If Your deadbolt only locks if you lift the door.
Then Realign the strike and renew the hinge screws.
A dropped door binds the bolt; setting the hinges and the strike returns the smooth throw.

Shop rules
Sound hardware, straight answers.
- A locksmith who listens. The job starts with your description, not our assumptions. What you have noticed about the door often points to the cause before we touch it.
- Honest about what is worth doing. Some hardware deserves saving and some does not. We tell you which and why, so you spend on what makes a difference.
- Left better than found. The door works, the area is clean and you have keys, notes and a clear idea of what to watch for. That is the standard for every visit.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Talk to us about access for your staff.

Which fix fits?
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If The patio slider has only the factory latch.
Then A keyed auxiliary lock or a bolt into the track.
Sliders lift out or pop their latch; a second lock fixed to the frame changes that.
If The door from the garage into the house has a knob lock and nothing else.
Then Add a graded deadbolt with a reinforced strike.
That door is often the weakest on the house and the one nobody watches from the street. Deadbolt Installation

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 23 in 100 homes · newer homes
- 53 in 100 homes · mixed housing
- About 23% of homes in Brampton were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Recent builds often have steel or fibreglass entry doors rather than solid wood. They resist warping and take hardware well, and a locksmith fitting a deadbolt or reinforced strike works with the door's construction so screws bite into something solid.
- Single-detached houses make up about 53% of homes in Brampton (2021 Census).Where the housing is mixed, expectations about what can be changed differ. A homeowner in a house decides everything; a condo owner works within house rules on the outer face. The locksmith knows which conversation to have at which door.
Frequently asked questions
Can I supply my own deadbolt?
Yes. Bring the box, the template and the instructions, and tell the locksmith the model beforehand so the bore and backset can be checked against your door. If the kit turns out to need a larger hole or a different faceplate than the door has, the locksmith adapts the door or suggests a matching model. Hardware bought online sometimes arrives set for a different door thickness, which is a small adjustment on site.
Will summer heat behind my storm door damage the lock?
It can stress it, and it is one of the first things the locksmith looks at. A full-glass storm door on a south- or west-facing entrance can push the air between the doors well above what electronics are rated for on a hot afternoon. The usual answers are a storm door with a vent or screen, swapping to the screen panel for summer, or a model whose maker rates it for that exposure. With that handled, the lock is fine.
Our property has a lot of separate gates. Is there a way to manage that with fewer keys?
Yes, a master key arrangement is a common answer: individual gates each keep their own key for day-to-day use, while one additional master key opens all of them for whoever manages the whole property, such as an owner or a maintenance contractor. Setting this up means recombining or replacing the cylinders involved so they share a compatible pinning structure, which is planned out before any single gate's lock is touched, so the system works as intended once finished.
How much weight does a filled safe put on the floor?
It depends entirely on the unit's size and construction, since the steel body itself usually weighs far more than whatever ends up inside it. A small document safe and a large commercial unit sit at very different points on that scale. Confirming the safe's own weight before delivery, and checking it against the floor it will sit on, is part of the assessment rather than something guessed at on arrival.
