Locked out
Safely, right now
- Stay somewhere warm and safe while you wait, such as a neighbour's or your car.
- Don't break a window or pry the door. It adds damage without getting you in sooner.
- Keep ID that shows your address handy if it is with you.
Key broke in the lock
Safely, right now
- Leave the lock alone: pushing the piece further in makes it harder to get out.
- Keep the piece you still have. It helps cut a new key.
Lock won't turn
Safely, right now
- Stop turning hard: a key that bends or snaps makes the job bigger.
- Don't spray oil or glue into it, and don't pour hot water on it in the cold.
Lost keys
Safely, right now
- Keys lost together with your address? Assume someone could use them.
- Don't leave a spare key anywhere outside while you wait, under the mat or elsewhere.
Customers in Mimico Beach notice a storefront door that slams, drags or needs a shoulder. We service the closers, pivots and locks that keep a commercial entrance quiet and secure, fit cylinders that resist tampering, and set the hardware so the door greets people properly and locks tight after close.

The fix, explained · Mimico Beach
What is the door doing?
EmergencyHome Lockout ServiceThe keypad on the smart lock blinks once and goes dark.
The fix
The visit follows a steady order. On the phone you describe the door, the lock and where the key went, which tells the locksmith what to bring.
EmergencyBusiness Lockout ServiceIt is ten to nine, three staff are on the sidewalk with their coffees, and the key that has opened the glass front door for six years will not turn.
The fix
On a commercial door the lock is rarely alone. A door contact feeds the alarm panel, a card reader drives an electric strike or a magnetic lock, and a monitoring company is watching for an opening outside business hours.
EmergencyBroken Key ExtractionThe padlock on the shed has been stiff all summer.
The fix
If a key has just snapped in your lock, the most helpful thing you can do is nothing further to the lock. Keep the half in your hand, note whether the door is locked, and resist the tweezers and the glue, both of which push the piece deeper and add material the locksmith must clear first.
EmergencyBreak-In Damage Lock RepairThey did not get in.
The fix
When a home is broken into, the locks are not the only thing that has changed hands. Keys hanging in the hall, a spare in a drawer, a garage remote on a visor or a house key on a stolen car's ring may all be gone.

EmergencySeized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe old mortise lock on the front door of the house turns the key halfway and stops with a dull clunk.
The fix
When the cylinder is the part that has seized, the work is about cleaning rather than force. Keyways collect dust, salt spray, metal filings and residue from sprays never meant for locks, and over time the pins stop lifting cleanly.

EmergencyLost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe lawyer's envelope held two keys for the new house.
The fix
How much a lost key matters depends on what was lost with it. A ring that dropped into a lake on a canoe trip tells nobody where it fits, so the rekey is a tidy precaution.

What the census means at the door
58%
Older homes. About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Where housing is mostly older, many entries still have only a knob lock and no deadbolt at all. Adding one is a straightforward job on a solid wood door, and it is the single upgrade that changes most for a house of this kind.
23%
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
In buildings, the suite door often has a closer and a heavy frame, and the deadbolt sits in a metal or metal-clad door. A locksmith fitting or rekeying one brings the tools and cylinders that suit that construction rather than a wooden house door.

Talk to us about your Mimico Beach entry doors
Every job in Mimico Beach starts with a proper look before anyone touches a tool. The locksmith checks the cylinder, the latch, the strike and the way the door sits in its frame, then tells you what he found and what he suggests. The price is given at the door once that look is done, so it reflects the actual hardware rather than a guess, and it is the same fee at any hour.

Locksmith FAQ
Will my insurer want to see the damage before it is repaired?
Insurers ask policyholders to document the loss, keep damaged property and hold on to receipts, and a securing visit is expected rather than discouraged, because an open door invites more loss. Photograph everything as found, keep the broken hardware in a bag, keep the invoice, and call your insurer as soon as the house is safe. The adjuster can see the old parts and the photos; the door itself need not stay open.
I rent. Can I have a deadbolt installed on my unit door?
You can, with a conversation first. Tenancy rules in this province expect a tenant to have the landlord's consent before changing locks and expect the landlord to hold a key, so ask in writing and share the plan. Many landlords welcome a proper bolt. The locksmith can key the new cylinder to the building's existing key where the keyway allows, and leave a note of the model and keys cut for the building manager.
Do I need to prove I own the house before you work on the lock?
Yes, and it is a normal part of any lock or key work. Photo identification together with something that ties you to the address is enough. If you rent, the locksmith will ask who should receive the keys, because landlords and tenants in this province are expected to agree on lock changes and share keys. This check takes a moment and it protects every household the locksmith is asked to work for.
What is the difference between a keypad lock, a Bluetooth lock and a Wi-Fi lock?
A keypad lock is operated at the door by code and needs no phone at all. A Bluetooth lock adds phone control when you are within a few metres, which covers most daily use and keeps the lock off the internet. A Wi-Fi lock, either built in or through a small bridge, lets you check and change the lock from anywhere and sends alerts, at the cost of more battery use and a dependence on the home network. Many models combine two of these.
