Between downtown Uxbridge, Ontario, and the outlying hamlets, our team generally has someone at your side in around 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Locksmith Uxbridge
Should I Keep a Spare Car Key Hidden on the Vehicle?
It’s best to avoid it. Magnetic boxes tucked under bumpers or behind wheel wells are well known to thieves, and anyone who finds one gets both the car and whatever is inside it. A better plan is to keep a spare at home or with someone you trust, and to carry your main key in a zipped pocket when you head out on foot. If your only key goes missing at a trailhead, our team can help you get back in and arrange a replacement.
My Pet Is Inside and I’m Locked Out: What Now?
Call right away and mention that an animal is inside, especially on a hot or very cold day. Stay near the door so your pet can hear a familiar voice, and resist breaking a window, since broken glass can injure an animal and adds another repair. Our locksmith will work to open the door without damage and reunite you with your dog or cat quickly. If an animal seems to be in distress inside a car, contact emergency services first, then call us.
What Kind of Lock Suits a Short-Term Rental Property?
Keypad and smart deadbolts tend to be the most practical choice for a home rented to guests, because you can set a fresh code for every stay. That avoids handing out physical keys that may never come back. Pair it with a sturdy deadbolt on any secondary doors, and consider rekeying those locks once a season. Our team can fit the hardware and talk through how codes work, and it’s wise to keep a backup key in case batteries ever run low.
Are Pick-Resistant Locks Worth It for a Home?
Often, yes, particularly on the main entry door. Pick-resistant cylinders use more complex internal parts, which makes them much harder to defeat than a basic lock. They often come with restricted keys, meaning copies can’t be cut at any hardware counter. Still, a strong lock works best alongside a solid door, a reinforced strike plate, and good habits. Doors that face the street or sit out of view from neighbors benefit the most. We’ll gladly review your current setup and suggest whether an upgrade makes sense for your door and budget.
Can a Lock Be Rekeyed if Every Key Is Lost?
Yes, in most cases. When every copy has vanished, a locksmith first gains entry to the cylinder, then resets its internal pins to match a brand-new key. The old keys, wherever they ended up, stop working immediately. It’s a sensible route when the existing hardware is still in good condition. If several doors are affected, our team can match them all to the new key, leaving you one fresh ring to carry. Acting quickly matters, since whoever finds lost keys might also find your address.
