Our services at a glance
Security should feel like a settled question, not a nagging one. These services exist to get you there: doors that lock without a wrestle, keys that only the right people hold, and hardware chosen for how you actually use the building rather than a catalogue picture.
Lockouts
Lockout Services
A door that refuses to open is one problem; a door that refuses to close is another, and often the more pressing one. The emergency pages cover both, including temporary bracing and board-up when the frame or glass needs a proper repair later.
Home Lockout ServiceIt is minus fifteen, the wind is coming across the driveway, and the key will only go halfway into the deadbolt.
Business Lockout ServiceMinus eighteen with a wind, and the exterior cylinder on the shop door has frozen solid overnight after yesterday's slush.
Broken Key ExtractionThe padlock on the shed has been stiff all summer.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThe shop's aluminum door has a bent meeting stile and the hookbolt is jammed half out.
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 RekeyThe renovation wrapped up in the spring.
Change or rekey
Change or Rekey Locks
Rekeying, deadbolt installation, lock replacement, smart locks, mailbox locks, mortise lock servicing and gate hardware each have a residential page here. Every one is written for the person who lives behind the door, not for another locksmith.
Lock RekeyingYour basement tenant has given notice, and a new one arrives on the first. The lock on the separate entrance works perfectly well.
Deadbolt InstallationYou bought a keypad deadbolt online and pulled the old one off, only to find the hole in the door is a different size and the bolt latch sits at a backset the new kit does not list. The door is now open and the box is…
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe century home's original mortise lock takes a key the size of a spoon, sticks in humid weather and has worn its strike to a groove. You want a lock that works every day without giving up the old door.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceThe interior bedroom doors on the second floor have the original mortise latches, and none of them close any more. The doors drift open, the small brass turn buttons do nothing, and the keyholes have been empty for as…
Smart Lock InstallationHalf the evenings someone asks whether the back door got locked, and nobody is sure. A lock that relocks on its own, shows its state in an app and reports when it was last opened would settle the question.
Gate & Building Entry LocksA visitor buzzes from the panel downstairs, someone presses the button by the door, and nothing happens. The electric strike on the lobby door used to click open on cue; now it stays silent, and residents are propping…
Mailbox Lock ReplacementThe property manager mentioned that half the compartments in the lobby's mailbox panel are original to the building and are starting to fail one by one, key by key, as tenants turn over year after year.

High Security Locks
Ordinary locks keep out the curious. High security locks keep out someone who has decided to get in and has tools.

Commercial
Commercial Locks
Business owners usually want two things from us: to know exactly who can open which door, and to stop worrying about it. The services here, from rekeying to full access control, are different ways of getting to that point.
Car keys
Car Keys
A car that will not unlock, a key that turns but does not start, a fob that only works pressed against the door. These are the automotive calls we take, and most end with you driving away on a key that works properly.
Car Lockout ServiceYou reached the parking lot after a long hike and the pocket that held your car key is empty.
Car Key ReplacementThe key snapped at the head while you were turning it in a stiff, frosty door lock.
Spare Car Key DuplicationA car sits at the cottage all season, and the only key to it lives on a ring three hours away in the city.
Key Fob ProgrammingA replacement fob just arrived in its box, shiny and untouched.
Transponder Key ProgrammingThe car came with a single key when the sale went through, and that key is the only thing standing between the household and…
Ignition Lock RepairAfter a slushy week the key barely reaches accessory before it stalls, gritty and reluctant, where it used to move cleanly…
Vehicle Lock RepairPressing the remote locks three doors with a solid clunk and leaves the rear passenger door untouched, every single time.
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysA copy cut at a hardware kiosk turns the ignition on some mornings and skips it on others, occasionally sticking halfway and…
