Ask about rekeying your Pleasant View Survey business
A lockout in Pleasant View Survey is handled without drama. The locksmith confirms you belong there, then uses the least destructive method the lock allows, so the door and cylinder are usually intact when you walk through. Only when a lock has genuinely failed does he move to drilling, and then he replaces the cylinder and hands you fresh keys before leaving.

Shop rules
Getting you back inside, gently.
- Questions welcomed. Ask about the lock, the method, the parts or the reasoning. A good explanation is part of the service, not a favour.
- Nothing forced that could be finessed. We reach for picks and shims before drills, and we tell you if the lock has left us no gentle option.
- Swept, wiped and working. Metal filings, drywall dust and old screws all leave with us. The lock is tested from both sides and the key handed over.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Let's fix that lock.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 61 in 100 homes · older homes
- 56 in 100 homes · mixed housing
- About 61% of homes in Hamilton were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.In neighbourhoods of established homes, keys have often been copied many times over many owners. Rekeying every exterior door to one fresh key is the common first job, and it works on old cylinders just as well as on new ones.
- Single-detached houses make up about 56% of homes in Hamilton (2021 Census).Neighbourhoods of houses beside townhouses and low-rise buildings have a range of door constructions: solid wood, steel, fibreglass and metal-clad. A locksmith who works in such an area is used to fitting hardware to all of them without new holes.

What to expect, answered
I rent. Who arranges the repair, and can I change the lock myself?
Tell your landlord or property manager as soon as the police have been called; provincial tenancy law makes the landlord responsible for repairs to the unit, and most will arrange the locksmith. A tenant may not change locks without the landlord's agreement, and a landlord who changes them must give the tenant keys, so the visit is coordinated between you. If you arrange securing yourself in an emergency, keep the receipt and the record of what was done for both sides.
Does road salt affect door locks?
Yes, especially on side doors near a treated driveway or walkway. Salt spray dries into a crust inside the keyway and around the plug, and each thaw dissolves and re-deposits it deeper. Over a few winters it pits brass and makes the pins drag. The remedy is a flush with contact cleaner, a thorough drying, and a dry lubricant that sheds moisture, followed by rinsing the hardware when the weather allows.
What do backset and bore mean, and why does the locksmith ask?
Two measurements decide whether a deadbolt fits your door. Bore is the diameter of the big hole through the face, 54 mm on most current hardware. Backset is how far the centre of that hole sits from the door's edge, 60 mm or 70 mm on nearly all residential doors. A replacement must match both to use the existing holes, and a fresh installation is cut to match the knob below, so knowing them ahead puts the right hardware on the van.
What information should I have ready when I call?
The door's material and rough thickness, what lock is on it now and whether it is a separate deadbolt above a knob or lever, and whether there is a storm door. Say what you want the lock to do: codes only, phone control, alerts, auto-lock. Mention how the Wi-Fi is at the front door if you know, whether you rent or own, and how many people need their own way in. A photo of the inside and outside of the existing lock is a real help.
