Change or rekey

Change or Rekey Locks

When a key is lost rather than stolen, the sensible response is usually a rekey rather than new hardware. When a lock is worn, it is the reverse.

  1. Two detached brass lock cylinders and four house keys on a wooden counter. — Lock Rekeying, Kitchener
    Lock RekeyingYour basement tenant has given notice, and a new one arrives on the first. The lock on the separate entrance works perfectly well.
  2. Person holding a silver-colored lock beside an open wooden door with exposed circular holes and a latch at its edge. — Deadbolt Installation, Kitchener
    Deadbolt InstallationThe door from the garage into the kitchen closes on a passage knob with no lock at all. Anyone who opens the garage is one turn of a handle from the house, and the insurance renewal form has a question about exactly…
  3. Detached satin-nickel lever hardware, tubular latch and strike plate on a wooden workbench. — Lock Replacement & Upgrade, Kitchener
    Lock Replacement & UpgradeSomeone tried the back door while you were away. The jamb is splintered around the strike, the bolt is bent, and the knob turns with a grinding feel.
  4. Person holding a long door handle and rectangular lock case beside an open wooden door with exposed hardware recesses. — Vintage Mortise Lock Service, Kitchener
    Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceAfter a wet summer the entry door sits lower in its frame. The lock works perfectly when the door is open, but with it shut you have to lift the handle and shoulder the door to get the deadbolt to throw.

  6. Pale blue garden gate with a black lever latch between light stone pillars. — Gate & Building Entry Locks, Kitchener
    Gate & Building Entry LocksA neighbour mentions, in passing, that the key from three tenants ago still lets him into the building's front door. Nobody changed it after he moved out, and now the property manager wants to know exactly how many keys…
  7. Detached threaded cam lock and mounting washer on a workbench in front of closed mail compartments. — Mailbox Lock Replacement, Kitchener
    Mailbox Lock ReplacementThe little brass key for your curbside mailbox was on the same ring as the one you lost at the gym last week. The lock itself is fine, but whoever finds that ring now has a way into your mail as well.

Commercial

Commercial Locks

We handle the commercial jobs that keep a premises running: getting staff in when the key is lost, changing the locks when someone leaves, setting up keys so managers reach every room, fitting exit hardware, adding keypads, and opening or installing safes.
