The door swings shut, and there's a half-second of realization before you fully register what just happened. It's a small, ordinary kind of frustrating, and it happens to careful people in Richmond Hill, ON just as often as anywhere else. We come to fix it, quickly and without unnecessary damage.
The Short List of Why This Happens
| Cause | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Self-locking door, keys inside | Very common |
| Genuinely lost key | Common |
| Old key snaps in worn hardware | Occasional |
| Lock jams despite correct key | Occasional |
| Door locked from inside by accident | Occasional |
Before You Call Anyone
Check every other door. If nothing's open, leave the stuck one alone — forcing it tends to make things worse.
What We Need From You
Your location, roughly how old the hardware is, and whether anyone inside needs the call treated urgently.
The Actual Fix
A technician arrives ready to attempt non-destructive entry first, which resolves the large majority of these calls without drilling anything.
Why We Don't Rush the Wrong Way
A pried door or drilled lock is faster and usually costs more afterward — a damaged frame, a lock that needs replacing. We move quickly, but never that way.
Once You're Back Inside
If the key that caused this is genuinely lost, rekeying is worth arranging. There's no reliable way to know where it ended up.
