Service, locks and booking questions

How soon can a locksmith arrive?

Immediate service with a 15–30 minute arrival range across Toronto and the GTA. Call with the exact address so the dispatcher can confirm the current arrival time; traffic and weather can affect the trip.

What does the $29 service call cover?

The $29 service call covers the visit. Labour and any replacement hardware are separate and are explained before work starts. Describe the lock or door problem when you call so we can identify what needs checking.

Will you drill my lock?

Picking or bypass is considered first when the lock and the situation allow it. A damaged or high-security cylinder may require a different method. The technician explains the approach and any replacement hardware before proceeding.

How long has the business operated?

247locksmithintrust is Ontario-licensed since 2013. We provide locksmith service across Toronto and the GTA, with warranty on labour and parts.

Can I request service without calling?

Yes. Use Request a Service with your full name, email, phone number and service type. The message field can include your address, lock brand and what happened. Call for immediate assistance.

How can I pay?

Cash, debit, credit and e-Transfer are accepted. Ask the technician for the itemized invoice for the work and hardware supplied.

Can you replace a worn deadbolt?

Yes. Lock changes and installations cover worn or damaged deadbolts and handle hardware. The door preparation, frame alignment and cylinder type determine which replacement fits.

Should I rekey or replace my locks?

Rekey a working lock when you want old keys to stop working after a move, lost key or change of tenant. Replace hardware that is damaged, worn or unsuitable for the door. The technician checks the cylinder before recommending the work.

Do you fit high-security locks?

Yes. Medeco, Mul-T-Lock and Abloy high-security cylinders are available for residential and commercial doors. The keyway and hardware must fit the door; discuss the lock model and key-control requirements when booking.

Can you handle condo doors and mailbox locks?

Yes. Suite locks and mailbox locks are part of residential service. For a condo, confirm any building hardware restrictions with management. For communal or Canada Post mailboxes, confirm authorization before requesting work.

Do you rekey offices and storefronts?

Yes. Commercial service includes lockouts, rekeys after staff turnover, high-security cylinders, panic hardware and door closers. Tell us the address, number of doors and hardware brand if known.

Do you unlock cars with the keys inside?

Yes. Car lockout, locked keys in the car, vehicle unlock and trunk opening are offered. Give the make, model, year and exact parking location. If a child or pet is in immediate danger, call 911 first.

Do you replace or program car keys?

No. Vehicle service is lockout and unlocking, not car-key replacement, programming, key cutting, ignition repair or broken-key extraction.

What warranty comes with the work?

Warranty on labour and parts. Keep the invoice and contact us with the lock model and the issue if you need help after a repair or installation.

Can I book a rekey after moving?

Yes. List the exterior doors and describe the existing locks. Rekeying changes which key opens a working cylinder without replacing the whole lock. Damaged locks are assessed separately.

Do you install smart locks or access control?

No. Smart-lock installation, master-key systems, access control, electric strikes and magnetic locks are not offered. Mechanical lock installation, rekeying and high-security cylinders are available.

Can you open a safe?

Yes. Residential and business safe opening is available for lost combinations or lock failures. Have the brand, model and lock type ready. The opening method depends on the safe; drilling is discussed before it is used.

Which Toronto neighbourhoods do you cover?

Downtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York and York, including neighbourhoods such as Liberty Village, The Annex, Yorkville, Leslieville, The Beaches and The Kingsway. Call with the address to confirm dispatch.

Which GTA cities do you cover?

Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. The locations pages group these by region and list local neighbourhoods.

What details help the technician prepare?

The address, whether you are locked out, the lock brand, and what the key or handle does. For a car, add make, model and year. For a safe, add the model and whether it has a dial or keypad. Do not send keys, entry codes or safe combinations in the form.
