How we approach the work
Because a door should simply work.
From the shop
Churchville Lock & Key Specialists
We live where we work, which changes how we work. The person whose front door we rekey today might be behind us in the grocery line tomorrow. That keeps us honest in the small ways that matter: showing up when we said, explaining what a job involves and why, admitting when a lock is fine and just needs a drop of lubricant. It also means we know the housing around here, the older doors and the new builds, the strip-mall back entrances and the cars that fill the commuter lots. Local knowledge is not a slogan for us. It is simply the result of years spent opening, fixing and fitting the doors around us.

How a visit goes
If your door already has a knob or lever bore and nothing above it, adding a deadbolt is a boring job in the literal sense. A jig clamps to the door at the right height, usually 140 to 150 mm above the knob centre, and guides a hole saw through the face and a smaller bit through the edge.

Identifying the small lock
Mailbox, cabinet and desk locks are small but varied. We identify the type and whether a key can be made, a cylinder replaced or the whole unit swapped.

Replacing or rekeying it
Most small locks are replaced rather than repaired because new parts are simpler than rebuilding tiny mechanisms. We fit the new cylinder and check the cam lines up with the catch.

A tested key and a spare
You get a tested key plus a spare, and a tip about where to keep it, because a mailbox key is the one people lose most.

2021 census · what it means at the door
23%Newer homes
About 23% of homes in Brampton were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Where housing is new, garage entries, side doors and the front door were usually fitted at the same time but not always to the same key. Keying them alike is a small job that makes the household's ring simpler from the start.
53%
Single-detached houses make up about 53% of homes in Brampton (2021 Census).
Where houses and attached homes share an area, lockouts are as varied as the doors. A porch, a hallway or a shared vestibule each calls for a slightly different approach, and a locksmith used to all three arrives ready for whichever it is.
