Locksmith FAQ — Newmarket & York Region

Most locksmith jobs in Newmarket range from about $90 to $250 depending on the work. A typical lockout starts around $90–$150, rekeying is roughly $20–$30 per cylinder plus a service call, and new lock installation depends on the hardware you choose. We confirm your exact price before we start, with no hidden fees.

Any service call or travel charge is included in the upfront price we give you before we head out — there are no separate surprise fees added when we arrive. For standard jobs we can quote a firm all-in price over the phone, so you know exactly what you'll pay.

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates over the phone or by message for most jobs. For straightforward work like lockouts, rekeying or standard installations we can give you a firm price before we head out. For larger commercial or access-control projects, we assess the site and provide a detailed written quote at no charge.

We quote your price before we come, day or night, and it doesn't jump because it's late or a weekend. We believe in honest, upfront pricing rather than inflated emergency surcharges, so the figure you're told on the phone is the figure you pay.

Besides Newmarket, we serve the surrounding York Region and nearby communities, including Aurora, Richmond Hill, Bradford, King City and Barrie. We are a fully mobile locksmith, so we come to your home, vehicle or business. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, just call.

Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and statutory holidays. When you call after hours, you reach a real person who can dispatch a technician, not a voicemail or a next-day callback.

For most addresses in Newmarket we arrive within 20–40 minutes of your call. Timing depends on traffic and where you are in York Region, but we always give you an honest ETA when you call. Urgent situations, such as a lockout in extreme cold or with a child inside, are prioritised.

Yes. Automotive lockouts are handled with professional, non-destructive tools designed to open the door without harming the lock, paint or window. We open most makes and models, and we can also cut and program replacement keys and fobs if yours are lost. We confirm the approach and price before starting.

Yes. We extract broken keys from locks and ignitions and, in most cases, cut you a fresh working key without needing to replace the whole lock. Avoid pushing the broken piece further in or forcing it, as that can damage the cylinder and increase the cost of the repair.

Call us first and stay somewhere safe while you wait. Tell us your location and whether anyone vulnerable is inside so we can prioritise. We'll give you a firm price and an ETA — usually 20–40 minutes in Newmarket. Avoid forcing the door or breaking a window, which almost always costs far more than a professional lockout.

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, while you keep the same hardware and get new keys — it's faster and cheaper. Changing the lock means installing brand-new hardware, which makes sense when a lock is worn or damaged, or when you want to upgrade the security or style. We'll recommend whichever fits your situation.

We are a professional locksmith company serving Newmarket and York Region. For commercial clients and property managers who require proof of insurance or specific credentials before work begins, we are happy to provide the relevant documentation on request — just ask when you call.

Before we open any property or vehicle, we ask for proof that you're the owner or an authorised occupant — a standard step that protects you and your neighbours. We also give you a clear price before any work begins, explain your options honestly rather than upselling, and you can reach a real local person whenever you call.

Yes. We stand behind the workmanship on the jobs we complete and use trusted, widely available hardware so replacement keys and parts are easy to source in the future. If something we installed isn't working as it should, contact us and we'll make it right.
