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.
- 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.
- Skip the oil, the glue and the hot water. They make it worse.
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.
Moving into a home in Beeton means somebody else's keys are still out there: a former owner, a tenant, a painter, a cousin who once watered the plants. Rekeying every exterior lock to one fresh key settles the question in a single visit, and the same job suits a rental turning over or a shop changing hands.

The fix, explained · Beeton
What is the door doing?
EmergencyHome Lockout ServiceSomeone pushed the privacy button on the bathroom door and pulled it shut behind them, leaving the room locked and empty.
The fix
Being locked out is uncomfortable, but it is also the moment most households finally sort out their keys. Once the door is open, the same visit can rekey the locks so a lost key stops mattering, cut properly coded spares to replace worn copies, key the front and back doors alike so one key runs the house, or set up a small…
EmergencyBusiness Lockout ServiceMinus eighteen with a wind, and the exterior cylinder on the shop door has frozen solid overnight after yesterday's slush.
The fix
Heavy commercial doors move, and a good share of business lockouts are really door problems. A glass storefront door hangs on pivots or a continuous hinge that wear with thousands of openings a week, and once the door drops a few millimetres the hookbolt or latch binds against its strike.
EmergencyBroken Key ExtractionA roommate tried to help with tweezers, then by gluing the other half to it.
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
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 OpeningThe lock works, but only if you lean on the door with your hip while turning the key.
The fix
The visit runs in a set order. On the phone you describe what the key does: refuses to turn, spins freely, or works only when the door is pushed.

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
32%
Newer homes. About 32% of homes in New Tecumseth were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Households in newer homes are often keen on keypads, fobs and phone-controlled locks. Standard doors make installation straightforward, and the locksmith spends more of the visit setting codes and pairing devices than on carpentry.
71%
Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 71% of homes in New Tecumseth (2021 Census).
Families in houses hand keys to children, cleaners, dog walkers and neighbours. A locksmith can set up a keypad on the side door for the household and keep the front door on a conventional key, so access matches how the family actually comes and goes.

When you call from Beeton, a locksmith answers, not a dispatcher reading a script. He asks what the door is doing, tells you what the visit will likely involve, and arranges a time. The assessment and the price happen at the door, once he has seen the hardware. The same person who took the call is the one who does the work.
Straight talk about your options. We describe what each choice does and what it asks of you in effort, disruption and future flexibility, so the decision is yours.
Work explained as it happens. If you want to watch, we tell you what each step is for. If you would rather make a coffee, we give you the summary at the end.
Tidiness as standard. A lock change should not leave a mess. We bring what we need to keep the door area clean and we leave it that way.

Which fix fits?
IfYour smart lock stopped responding and the app shows nothing.
ThenCheck power and pairing before replacing anything.
Dead batteries and dropped connections are the usual culprits; the mechanical key still gets you in meanwhile.
IfThe sliding patio door has only the little flip latch.
ThenAdd a keyed patio bolt or a foot lock.
A secondary bolt pins the door to the frame so it cannot be lifted or forced.
IfYou want a lock on the home office door for privacy.
ThenA keyed or privacy-grade interior lockset.
Interior doors take lighter hardware; we match the rest of the house and the existing bore.
IfYou reached the front step with the groceries, patted every pocket twice, and the house key is simply not there.
Being locked out is uncomfortable, but it is also the moment most households finally sort out their keys.
You asked, we answered
My key is a restricted or high-security type. Can it still be extracted and replaced?
Extraction is the same careful process; the keyway is usually narrower and the cuts more complex, so it takes longer. The replacement key is different: restricted blanks are cut only from the system's records, so have the authorization card that was supplied with the system to hand, or the locksmith who installed it is contacted. Until then the spare, if you have one, keeps the door working.
I am a landlord. Should I rekey between tenants?
Many landlords do, and it removes the question of whether every copy came back. The locksmith rekeys the unit's cylinders so the incoming tenant holds the only working keys, cuts the copies you want, and notes the count for your move-in record. Because provincial tenancy rules expect the tenant to be handed replacement keys whenever a landlord changes a lock, the visit ends with keys for both of you and a clear list of which doors were done.
Will a new lock fit the holes already in my door?
Usually, yes. Most residential doors are prepared to standard sizes, a 54 millimetre cross bore and a backset of 60 or 70 millimetres, and most modern hardware adjusts between those backsets. The locksmith measures before choosing, so the new lock is matched to the door rather than the other way around. Where an older mortise lock or an unusual bore is found, filler plates, extension kits or a carefully jigged new bore bring the door to standard.
What is the difference between a gate lock and a regular door lock?
A gate lock is built to work outdoors, so it usually pairs a latch or bolt with a closer that swings the gate shut on its own using its own spring, rather than relying on a person to push it home. The cylinder tends to be weather-rated, and the whole assembly fits a gate frame or post rather than a conventional door jamb. A building entry door, by contrast, often combines this outdoor hardware with an interior-style latch or an electric strike.
