Most locks in Flemingdon Park do not need replacing. They need new pins, a clean cylinder, or a strike moved a few millimetres so the bolt stops fighting the frame. We start with the least invasive fix, say plainly what we see, and only move up the list when the hardware has truly reached the end of its life.

Getting past an ordinary lock is a skill many people have. Getting past a high security lock is loud, slow and uncertain, which is exactly the point. The services here make your door the one an intruder decides is not worth it.
Layer 1The key
You run a home office with client files and equipment, and your insurer has asked what kind of lock is on the door. The honest answer is the builder's knob lock and a light deadbolt from when the house was new.
Layer 2The cylinder
The keys the seller handed over came in a sandwich bag: six unlabelled copies for two locks of different makes from different decades. You have no idea how many more copies exist or who is holding them.
Layer 3The bolt and strike
You moved in three weeks ago. The previous owner left a handful of keys, none labelled, and the bolt on the side door rattles in its housing.
Layer 4The door and frame
There is a hole where the cylinder used to be. Somebody twisted it out of the deadbolt with a wrench, and now the empty bore looks straight through to the kitchen, with the bolt still stuck in the frame.
High Security Locks. You run a home office with client files and equipment, and your insurer has asked what kind of lock is on the door.
Request a visitFewer than most businesses think, and every one of them named. Two people who can open, one of whom can be reached on a day off, cover the door. Cleaners and contractors get a key only if they need one and hand it back when the arrangement ends. Write down who has what, collect keys when people leave, and rekey when one does not come back. Interior keys for the cash office or stockroom follow the same rule on a shorter list.
A large one. Factory strike and hinge screws are usually short enough to grip only the jamb, a piece of trim about an inch thick. Three-inch screws pass through the jamb and the gap behind it into the stud, so a blow has to move the wall rather than the trim. Lock manufacturers supply reinforcement plates with three-inch screws for exactly this reason, and note that a door beside a sidelight needs a different arrangement because glass sits where the stud would be.
The key and cylinder are doing their job; the bar behind the cylinder that drives the bolt, called the tailpiece or cam, has broken, slipped or twisted out of engagement. It is a small part. The locksmith retracts the bolt through the mechanism or removes the cylinder to reach it, then fits a tailpiece of the right length and profile. Your cylinder and keys are unchanged afterwards.
Yes, provided the cylinders share a compatible keyway, which the locksmith checks when choosing hardware. New cylinders are pinned on site to a single new key and any existing locks worth keeping are repinned to match. Front, back, side and garage doors commonly end up on one key, and a shed or gate padlock can join them. You then decide how many copies exist and who holds each.
