Lock Rekeying
The whole key ring went missing somewhere between the grocery store and the bus. You got back in with the spare, but a set of keys is out there, and you would sleep better knowing they open nothing.

High security
High Security Locks
Controlling the keys is the part of high security that costs nothing to understand and everything to ignore. If anyone can copy your key at a kiosk, a strong cylinder is one photocopy from useless.
Commercial
Commercial Locks
Every commercial door should do three things: open for the right people, stay shut for everyone else, and let people out in a hurry without a key. The services in this group serve those three, and we will say which door falls short on which one.

2021 census · what it means at the door
53%Older homes
About 53% of homes in Scugog were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Where most homes were built decades ago, doors often still carry their original mortise locks and brass knobs. That hardware can usually be cleaned, re-sprung and kept in service, with a modern deadbolt added above it for strength without losing the look.
89%Mostly houses
Single-detached houses make up about 89% of homes in Scugog (2021 Census).
Where homes are mostly detached, patio and sliding doors deserve attention alongside the hinged ones. Auxiliary locks, pin locks and better latches for sliders are routine additions that a locksmith brings on the same visit as the front door work.

Your questions, our answers
One of my locks is stiff and worn. Can it still be rekeyed?
Often the stiffness is grit, old oil and tired springs rather than real wear, and those are handled while the cylinder is on the bench: the plug is cleaned, new springs go in with the new pins, and a dry lubricant finishes it. If the plug has worn oval or the housing is damaged, the locksmith shows you and suggests a replacement cylinder pinned to the same key, rather than fresh pins in a lock that will keep dragging.
What happens during the visit, step by step?
The locksmith looks at the door, frame, glass and hinges, measures the bore and backset, and confirms the hardware and key plan with you. The door is bored or the old lock removed, the bolt is set to the backset, and the cylinder and thumb-turn are assembled. The strike position is marked from the bolt itself, the pocket bored, and a reinforced strike fastened into the framing. Everything is tested open and closed, keys are cut and tried, and the area is vacuumed.
I just moved in and have no key at all. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is a common reason for this visit. Ownership or a lease showing the address, plus photo identification, is generally enough to confirm the compartment is yours to change. The old lock is opened without a key using the same techniques used elsewhere, then swapped for a new one, so whoever held the previous key no longer has any use for it.
Can a safe be installed above the ground floor?
Often, yes, though the floor construction and the safe's weight both need a look first. A lighter document safe rarely raises a concern on an upper level, while a large, heavily built unit may need the floor's load capacity checked before it goes up, particularly in an older building. The route to get it there, including stairs, elevators, and doorway widths, gets measured at the same time.
When does a door actually need this hardware rather than a regular lock?
It comes down to occupancy and occupant load rather than preference. Rooms used for assembly, such as banquet halls, places of worship or gyms, and doors serving a stairway in a busier building, are where this hardware becomes the standard choice instead of a keyed lock on the exit side. A fire inspector or building official is the practical way to confirm whether a specific room has crossed that line.
