Households in Bradburn Subdivision often collect locks from different decades that all take different keys. We rekey them to a single key where the hardware allows, replace the one or two that cannot be matched, and set up a spare that lives somewhere sensible.

Shop rules
Hardware chosen for winter, fitted with care.
- Plain words. We talk about pins, cylinders and strikes only when it helps you understand. Otherwise it is 'this is why the door sticks and here is what fixes it'.
- Respect for your door. We treat an old wooden door or a new steel one as yours, not as a project. Non-destructive methods come first, and we ask before drilling anything.
- Knowing what you are left with. Before we leave, you will know exactly what changed, how many keys exist and what to keep an eye on. Nothing is left as a mystery.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Ask us what the visit involves.

How a visit goes
The right answer for a shop with six staff is different from the right answer for a family of four, and we try not to carry one into the other. Homes generally want fewer keys and simpler routines; businesses want control and a record.
Step 1 of 5
Call and describe the door
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
On our way
The priority is a door that closes and locks tonight. We assess the frame, the strike and the lock, and secure whatever was forced so you can stop worrying about the opening.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 49 in 100 homes · mixed ages
- 68 in 100 homes · mostly houses
- About 49% of homes in Tillsonburg were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Mixed housing ages mean the advice changes door by door. An older solid-wood entry may want a strike reinforced; a newer steel door may want its short strike screws swapped. The locksmith looks at the door in front of him rather than assuming.
- Single-detached houses make up about 68% of homes in Tillsonburg (2021 Census).In areas of single houses, the door nobody watches is the side or back entry. It often has the weakest lock on the property. Fitting a proper deadbolt and a reinforced strike there is a modest job that closes the obvious gap.
You asked, we answered
How many keys should a business have, and who should hold them?
Fewer than most businesses think, and every one of them named. Two people who can open, one of whom can be reached on a day off, cover the door. Cleaners and contractors get a key only if they need one and hand it back when the arrangement ends. Write down who has what, collect keys when people leave, and rekey when one does not come back. Interior keys for the cash office or stockroom follow the same rule on a shorter list.
The key broke while the door was locked. Can you still get me in?
Yes. The fragment comes out first, because nothing else can happen while it blocks the keyway. With the cylinder clear and the plug at rest, the door is opened by the same non-destructive methods used for any lockout, then a working key is cut and tested. If the door is a rental, the visit is noted for the building manager on request.
Can a rekey be done in winter, and will the locks freeze afterwards?
Winter is a normal time for this work. Cylinders come off the door and are pinned in the van, out of the wind, and go back on with a dry graphite or PTFE lubricant that sheds moisture rather than holding it the way oil does. A cleaned, dry-lubricated cylinder is less likely to freeze than the gritty one it replaced. Keeping a storm door closed over the main lock helps through freeze-thaw weeks.
Will I need to prove I own or rent the home?
Yes, and it is a welcome part of the job. Rekeying decides who can enter, so the locksmith confirms the person asking has the standing to make that decision. For an owner that means photo identification alongside a document that links them to the property, for instance a property tax notice or the closing statement. A manager brings the owner's written authorization. A tenant mentions that the landlord has agreed and will be given a key, since tenancy rules here expect both to hold one.
