If The padlock on the back gate has rusted shut.
Then Replace it with a weather-rated padlock.
A shrouded shackle and a drainage-friendly body cope with rain and salt far better than an indoor lock left outside.

We treat the whole door in Alnwick/Haldimand, not just the cylinder. Hinges that have sagged, a strike plate held by short screws, a frame that has moved with the seasons: these decide whether a lock holds, and they are checked on every visit. Sometimes the right advice is a longer screw and a shim rather than a new lock, and we say so.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 48 in 100 homes · mixed ages
- 96 in 100 homes · mostly houses
- About 48% of homes in Alnwick/Haldimand were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Where housing is mixed, doors that have been replaced sit beside doors that never were. A new door in an old frame, or an old door in a repaired frame, needs its strike and hinges checked together so the whole assembly works as one.
- Single-detached houses make up about 96% of homes in Alnwick/Haldimand (2021 Census).Homeowners in houses often want a spare key that lives outside safely. A locksmith can fit a proper key safe or set up a keypad so a hidden key under a pot is no longer part of the plan.
Short answers to common questions
I am a landlord. Can you open a unit my tenant is living in?
A locksmith will want to understand the situation first, because a tenant's right to their home is protected and a lockout of a tenant is something only a sheriff enforcing a Landlord and Tenant Board order may carry out. Legitimate reasons do come up: a tenant has asked you to let them in, a vacated unit needs securing, or an emergency requires access. Bring ownership records and be ready to explain the circumstances, and the locksmith will help you handle it properly.
The key snapped off inside the lock. What happens now?
The broken blade is removed with extractors that grip it and draw it out toward the face, then the cylinder is opened normally. Keys rarely break in a healthy lock, so the cylinder is cleaned, the cam behind it checked for stiffness, and a dry lubricant applied. A new key is cut from the code or from the two pieces rather than from a worn spare, since a tired copy is usually what broke.
How long does a deadbolt installation take?
A replacement into existing holes is generally the shorter visit, and boring a fresh door with a new strike takes longer, roughly an hour or two per door including the frame work and testing. Steel doors, keying alike, frame repairs after a forced entry and fitting a jamb reinforcer each add time. The locksmith can give a realistic estimate once the door and frame have been looked at.
Can several compartments in the same panel be done in one visit?
Yes, this is common when a property manager notices several compartments failing around the same time. Each one is still confirmed against the resident or unit it belongs to, and the work moves compartment by compartment. Unless a resident asks otherwise, each lock is keyed separately from the others, and the visit closes with a simple list of which compartment received which lock and keys.
