What's happening right now?

Locked out

Safely, right now

  1. Wait somewhere safe and warm: a neighbour's, your car, a coffee shop.
  2. Don't break a window or pry the door. It adds damage without getting you in sooner.
  3. Keep ID that shows your address handy if it is with you.

Key broke in the lock

Safely, right now

  1. Leave the lock alone: pushing the piece further in makes it harder to get out.
  2. Hold on to the half you have; it helps with a new key.

Lock won't turn

Safely, right now

  1. Stop turning hard: a key that bends or snaps makes the job bigger.
  2. Don't spray oil or glue into it, and don't pour hot water on it in the cold.

  1. Keys lost together with your address? Assume someone could use them.
  2. Don't leave a spare key anywhere outside while you wait, under the mat or elsewhere.

The fix, explained · Lockwood Park

What is the door doing?

EmergencyHome Lockout ServiceThe moving truck has left, half the boxes are inside, and the single key the previous owner handed over turns the knob but not the deadbolt.

The fix

Where your key is decides most of what happens after the door opens. If it is sitting on the counter inside, the job is simply to open the door and hand the house back to you with the lock untouched.

EmergencyBusiness Lockout ServiceYou signed the lease on the unit last week and the landlord handed over possession, but the previous tenant's locks are still on both doors and no…

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 apartment key snapped mid-turn, leaving the cylinder twisted halfway between locked and open.

The fix

Keys break for a reason, and finding that reason is half the visit. A brass key wears thinnest at its deepest cut, and after years of turning it fatigues there until a cold morning or a stiff bolt finishes it.

EmergencyBreak-In Damage Lock RepairThe shop's aluminum door has a bent meeting stile and the hookbolt is jammed half out.

The fix

A failed break-in is still a repair. When a lock holds against a pry bar or a kick, the force goes somewhere: a strike plate bends, screws loosen, the door edge takes a gouge, the deadbolt binds where the bolt met the strike under load.

EmergencySeized & Jammed Lock OpeningIt is the coldest morning of the winter and the key goes halfway into the side door and stops.

The fix

A jammed lock looks like one problem from outside and is usually one of three inside. The cylinder itself may have seized, packed with grit, corrosion or old grease.

EmergencyLost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe renovation wrapped up in the spring.

The fix

When a key disappears, cutting yourself another copy solves the wrong half of the problem. You can get in again, but so can whoever finds the original.

What the census means at the door

42%

Homes of every age. About 42% of homes in Middlesex Centre were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.

Where housing ages are mixed, some homes have never had a deadbolt and others have two. The visit starts with a look at what is already there, and the recommendation might be adding a lock on one house and simply tuning it on the next.

91%

Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 91% of homes in Middlesex Centre (2021 Census).

Where most homes are detached houses, each one has several exterior doors: front, side, back, garage entry, sometimes a walkout. Getting them all onto one key is the most requested job, and it usually takes a single visit.

Hardware for Lockwood Park homes is chosen for the door, not the catalogue. We look at the thickness, the bore, the backset, the swing and the finish already on the house, then bring options that fit without new holes or mismatched brass. The result looks as though it was always there, and it locks the way the door deserves.

London and Lambeth

  • Told what to expect. Before starting we say how long the work usually takes, what noise or mess is involved and what the door will be like afterwards.

  • Room to decline. If a suggestion does not suit you, decline it. We will do what you asked for, do it well and leave the rest as advice.

  • A tidy handover. Keys counted into your hand, the area cleaned, the old parts dealt with and a plain summary of the work. Then we are gone.

Advice · (226) 785-2980

This is the third time this door has locked someone out. Is something wrong with the hardware?

It can be. A cylinder that is worn, a strike plate that has shifted, or a latch that no longer seats squarely will all produce repeat lockouts even though the key looks fine. The locksmith checks the alignment of the door and frame, tests how smoothly the latch throws, and looks at wear inside the cylinder before simply letting you back in. If the hardware is the cause, fixing that during the same visit is usually quicker than calling again next month.

How high above the knob does the deadbolt go?

The usual position is 140 to 150 mm above the centre of the knob, which lines the two locks up and keeps both within one reach. Manufacturers' templates assume that spacing, which helps a later keypad or handleset line up, though many handlesets still need their own lower hole drilled to that model's template. The height is nudged if it would land on glass, a decorative panel or a hollow spot inside an insulated door, and to make sure the frame behind it is solid.

Is it safe to keep a deadbolt that is keyed on both sides of the entry door?

It is better not to. A bolt that needs a key from inside can trap the household when a key is not to hand, and a door people leave the home through works better opening without keys or special knowledge. During service the locksmith fits a thumb-turn to the bolt tail or otherwise makes the inside release without a key, keeping the vintage lock and the clear way out.

How do I know what brand or type of lock is on my mailbox?

You generally do not need to; identifying the hardware is part of the visit. The locksmith reads the maker's mark on the lock face, measures the cylinder and cam, and checks the hole pattern in the compartment door, which together point to a matching replacement even when the original brand is no longer sold.
