Every lockout call gets the same question first: can you show us this is your place or your vehicle? A licence with the address, a lease, a registration document or a neighbour who can vouch for you all work.

2021 census · what it means at the door
58%Older homes
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Decades of seasons move a frame, and an older house often has a front door that locks easily in summer and fights in winter. Setting the strike with the seasons in mind, and choosing a lubricant that stays fluid in the cold, keeps it working year round.
23%
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (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.

Frequently asked questions
What do lock grades mean when I am picking a deadbolt?
Residential deadbolts are graded under an industry standard in three categories, security, durability and finish, with letter grades from C through A, so a lock marked with three A grades has met the highest level in each. Heavier commercial-pattern bolts are graded 1, 2 or 3, with 1 the highest. The grades let you match hardware to a busy family door or an exposed side entrance without relying on the weight of the box.
Does road salt or winter weather affect these small locks?
It does. Outdoor cam locks sit exposed to spray, salt, and repeated freezing all winter, which corrodes the small internal parts faster than indoor hardware and can leave a keyway gritty or a cylinder stiff well before it actually fails. Whatever lubricant that cylinder's own maker specifies, used once or twice a year, helps a replacement lock last through more winters.
Can you open a safe used to store firearms?
Yes, the opening itself proceeds the same way as for any other safe. Afterward, for a business, it is worth confirming the storage arrangement still meets the applicable federal requirements for secure firearms storage, since those cover the container, the surrounding room and who has access, separately from whatever caused the lock to need attention.
How long does an installation usually take?
A single standalone door is usually finished within a day, including testing and training. A building with several networked openings, cabling to run and a controller to program takes longer, and is often planned across more than one visit so cabling, hardware, and software configuration each get proper attention rather than being rushed through in one pass.
Can I still lock the door from outside?
Yes. The releasing device only governs the inside of the door; the outside gets its own trim, a pull, a lever with a cylinder, or a keyed cylinder alone, chosen for how that door is entered. Locking or unlocking that outside trim has no effect on the inside crossbar, which always releases the latch under a push, so entry security and exit function are handled as two separate questions.
