Markham, ON brings together some genuinely old, settled neighbourhoods with streets that are still being built out, and a lockout can happen on either. What actually matters is getting a technician to your door with the right tools for whatever hardware is actually installed.
Why This Keeps Happening
- A door that locks itself before keys are in hand
- Keys genuinely lost during a busy day
- An older key snapping off in hardware that's overdue for attention
- A lock jamming despite the correct key
- A door locked from the inside by accident
Try These First
Every other entry point — side door, garage, basement walkout. If none of them are open, leave the stuck lock alone.
What Helps Us Respond Well
Your location, whether the home is established or newer, and whether anyone inside needs urgent attention.
The Method We Use
A technician arrives ready to attempt non-destructive entry first, working the lock open rather than forcing it. This resolves the vast majority of these calls without drilling.
Established Homes Get a Careful Hand
A lot of Markham's older neighbourhoods still have original hardware, and we take the time to work with it properly rather than assuming it can handle the same treatment as a builder-grade lock from last year.
Why We Don't Force It
Prying a door or drilling a lock is quicker and usually costs more afterward — a damaged frame, hardware needing replacement. We prioritize speed without making that trade.
Afterward, Something Worth Doing
If the key is genuinely lost, rekeying is a sensible step, particularly for a resale home where there's no way to know how many keys previous owners had cut.
