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.
- Have a photo ID with your address ready if you can.
Key broke in the lock
Safely, right now
- Don't push the broken piece back in or try the lock again.
- Hold on to the half you have; it helps with 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 hide a spare key anywhere outside in the meantime, not even under the mat.
Houses in Eagle Place collect locks over the years: a front door from one decade, a side entry from another, a garage door that takes its own key. We rekey them all to a single key so the ring in your pocket finally gets lighter, and set up a spare that lives somewhere sensible.

The fix, explained · Eagle Place
What is the door doing?
EmergencyHome Lockout ServiceThe key slides in and turns all the way round, but the bolt stays put.
The fix
Most lockouts end with the original lock still on the door and still working. That is the point of professional entry: picks, tension tools, decoders and latch tools are designed to operate the mechanism the way a key would, without cutting or prying anything.
EmergencyBusiness Lockout ServiceThe manager who holds the only set of office keys is on a plane.
The fix
A business lockout service reopens commercial premises when the door is locked and nobody on site can open it. The locksmith begins by confirming that the person asking for entry has authority to act for the business, through identification and a document or a phone call that ties them to the premises.
EmergencyBroken Key ExtractionOvernight the deadbolt froze, and this morning the key would only turn partway.
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 RepairThere is a hole where the cylinder used to be.
The fix
Break-in damage lock repair is the visit that turns a forced door back into a locked one. The locksmith first confirms you own, rent or manage the property, then looks at everything the attack touched: the lock, the bolt, the strike plate and wood behind it, the door edge, the hinges and any glass beside the door.

EmergencySeized & Jammed Lock OpeningYou are inside, the deadbolt is thrown, and the thumb-turn will not budge.
The fix
Many jammed locks are not lock problems at all. Wood doors swell in humid weather and shrink in dry winter air, hinges loosen and let the door drop, and a strike plate that was fine in spring is a few millimetres out by autumn.

EmergencyLost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyA roommate moved out on bad terms and says the key was left on the counter.
The fix
The first useful move after losing a key is to think about where it worked rather than where it went. A house key commonly opens more than the front door: the back door, a side entrance, the door from the garage into the house, a shed, a gate padlock, sometimes a storage room or a mailbox.

What the census means at the door
63%
Older homes. About 63% of homes in Brantford were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Old brass keys wear thin, and a key that has bent for years finally lets go in a cold cylinder. In older housing stock this is a regular call, so the locksmith is ready to extract the piece, check the cylinder and cut a new key from the code.
61%
Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 61% of homes in Brantford (2021 Census).
Homeowners in houses often want a spare key that lives outside safely. A locksmith can fit a proper key safe or set up a keypad so a hidden key under a pot is no longer part of the plan.

In Eagle Place we think about how a door is actually used before choosing hardware. A back door staff prop open needs a different answer than a front door a family uses twice a day. A side entry for a teenager who forgets keys may want a keypad. We ask those questions first, then match the lock to the habit.
Brantford, Fairview, Holmedale, Terrace Hill, Tranquility, West Brant and Wyndham Hills
A look before a verdict. We inspect the door, frame and lock before suggesting anything. Diagnosing from the driveway is how people end up with parts they did not need.
Two or three real choices. Where there are sensible alternatives we explain them side by side, including the option of doing less than you expected.
The job finished properly. Tested, aligned, cleaned up and demonstrated. We do not consider a lock done until you have turned the key yourself.

Which fix fits?
IfYour condo suite lock is builder's grade and feels flimsy.
ThenUpgrade the deadbolt within the building's rules.
Most buildings allow a better lock in the same finish; we check with management first.
IfYou lost the key to your mailbox in the lobby bank.
ThenHave the mailbox lock replaced through management.
Lobby mail units belong to the building, so we arrange it with the property manager.
IfSomeone in the building has a key to your unit.
The cylinder is re-pinned so only your new keys work; any building access key is preserved.
IfOvernight the deadbolt froze, and this morning the key would only turn partway.
Keys break for a reason, and finding that reason is half the visit.
Things people wonder about
Can you open a door that has a push bar on the inside?
Yes. From outside, an exit device is operated through its trim, which may be a keyed lever, a pull with a cylinder or a bare rim cylinder. Depending on the trim fitted, picking or decoding that cylinder either retracts the latch directly or unlocks a lever, knob or thumbpiece that then has to be turned to let the latch go. The bar, rods and dogging feature stay as installed for the emergency way out, and the bar is pressed afterward to confirm it releases the latch with one push.
Why does the deadbolt scrape or need a shove to throw?
Two causes cover most cases. Either paint has built up on the faceplate, the bolt or the strike so the bolt drags across it, or the door has dropped so the bolt is entering the strike pocket at an angle and rubbing its edge. Occasionally a bent deadbolt lever inside the case adds friction. Cleaning the paint back, adjusting the strike and checking the lever all happen as part of the service.
Do I need a hub or a bridge?
Only if the model you choose uses one to reach the internet. Some locks have Wi-Fi built into the interior unit and connect straight to your router. Others save battery by using Bluetooth at the door and a small plug-in bridge nearby to relay to the network. Locks designed for a home hub join whatever hub you already run. The locksmith checks signal strength at the door itself and recommends the arrangement that keeps the lock reliably connected.
The combination works but the handle won't turn. Is that still a safe opening job?
Yes, though the cause is different. A stuck handle usually points to a jammed bolt, corroded linkage, or a tripped relocker rather than a lock failure, and the locksmith traces the mechanism from the handle back to find where it is caught. The combination lock itself is tested separately once the bolt work moves freely again, to confirm it was never actually at fault.
