Cherry Heights Lock Services
Before we open a door we ask to see that it is yours. Some customers are surprised by the question; most are relieved once they think it through. A locksmith who opens anything for anyone is a locksmith nobody should call. So we check a piece of identification, a lease, an ownership paper or a neighbour who can vouch, and we do it politely because being locked out is stressful enough. The same care runs through the rest of the visit. We explain each step, we leave the frame and finish as we found them, and we make sure the keys in your hand are the only ones that work.

Making the door safe first
The priority is a door that closes and locks tonight. We assess the frame, the strike and the lock, and secure whatever was forced so you can stop worrying about the opening.

Sorting permanent from temporary
Some damage needs a proper repair later; some can be fixed on the spot. We separate the two clearly and explain what a lasting fix involves without pushing you into it.

Rekeying or replacing
If keys were taken or the lock was compromised, we rekey or replace before leaving. You end the visit with a door that locks and keys that only you hold.

2021 census · what it means at the door
61%Older homes
About 61% of homes in Hamilton were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In neighbourhoods of established homes, keys have often been copied many times over many owners. Rekeying every exterior door to one fresh key is the common first job, and it works on old cylinders just as well as on new ones.
56%
Single-detached houses make up about 56% of homes in Hamilton (2021 Census).
Neighbourhoods of houses beside townhouses and low-rise buildings have a range of door constructions: solid wood, steel, fibreglass and metal-clad. A locksmith who works in such an area is used to fitting hardware to all of them without new holes.
