Locksmith
Services we offer
Choosing a service is easier when you know what each one actually changes. Rekeying changes the key, replacement changes the hardware, repair keeps what you have working, and installation adds something new. The sections below sort our work along those lines.
Lockout Services
You do not need to know the name of the lock to call us.
Home Lockout ServiceThe keypad on the smart lock blinks once and goes dark.
Business Lockout ServiceA cook stepped into the alley with the recycling and the rear door swung shut behind him.
Broken Key ExtractionOvernight the deadbolt froze, and this morning the key would only turn partway.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThey did not get in.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningYou are inside, the deadbolt is thrown, and the thumb-turn will not budge.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyYour purse was taken from the back of a chair at a restaurant.
Change or Rekey Locks
Front doors, back doors, patio sliders, garages, mailboxes and the bedroom door with the lock that never worked.
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 bought a keypad deadbolt online and pulled the old one off, only to find the hole in the door is a different size and the bolt latch sits at a backset the new kit does not list.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe brass handleset has gone blotchy and green where the winter salt reaches it, and the coating on the deadbolt is lifting in flakes.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceThe brass knob on the front door of your century home turns, but nothing happens on the other side.
Smart Lock InstallationThere are four copies of the front-door key floating around: one with the cleaner, one with a neighbour, one on a hook at your parents' place, and one you honestly cannot account for.
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.
Mailbox Lock ReplacementThe mail slot on the shop's exterior wall has a small compartment lock that a former employee still has a key to, months after they left.
High Security Locks
Most people think of the lock.
Safe Opening & Combination ChangeThe new manager took over the shop last month and only now needs the back-office safe open, but the combination the previous owner was supposed to leave in writing never turned up anywhere in the handover file.
Safe Installation & ServicingThe till drawer has been holding two days of cash because the new shop never got a proper safe, and a locked drawer under the counter is the only thing standing between that cash and anyone who works late.
High Security LocksYou have lost count of how many people have had a key to your house over the years: cleaners, a contractor, a former partner, the previous owner's family.
Commercial Locks
Panic hardware, door closers and exit devices are the parts of a commercial door that nobody notices until they fail.
Commercial RekeyingThe manager's key ring went missing somewhere between the bank and the car, and the master on it opened every door in the building.
Master Key System DesignOn the warehouse floor, a shift supervisor's key opens the loading dock, the tool crib and the manager's office, though only the dock is really part of the job.
Access Control InstallationYou just leased the empty unit next door and want the new tenant to open their own suite without a key to yours, to the loading dock, or to the electrical room down the hall.
Panic & Exit HardwareThe daycare wants the yard gate and the classroom door alarmed so a staff member hears the moment it opens, without turning either into something a child could be shut behind.
Commercial-Grade Lock ReplacementOvernight someone forced the back door, and the cylinder face is scarred, the metal around the strike has pulled loose from the frame, and the latch no longer sits flush.
Car Keys
From a fob that needs a fresh battery and a re-pair to a full set of keys made for a vehicle that has none, the automotive pages describe the range.
Car Lockout ServiceThe rental van came with one key.
Car Key ReplacementMinus twenty outside, the fob button does nothing, and the door keyhole has a crust of road salt over it because you have not used a metal key in that car since the day you bought it.
Spare Car Key DuplicationThe blade on the everyday key has gone shiny and thin along one edge, and lately it needs a wiggle before the ignition catches.
Key Fob ProgrammingButtons on the fob still light up and the remote still clicks, but the vehicle refuses to start even with the fob sitting in the cupholder.
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 key slides in fine and turns without any resistance at all, and the dash lights flicker, but nothing catches.
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 still opens the seat and unlocks the fork, but at the ignition it needs a slow half-turn and a small lift before the switch engages, a habit that has crept in over years of daily starts.
