It is minus fifteen, the wind is coming across the driveway, and the key will only go halfway into the deadbolt. Yesterday's thaw left water in the keyway and overnight it froze solid. Forcing it only makes the metal flex.

Locked out
Safely, right now
- Stay somewhere warm and safe while you wait, such as a neighbour's or your car.
- Don't break a window or pry the door. It adds damage without getting you in sooner.
- Keep ID that shows your address handy if it is with you.
Key broke in the lock
Safely, right now
- Don't push the broken piece back in or try the lock again.
- Keep the piece you still have. It helps cut a new key.
Lock won't turn
Safely, right now
- Don't force the key. A bent or broken key makes it harder.
- Skip the oil, the glue and the hot water. They make it worse.
Lost keys
Safely, right now
- If your address was with the keys, treat the lock as known to whoever finds them.
- Don't hide a spare key anywhere outside in the meantime, not even under the mat.
A door that latches on the first push, a deadbolt that throws fully into the frame, a key that slides in without a wiggle. These small things add up to a home in Temperanceville that feels secure every time you close the door behind you. We fuss over them so you never have to. This page also covers Eversley and Snowball.

The fix, explained · Temperanceville
What is the door doing?
EmergencyHome Lockout ServiceAfter a week of humid weather the back door has swollen in its frame.
The fix
Winter creates its own kind of lockout. Meltwater runs into a keyway during the day and freezes overnight, a weather-exposed cylinder stiffens in the cold, and a door that shrank in January may drop its bolt out of line with the strike.
EmergencyBusiness Lockout ServiceMinus eighteen with a wind, and the exterior cylinder on the shop door has frozen solid overnight after yesterday's slush.
The fix
On a commercial door the lock is rarely alone. A door contact feeds the alarm panel, a card reader drives an electric strike or a magnetic lock, and a monitoring company is watching for an opening outside business hours.
EmergencyBroken Key ExtractionThat key had been bending a little for years, and you kept straightening it.
The fix
The tools are simple and precise. A hook extractor is a thin strip of spring steel with a barb at the tip; it slides along the groove of the keyway above or below the fragment, snags one of the cuts, and walks it out.
EmergencyBreak-In Damage Lock RepairThe shop's aluminum door has a bent meeting stile and the hookbolt is jammed half out.
The fix
Break-ins seldom come through the door with the strongest lock. Sliding patio doors are lifted off their track or pried at the latch, the garage man-door carries a light knob lock, a basement walkout is out of sight, and a storefront's narrow-stile deadbolt sits behind a bendable aluminum edge.

EmergencySeized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe key slides all the way in, exactly as it has for years, and then refuses to turn in either direction.
The fix
A jammed lock looks like one problem from outside and is usually one of three inside. The cylinder itself may have seized, packed with grit, corrosion or old grease.

Arrange a lock check for your Temperanceville property
Before a locksmith opens any door in Temperanceville, he asks to see that it is yours: a piece of identification, a lease, an ownership paper, or a neighbour who can vouch. Most people are relieved by the question. The rest of the visit follows the same habit of care: explain each step, leave the frame and finish as we found them, and make sure the keys in your hand are the only ones that work.

You know what is happening. From the first look to the last turn of the key, we narrate the job in plain terms. You should never wonder what we are doing to your door.
Suggestions, not pressure. If we think an upgrade would help, we say so once and explain why. If you decline, that is the end of it.
The old parts handled. Removed locks and keys are given to you or taken away as you prefer. Old keys that no longer work are worth destroying, and we will do that if you like.

2 / 9
Your purse was taken from the back of a chair at a restaurant. The cards can be cancelled by phone tonight, but the house keys were in the side pocket beside a driver's licence that shows exactly where those keys fit.
3 / 9
The kids get home before you do and the spare key has been lost twice this school year. A keypad they can tap, plus a message to your phone when the door opens, would take a daily worry off the list.
4 / 9
The accountant's office keeps a decade of client files in cardboard boxes because the only safe in the building is a small drawer safe meant for a laptop, nowhere near large enough for binders of paper.
5 / 9
You have lost count of how many people have had a key to your house over the years: cleaners, a contractor, a former partner, the previous owner's family. The lock still works, but you no longer know who else it works for.
6 / 9
The team has grown past the point where one shared key still makes sense. New hires need a way in before a manager arrives, and the current setup cannot tell one person's entry from another's.
7 / 9
After the fit-out, the gym floor now holds more people than the old office space ever did, and the exit door at the back still has the same turn-lock it had when the room held desks.
8 / 9
The trunk is full of groceries, the cart is back in its corral, and the keys are sitting in the cup holder in plain view. Every door handle lifts and stops. The car locked itself the moment the last door closed, and it is a warm afternoon.
9 / 9
The remote clicks the way it always has, but the vehicle no longer locks, unlocks or answers with its usual chirp. Nothing on the dash reacts either. A fading battery inside the fob is the likely reason, even though the fob itself looks and feels completely normal.

What the census means at the door
38%
Homes of every age. About 38% of homes in King were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Mixed housing stock keeps a locksmith versatile. A morning might be a heritage mortise lock rebuilt and an afternoon a smart lock paired to a phone on a steel door. The same care goes into both, with tools and parts for each.
87%
Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 87% of homes in King (2021 Census).
Homeowners in houses often want a spare key that lives outside safely. A locksmith can fit a proper key safe or set up a keypad so a hidden key under a pot is no longer part of the plan.
Ask us anything about locks
How should I look after my lock so it stays reliable?
A little attention twice a year is enough. Follow your lock's own care instructions: many take a puff of dry graphite or PTFE lubricant worked in with the key, some a specified liquid product instead; general-purpose oils collect grit. Retire keys that have worn thin and cut fresh ones from a crisp original or the code. Snug up hinge and strike screws each spring and fall as the door moves with the humidity. A key that starts needing a wiggle is an early warning worth acting on.
What should I do before the locksmith arrives?
Walk the property and note every door the missing key opened, including the garage, shed and gate. Gather any keys you still have, since a working key helps in reading each cylinder. Have identification and, for tenants, something showing the tenancy. Decide roughly how many keys you want and whether you would like all doors on one key. If a garage remote or building fob was lost too, mention it when you book.
Can you set up codes for my kids, the cleaner and the dog walker?
Yes, and separate codes for each of them is the whole point. During setup a code is created per person, so you can see who came in and remove one person without affecting the rest. Where the model allows, the cleaner's code can be limited to certain hours and days, and a one-time code can be made for a delivery or a contractor. Children's codes are set short enough to remember and changed if they are overheard.
Will anchoring damage my flooring?
Anchoring leaves small holes at the anchor points, sized to the bolts being used, and on a finished floor these sit under the safe itself where they are never seen again. On tile, the risk of cracking nearby tiles is real enough that an alternative fastening point or a different spot in the room is often chosen instead of drilling straight through the tile itself.
