Locksmith
Every kind of lock, one call
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
There is no good time to find the shop door forced or the house key gone.
Home Lockout ServiceAfter a week of humid weather the back door has swollen in its frame.
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 years will not turn.
Broken Key ExtractionThe apartment key snapped mid-turn, leaving the cylinder twisted halfway between locked and open.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThere is a hole where the cylinder used to be.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningYou are inside, the deadbolt is thrown, and the thumb-turn will not budge.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe lawyer's envelope held two keys for the new house.
Change or Rekey Locks
When you buy a house you inherit its keys, and there is no way to know how many were cut.
Lock RekeyingYour basement tenant has given notice, and a new one arrives on the first.
Deadbolt InstallationSomeone tried the door last winter.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe house is fifteen years old and every exterior door still wears the light hardware the builder fitted: a short bolt, a thin strike held by two small screws, and a knob lock that never suited a street entrance.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceThe key turns freely in the round cylinder on the door, all the way around and back, without the bolt shifting at all.
Smart Lock InstallationYour mother still lives on her own, and the personal support worker, the pharmacy delivery and two siblings all need to get in on different days.
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 ReplacementAfter a winter of road spray and salt, the little lock on the mailbox door has gone stiff, then gritty, then almost immovable.
High Security Locks
Most forced entries go through the strike and frame, not the cylinder, so this group treats the door as one assembly: hardened bolt, deep strike, three-inch screws, sound hinges, and a cylinder that defeats picks and drills on top of all that.
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 & ServicingThe keypad on the office safe blinks a low-battery warning every morning now, and whoever notices it first quietly hopes someone else deals with it before the batteries finally give out mid-week.
High Security LocksA colleague showed you a video of a lock being opened with a bump key in a few seconds.
Commercial Locks
A commercial door works harder than a house door.
Commercial RekeyingThe office has been reshuffled twice since the locks were last touched.
Master Key System DesignA new hire at the shop gets handed whatever spare key happens to be in the drawer, and it turns out to open the stockroom, the back office and the safe room all at once.
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 ReplacementThe kitchen delivery door gets shouldered open more than a hundred times a shift, and lately the latch slips past the strike plate instead of catching it on the first push.
Car Keys
Being locked out of a car is different from a house: the vehicle is often somewhere public and you may have places to be.
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 DuplicationTwo coworkers share one delivery van and one key between them, trading it at the start and end of every shift in a parking lot.
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 the buttons used to sit.
Transponder Key ProgrammingThe remote fob has gone silent, the doors won't unlock with a button press, and the little emergency blade tucked inside it has not been used since the day the car was bought.
Ignition Lock RepairThe new key from the hardware counter fits the door but stops halfway into the ignition slot, no matter how it is angled or how gently it is pushed.
Vehicle Lock RepairPressing the remote locks three doors with a solid clunk and leaves the rear passenger door untouched, every single time.
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysAfter a winter under a cover, the steering lock will not budge.
