Maryhill Lock & Key Specialists
Locksmithing is a trade you keep learning. Every year brings new smart locks, new vehicle systems and new ways for old hardware to fail. Our technicians spend time on the bench taking new products apart before fitting them on a customer's door, so that when we recommend something we know how it behaves in cold weather and after a thousand cycles. We share what we learn with you in plain terms. If a product is fussy, we say so. If a simple mechanical deadbolt would serve you better than anything with a battery, we say that too. Staying curious keeps the advice honest, and honest advice is what keeps people calling.

How a visit goes
The first useful move after losing a key is to think about where it worked rather than where it went. A house key commonly opens more than the front door: the back door, a side entrance, the door from the garage into the house, a shed, a gate padlock, sometimes a storage room or a mailbox.

Counting the doors and keys
We walk the house with you, note every exterior lock and ask which doors you want on one key. That decides the pin work and the number of keys to cut.

Pinning the cylinders
Each cylinder comes out, gets new pins to match a fresh key, and goes back in. Old keys stop working the moment the cylinder is back in place.

Testing every door with every key
We try each new key in each lock, from outside and inside, hand you the set and explain how many copies exist so you know exactly who can get in.

2021 census · what it means at the door
44%Homes of every age
About 44% of homes in Guelph were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In an area where homes span several eras, one street may have original mortise locks and the next builder-grade cylinders. A locksmith working here carries parts for both, so whichever door he meets, the job finishes in one visit.
49%
Single-detached houses make up about 49% of homes in Guelph (2021 Census).
In areas of mixed housing, landlords may own a house here and a few units there. A locksmith can put all of it under one master system so the owner carries one key while each tenant's key opens only their own door.
