How a visit goes
Rekeying is the quiet workhorse of what we do. It keeps the lock you already have and simply changes which key operates it, which makes it the sensible answer after a move, a lost set, a tenant change or a contractor who kept a copy.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 66 in 100 homes · older homes
- 65 in 100 homes · mostly houses
- About 66% of homes in Welland 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.
- Single-detached houses make up about 65% of homes in Welland (2021 Census).Garage entry doors on detached houses are often the household's real front door, used more than the formal entry. They deserve the same quality of lock, and keying them alike with the house means one key does the whole daily routine.
Good questions about locks
Can a modern cylinder be fitted to my old mortise lock?
Often, on cases that already take a threaded cylinder. Mortise cylinders are made in standard thread sizes and lengths with different cam shapes, and a new one is selected to match the case and the door thickness. That gives you keys cut on a machine and the option of keying the door alike with the rest of the house. A bit-key case has no cylinder to swap; its keys are made on the bench instead.
The house came with a smart lock. Can you make it mine?
Yes, and it is treated as a fresh installation rather than a hand-me-down. The lock is reset to factory settings using the maker's procedure, which wipes codes, schedules and paired phones, then enrolled to an account you create. Anything else that could open it, such as a hub or a voice assistant, gets its own check, because those permissions sit outside the lock. The override cylinder is rekeyed, batteries replaced and firmware updated. If the hardware is worn, replacing it is the cleaner choice.
What is a good option for a gate that delivery drivers or a maintenance crew need occasional access to?
A keypad or a lockbox with a rotating code works well there, since access can be shared without handing out a physical key that has to come back later. A weather-rated cylinder with a separate access key is another option if the property already runs on a keyed system. The locksmith can talk through how often the code should change and who on site should know it, so the gate stays convenient without staying open to everyone.
How many keys should we have cut?
Count the people who need each group, add one spare per group for the safe, and stop there. Extra keys cut 'just in case' are the ones that end up unaccounted for. Because the keys are cut to code from the pinning records, more can be produced later to the same standard, so there is no need to stockpile on the day. Restricted keys are ordered by the named signatories when needed.
