Let us look at your locks in Coverdale
Businesses in Coverdale get exit hardware that lets everyone leave without hunting for a key, while the door stays locked from the outside. We fit and adjust push bars, panic bars and deadlatches, set the closers so the door shuts on its own, and check that the whole exit path works in one motion from inside.

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…

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 52 in 100 homes · older homes
- 58 in 100 homes · mixed housing
- About 52% of homes in Cobourg were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Where housing is mostly older, many entries still have only a knob lock and no deadbolt at all. Adding one is a straightforward job on a solid wood door, and it is the single upgrade that changes most for a house of this kind.
- Single-detached houses make up about 58% of homes in Cobourg (2021 Census).In areas of mixed housing, landlords may own a house here and a few units there. A locksmith can put all of it under one master system so the owner carries one key while each tenant's key opens only their own door.

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.
What should I have ready when I call about a break-in?
Whether the police have been called and any occurrence number; whether everyone is safe and the property is empty of intruders; which opening was forced and whether it closes at all; whether the damage is to the lock, the frame, the door or the glass; whether keys, remotes or codes were taken; whether you own, rent or manage the property; and whether there is glass beside the door. Photos on your phone help the locksmith bring the right hardware.
I live in a condominium. Which locks are mine to rekey?
Your suite door is generally the one you can act on, and it may sit on a building master system, so the locksmith plans the rekey so the master still operates while the old change key stops working. Lobby doors, the parking gate, amenity rooms and the mailroom belong to the corporation; report a lost fob or key for those to the property manager, who deactivates or reissues it. The locksmith can help sort which is which.
