Assessing the gate and weather
Outdoor locks live a harder life. We check the gate alignment, the exposure to rain and freezing, and how it is used before recommending hardware.
Locksmithing without the drama.
Cobourg Lock & Key Co.
Before we open a door we ask to see that it is yours. Some customers are surprised by the question; most are relieved once they think it through. A locksmith who opens anything for anyone is a locksmith nobody should call. So we check a piece of identification, a lease, an ownership paper or a neighbour who can vouch, and we do it politely because being locked out is stressful enough. The same care runs through the rest of the visit. We explain each step, we leave the frame and finish as we found them, and we make sure the keys in your hand are the only ones that work.

Shop rules
Locksmithing without the drama.
- Identity checked, politely. For openings and key work we confirm you have the right to be there. We explain why we ask, and we ask everyone.
- Work you can watch. There is nothing hidden about what we do. Stand beside us, ask questions, and we will show you what the lock looks like inside.
- Clean hands, clean floor. We put down a mat where there is drilling, wipe the hardware down and leave the area as we found it, only with a working lock.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Call about rekeying your new home.

Fitting weather-ready hardware
We install hardware built for the outdoors, align it with the latch and treat the mechanism so it keeps turning through winter.

Explaining care through the seasons
You get a short rundown on lubricating and checking the lock as the seasons change, so it keeps working year after year.

How a visit goes
Commercial doors work harder than residential ones: hundreds of cycles a day, a closer slamming the latch, deliveries propping the back door open in the cold. We specify hardware for that duty, keep closers adjusted so the door actually latches behind people…
