Westboro, ON's walkable mix of shops and residential streets means a lockout here often happens somewhere with a fair bit of foot traffic nearby — a moment that feels a little more public than it would on a quieter street. Whatever the setting, we come directly to your door.
What Usually Causes It
A door that locks automatically before keys are grabbed. Keys lost somewhere during errands near Richmond Road. An older key finally snapping off in a well-worn lock. A lock jamming despite the correct key. A door locked from the inside by a child or pet.
What to Do First
Check every other door and window. Avoid forcing the lock — this tends to cause more damage than the lockout itself.
What Helps Us Respond Well
Your specific location in Westboro, the nearest cross street if the address isn't obvious, and whether anyone inside needs the call treated urgently.
The Fix
A technician heads out equipped to attempt non-destructive entry first, which resolves the large majority of these calls without drilling anything.
Why Older Westboro Hardware Gets Careful Treatment
A lot of homes here predate the neighbourhood's more recent development, and the hardware sometimes predates modern security standards too. Forcing an older lock can cause damage that costs more to fix than the lockout itself.
After You're Back Inside
If a key went missing and hasn't turned up, rekeying is a smart step, since there's no way to know for certain where it ended up.
