Fobs, keypads and card readers are only worthwhile when the doors, closers and wiring behind them are sound. We design small access systems for offices, clinics and multi-unit buildings, install them cleanly, and hand over a system your staff can actually manage.
From the shop
Exit hardware is one place where we do not improvise. A push bar on a fire exit has to release with a single motion and no key, and a door on an escape route has to swing the right way. We install and maintain this hardware properly, and we explain how it works to the person who locks up at night.

Locksmith services
We would rather you knew what a service involves before you book it. That is why every page below walks through the checks, the work and what you are left with afterwards, in plain language, with no assumption that you already know the names of the parts.
Lockouts
Emergency locksmithing is quiet work done in noisy moments. We are used to talking someone through the steps while they stand in the cold, and to leaving a door that closes, latches and locks the way it should.
Change or rekey
We fit locks to the household, not the other way round. A family with young children wants something a small hand can operate from inside.
High security
Not every door needs the same level. The front door may already be sound while the side entrance carries the builder's knob lock.
Commercial
Commercial doors carry more hardware than most people notice: cylinders, exit devices, closers, strikes, keypads. When one part fails the door stops behaving.

Lost Keys — Same-Visit Rekey
Your purse was taken from the back of a chair at a restaurant. The cards can be cancelled by phone tonight, but the house keys were in the side pocket beside a driver's licence that shows exactly where those keys fit.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyUsuallyRekey every exterior door to one new key.
WhyThe seller, their agent and any tradesperson who held a copy are now locked out, and you carry a single key.
UsuallyAsk the landlord to have the locks rekeyed.
WhyTenants generally need the owner's agreement, and most landlords are glad to do it when asked plainly.
UsuallyRekey before the next tenant arrives.
WhyIt keeps the same hardware and closes the gap before viewings start.
UsuallySeized & Jammed Lock Opening
WhyA jammed lock looks like one problem from outside and is usually one of three inside.
UsuallyLost Keys — Same-Visit Rekey
WhyRekeying and replacing a lock arrive at the same place by different roads.
UsuallyDeadbolt Installation
WhyMost of the value in a deadbolt is on the frame side, which is why a good installation spends as much time on the jamb as on the door.
Open 24/7
A business hands out keys as people join and rarely gets every one back as people leave. Rekeying resets that count.
1 of 3
We ask what the safe is for, how it is opened and what has changed: a lost combination, a dead keypad, a bolt that will not retract. Each points to a different approach.
2 of 3
Where a combination can be reset or a keypad replaced, we do that. Where the safe must be opened without its code, we use the method that leaves it usable afterwards.
3 of 3
Once it works we help you choose a new combination or code, show you how to change it later and suggest a sensible place to keep a record.

2021 census · what it means at the door
38%Homes of every age
About 38% of homes in Mississauga 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.
37%
Single-detached houses make up about 37% of homes in Mississauga (2021 Census).
Where housing is mostly apartments and condos, mailbox locks are a regular call. A worn or lost mailbox key is a small job that a locksmith handles alongside the suite door, and the new lock comes with fresh keys cut on the spot.
It depends on the count and the mix. A shop with a front door, a back door and a stockroom is a short visit; an office suite with a dozen lever sets, a master key plan and a mailbox takes a good part of a day. Interchangeable cores are the shortest of all, since they are swapped rather than repinned on site. The locksmith gives a time estimate at the assessment, once every cylinder has been counted.
Rekey when a key has not come back or when the departure was unfriendly; when a key is returned and the register confirms it, the cylinders it opened are as secure as before. Businesses that want a response to every departure without a visit each time fit interchangeable cores and swap them in-house. Whatever the trigger, dealing with only the cylinders that key opened keeps the response proportionate.
A keying chart is a plain list of every opening, the key group that operates it, the code stamped on those keys and the number issued. Months later it lets you answer exactly which doors a missing key opened, and it lets a locksmith add a new door to the system without changing anything else. Keep it with the key register, somewhere locked, with a copy off site.
Only light care. Use the dry lubricant the locksmith recommends once or twice a year, never oil, which gathers grit around the finger pins and sidebar. Keep the keyway free of debris and insert the key fully before turning. In winter, warm a resisting key in your hand or use a de-icer rather than forcing it. Check hinge and strike screws each season so the door stays aligned. Treated this way the cylinder lasts for decades.
