Storefront glass doors, back doors that take deliveries, and an office suite with too many keys floating around all have simple fixes. We rekey, repair closers and pivots, install exit devices where a crowd must leave in one motion, and keep your key list manageable.

From the shop
We keep a proper stock on the van, and that shapes how a visit goes. Cylinders in the common finishes, strikes, pins, blanks for the keys most houses around here use, closer parts and padlocks all ride with us, so most repairs are done with what is already on the shelf rather than something ordered in.

Think of this page as a menu rather than a manual. You do not need to know the name of the part or the type of cylinder in your door. Pick the section that sounds closest, read what the visit looks like, and we will fill in the details together.
Lockouts
Getting in is only half of an emergency visit. Once the door is open we look at why it locked you out: a worn key, a failing cylinder, a latch that catches.
Change or rekey
Residential services are for the everyday building you live in, whether owned or rented. They range from cutting a spare and fixing a stiff cylinder to replacing every lock after a move, and we will always suggest the smaller job where it does what you need.
High security
In a home, high security hardware fits on the doors you lock every night. For businesses, it fits on the rooms that would hurt most to lose.
Commercial
The commercial pages cover the hardware and keying behind a working premises: business lockouts, rekeying after staff changes, master key design, heavy-duty replacement locks, panic and exit devices, access control with codes or cards, and safes for cash and records.

Business Lockout Service
A cook stepped into the alley with the recycling and the rear door swung shut behind him. The push bar works from inside, but the outside handle has a keyed cylinder and the key is hanging in the kitchen office. The front door is locked too.

WhyMaster key system design is the work of turning a property's separate locks into one coherent hierarchy: a change key for an individual door, a sub-master over a department or floor, and one top-level master reserved…
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
Together we list the doors, then decide who should open everything, who should open a floor and who should open one room. That structure becomes the keying chart.
2 of 3
Every cylinder is pinned so the right keys work and nothing else does. We check each combination against the chart as we go, not at the end.
3 of 3
You receive the keys labelled by level, the chart and a plain explanation of how to add a door or retire a key later without redoing the whole system.

2021 census · what it means at the door
24%Newer homes
About 24% of homes in Wasaga Beach were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Households in newer homes are often keen on keypads, fobs and phone-controlled locks. Standard doors make installation straightforward, and the locksmith spends more of the visit setting codes and pairing devices than on carpentry.
83%Mostly houses
Single-detached houses make up about 83% of homes in Wasaga Beach (2021 Census).
A detached house gives a locksmith room to work: full access to both sides of every door, hinges and frames included. Repairs and upgrades can be thorough, from the front deadbolt to the gate latch, with nothing off limits.
Between tenants is the ideal moment: the departing tenant has handed back their keys, the new one has not yet received any, and the unit is empty for the work. The incoming tenant then starts on keys nobody else has held, and the landlord's own master or emergency key is set up at the same time. Where a lease has ended in dispute, the locksmith asks to see the paperwork before changing locks on a unit that still holds a tenant's goods.
Not reliably. The stamp is a request, and any key on a standard blank can be copied by anyone with the blank and a machine. What does work is controlling the blank itself through a restricted keyway, or controlling access to the lock through interchangeable cores and a tight register. Stamping still has a place: a serial code on each key, instead of the business name, lets you track it without telling a finder where it fits.
Read the lease, because that is where the answer lives. Commercial tenancies are governed mostly by the lease itself, and many leases require the tenant to tell the landlord when locks change, to provide a key for emergencies, or to use the landlord's approved locksmith. Doors on the building's master system, such as corridor or service doors, are normally the landlord's to change. Bring the lease to the assessment and the locksmith will sort the doors accordingly.
The locksmith confirms that the person ordering the work is entitled to change the locks: the owner, a tenant with the landlord's agreement, or a property or facilities manager for a business. Photo identification and something linking you to the address usually settle it, and for a company a letter or a call to the named contact does the same. It protects you as much as anyone, since the same check stops someone else from changing your locks.
