requested job, and it usually takes a single visit.
