Locksmith
What we can sort out
Here is the full range of what we do for houses, businesses and vehicles across Brampton. Some jobs take one visit and a few tools; others are worth planning. Each page tells you which it is likely to be and how to prepare.
Lockout Services
Some callers apologise for phoning about a lockout.
Home Lockout ServiceAfter a week of humid weather the back door has swollen in its frame.
Business Lockout ServiceA cook stepped into the alley with the recycling and the rear door swung shut behind him.
Broken Key ExtractionThat key had been bending a little for years, and you kept straightening it.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThere is a hole where the cylinder used to be.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe old mortise lock on the front door of the house turns the key halfway and stops with a dull clunk.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyYour purse was taken from the back of a chair at a restaurant.
Change or Rekey Locks
Homeowners come to us with small questions that turn out to matter: why does the door rattle, why does the key stick, should the patio door have more than that little latch?
Lock RekeyingThe builder handed over your new home with a stack of identical keys, and you know the framing crew, the painters and the flooring installers all used a construction key during the build.
Deadbolt InstallationThe front door has a handsome lever and a keyed knob, and that is all.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe lever on the side door droops toward the floor and rattles in your hand.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceYou bought a house with its original hardware and a bag of loose keys.
Smart Lock InstallationHalf the evenings someone asks whether the back door got locked, and nobody is sure.
Gate & Building Entry LocksThe driveway gate drags a groove into the gravel every time it swings, and the latch stopped catching weeks ago.
Mailbox Lock ReplacementThe little brass key for your curbside mailbox was on the same ring as the one you lost at the gym last week.
High Security Locks
The services here cover upgraded cylinders that retrofit into existing locks, heavier deadbolts, reinforced strikes and door edges, and patented or restricted key systems for one door or a whole building.
Safe Opening & Combination ChangeA safe sat in a late parent's basement for years, its combination known to nobody left in the family, and everyone would like to know what is actually inside it.
Safe Installation & ServicingBehind the filing cabinets sits a heavy floor safe nobody ever bolted down, left exactly as the last owner set it.
High Security LocksYou run a home office with client files and equipment, and your insurer has asked what kind of lock is on the door.
Commercial Locks
Small businesses often run on one key that everyone has a copy of.
Commercial RekeyingTwo people left over the summer and the keys they handed back came up one short.
Master Key System DesignThe new wing was built with its own brand of cylinder, so the two-year-old keys from the original building do not open a single door in the addition.
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 new access-control reader at the staff entrance works fine going in, but nobody has sorted out the door's exit side, and right now a card reader and a pushbar exist as two separate ideas.
Commercial-Grade Lock ReplacementAt closing time the hookbolt on the storefront door catches the keeper only on the second or third try, and one employee has started giving the door a shoulder to force it home.
Car Keys
Motorcycles and scooters come with their own quirks: seat locks, steering locks, fuel cap locks and small transponder systems.
Car Lockout ServiceThe rental van came with one key.
Car Key ReplacementThe fob went through the washing machine in a jacket pocket.
Spare Car Key DuplicationThe paperwork for the used car changed hands last week, and the previous owner mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that a second key never turned up.
Key Fob ProgrammingA fob went missing weeks ago somewhere between a coat pocket and a parking lot, and a spare has covered the gap since.
Transponder Key ProgrammingIt is a cold morning and the fob has to be pressed twice, sometimes three times, before the doors respond, and one week later it stops answering entirely.
Ignition Lock RepairHalf the key is still in your hand.
Vehicle Lock RepairYou line the key up with the trunk lock, turn it, and feel nothing catch.
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysThe dash lights come on, the starter cranks, and the engine simply refuses to catch, though the same key has run this bike since it was new.
