From lockouts to master keys
We split our work into emergency, residential, automotive and commercial, but plenty of jobs sit between them. A landlord's rekey is residential work done with commercial thinking. A car key made in a driveway is automotive work with a home visit. Ask, and we will place it.
Lockouts
Lockout Services
Some callers apologise for phoning about a lockout. There is no need.
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 ServiceIt is ten to nine, three staff are on the sidewalk with their coffees, and the key that has opened the glass front door for six…
Broken Key ExtractionYou were locking up on the way out when the key broke in the lock.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThey did not get in.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe lock works, but only if you lean on the door with your hip while turning the key.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyYou were shovelling the driveway after dark and the ring must have slid out of your coat pocket somewhere under a metre of snow.

Change or Rekey Locks
Who has a key to your house right now? If you have to think, a rekey is worth considering.
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 InstallationSomeone 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.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeEvery morning the front door key needs the same little dance: push in, lift, wiggle, turn. It has been getting worse for a year, and this week it took three tries in the cold before the deadbolt finally gave.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceSomeone painted the door years ago without removing the hardware. The faceplate, the strike and the little thumb-turn are all under several coats, the deadbolt scrapes when it moves, and the knob is stiff enough to…
Smart Lock InstallationThe rental turns over every few months and each time you drive across town to swap keys, then wonder whether copies were made. A lock with codes you can set and erase from your phone would end that cycle.
Gate & Building Entry LocksA visitor buzzes from the panel downstairs, someone presses the button by the door, and nothing happens. The electric strike on the lobby door used to click open on cue; now it stays silent, and residents are propping…
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.

Commercial
Commercial Locks
Commercial locksmithing is as much about planning as it is about hardware. Who needs to get where, what happens when a key goes missing, how the building is locked at night.
Car keys
Car Keys
Automotive work is not only for cars that will not open. A worn ignition, a fob with a cracked case, a spare that turns but sets the alarm off: these are jobs that fit a planned visit, and getting them done early avoids a roadside one.
Car Lockout ServiceYour toddler is buckled in the back seat, the doors locked when you shut yours, and your keys are on the front seat beside your…
Car Key ReplacementThe key snapped at the head while you were turning it in a stiff, frosty door lock.
Spare Car Key DuplicationA teenager just passed a driving test and reasonably wants a key of their own rather than negotiating over the family's single…
Key Fob ProgrammingA cracked case or a spin through the wash left the fob unresponsive, and opening it up reveals a slightly corroded board where…
Transponder Key ProgrammingThe blade snapped off flush with the door lock last winter, and the shop that cut a replacement only matched the metal shape.
Ignition Lock RepairThe key slides in fine and turns without any resistance at all, and the dash lights flicker, but nothing catches.
Vehicle Lock RepairSince the last heavy rain, the front passenger door has needed two or three tries before the key catches, and moisture seems to…
