What we do
Emergency lockouts
House, condo, car, office, mailbox or storage unit. Opened without damage in the large majority of cases — drilling is a last resort, not a shortcut.
Car keys & key fobs
Transponder keys, remote-head keys, laser-cut keys and push-to-start fobs cut and programmed at your vehicle. All-keys-lost included — no tow to the dealership.
Lock rekey
New house, new tenant, or a key you can’t account for. Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and retires every old key in about ten minutes per cylinder.
Lock repair & replacement
Seized winter cylinders, spinning handles, deadbolts that won’t throw. Schlage, Kwikset, Weiser, Yale, Medeco and smart locks on the van.
Commercial & master key
Panic bars and exit devices, commercial door closers, storefront cylinders, master key systems, restricted keyways and access control.
Garage doors
Broken torsion springs, snapped cables, doors off track, dead openers and remotes. A snapped spring is a same-day emergency — and a dangerous DIY.
Locked out at 3 in the morning?
That is when most of our calls come in. We answer overnight, on weekends and on holidays — and we tell you the price and a realistic ETA before we dispatch.
Where we work
Three regional numbers, one company. Pick the closest area and call it directly — the phone rings to a technician, not a national dispatch line.

Lost your only car key?
Any make, model or year. We cut and program transponder keys, remote-head keys, laser-cut keys and push-to-start fobs at your vehicle — usually 30–60% cheaper than the dealership, and no tow.

Why people call us back
A real company, with a real address
457 Albert St #6, Waterloo — you can walk in. Many “local” locksmiths in Ontario are call centres that sell your call to whoever bids for it, and the $19 phone quote turns into a $300 invoice at the door.
We quote on the phone and hold the number on arrival. Our technicians carry ID, arrive in a marked vehicle and hand you an itemized invoice.
Locks, doors and garage doors under one roof
Most locksmiths don’t touch doors. Most door companies don’t touch locks. After a break-in that difference is one visit instead of three contractors and three invoices.
We repair the cylinder, the frame, the strike plate and the door itself — and if the garage door is the problem, that is the same van.
Some of the work we do
Common questions
How fast can you get to me?
Inside Kitchener-Waterloo, usually 20–40 minutes. Toronto and the GTA, 30–60 depending on the neighbourhood and traffic. Burlington and Hamilton, 30–50. We give you an honest ETA on the phone rather than one designed to win the call.
Are you really open at 3am?
Yes — 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included. After-hours calls carry a higher service call fee, and we say so before we dispatch.
Will you damage my door?
In most residential lockouts we open the lock without damage using picking or bypass tools. Drilling is only used when the cylinder is high-security, seized or already damaged — and we tell you before we do it.
Can you make a car key if I lost every copy?
Yes. All-keys-lost is one of our most common jobs. We originate and program a new key at your vehicle. Bring proof of ownership and photo ID.
How do I know you’re legitimate?
Our technicians carry ID, arrive in a marked vehicle and give you an itemized invoice with the company name on it. We’ll confirm our Waterloo address and licence before we dispatch. Any locksmith who won’t do that shouldn’t be opening your door.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes — tenant-turnover rekeys, master key systems, commercial hardware and scheduled maintenance. Ask about per-cylinder pricing for multi-unit buildings.
