A deadbolt is only as strong as the hole it was bored into and the plate it throws into. In Steeles Corners we install new deadbolts on doors that have never had one, replace worn units on doors that have, and set the strike so the bolt slides home without lifting or leaning on the door.

Safes are high security for the things inside a room rather than the room itself. We install, bolt down, open and reset them for homes and businesses, and advise on where a safe helps and where a better door helps more.
Layer 1The key
After the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws. Nobody got in, but you have looked at that door differently every evening since.
Layer 2The cylinder
The brass handleset has gone blotchy and green where the winter salt reaches it, and the coating on the deadbolt is lifting in flakes. It still locks, but it looks tired beside the fresh paint on the door.
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
You came home to find the front door standing open. The deadbolt is still thrown, but the strike plate is dangling from one screw and a fist-sized piece of the jamb is lying on the hall floor.
High Security Locks. After the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws.
Request a visitThe bolt should extend at least 25 mm into the frame, which is the standard throw for a dwelling's entrance doors and the length most residential deadbolts provide. Part of the bolt stays inside the door for support while the rest sits in the pocket. A hardened steel insert that spins under a saw blade is a common feature worth having on doors that face a street or laneway.
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.
Yes. A safe with no known history is treated as an unknown from the start: the locksmith identifies the make, model and lock type directly from the hardware and works through the same manipulation, decoding or reset options used on any other safe. Proof of the purchase or transfer establishes your authority to have it opened, and the process afterward does not depend on any prior record existing.
Yes, servicing does not depend on who did the original installation. The locksmith opens the bolt-work, tests the lock through a full cycle, checks the anchoring underneath, and replaces batteries in an electronic lock as needed, regardless of the brand or who fitted it originally. Not knowing the history of the unit just means a slightly more thorough first look before any work begins.
