01 — About Ajax service

Working locksmith in Ajax,
not a call-centre with a map.

Mobile locksmith service across Ajax runs out of the durham van, so the van is usually inside 20–35 min across ajax of a call. That's the difference between waiting at the door for two hours and being back inside before the coffee goes cold. Every truck carries the working stock a real Ajax job needs — Schlage and Weiser deadbolts, Kwikset SmartKey cylinders, Mul-T-Lock and Medeco high-security keyways, Adams Rite hookbolts for storefronts, Yale and Schlage Encode smart locks, and the closers and pivots most doors on this side of the GTA are hung on.

Most calls in Ajax land in one of three buckets. Residential — a snapped key in a front deadbolt in Downtown Ajax, Pickering Village, Applecroft, Lakeside, a rekey after a closing, a smart-lock swap on a new build. Commercial — an office rekey after a staff change, a storefront hookbolt seized on a Sunday morning, an Adams Rite latch that finally gave up. Automotive — keys locked in the trunk at a plaza, a fob that stopped talking to the ignition. One dispatcher, one van, one $29 flat service call across all of it — no per-item call-out fee stacked on top at the end.

Pricing in Ajax works the same way it works everywhere else on the site: the $29 service call is confirmed on the phone, the labour and parts are quoted before the tech opens a toolbox, and the number on the invoice matches the number you heard. Every job carries a warranty on labour and parts — if a cylinder we installed in Central Ajax, Southwood fails inside the warranty window, the same tech comes back and fixes it. Licensed in Ontario since 2013, fully insured, and every truck in the Ajax rotation is dispatched from a real address, not a call-centre in another province.

Why Ajax
stops calling the others.

01
Service call: $29

$29 service call inside Ajax. Labour and parts are confirmed before the van moves.

02
Locksmith licence in good standing

Required in Ontario. Anyone who can't recite a number isn't legally a locksmith here.

03
Picks first, drills last

Less than 5% of residential jobs end with a drilled cylinder. The other 95% open with a single-pin pick or a bypass.

04
Warranty on labour and parts

Anything we installed fails inside a year? We come back, fix it.

05
Same human on the phone

No call-centre, no menu tree. Whoever picks up is dispatching the van.

07Straight answers

Ajax
locksmith FAQ.

How fast can a locksmith get to Ajax?

20–35 min across Ajax. That's from the durham van — the tech is already inside the service area when the call comes in.

How much does a locksmith cost in Ajax?

$29 flat service call to come out. Parts and labour are quoted on the phone before dispatch — the number you hear is the number on the invoice. No hidden after-hours fee, no per-item call-out charge tacked on at the door.

Do you rekey locks in Ajax or do we have to buy new ones?

Rekeying is the default. Most Weiser, Schlage and Kwikset deadbolts in Ajax can be re-pinned in 10–15 minutes to a fresh key — new hardware only goes on if the existing cylinder is worn out, tampered, or you're upgrading to a Mul-T-Lock or Medeco high-security keyway.

Are you licensed to work in Ajax?

Ontario-licensed since 2013, fully insured, and every technician on the Ajax rotation carries the provincial locksmith licence. Ask any tech for the number when they arrive — it's on the ID.

Can you open a car in Ajax without damaging it?

Yes. Non-destructive entry is the default on cars — most sedans, SUVs and pickups in Ajax open in 5–15 minutes with a wedge and long-reach tool, no scratched paint, no bent trim. Priority dispatch when there's a child or pet in the vehicle.

Do you cover Ajax 24 hours?

Yes. The durham van runs immediate dispatch across Ajax at any hour — lockouts, break-in re-secures and emergency board-ups included. Same $29 service call regardless of time of day.

Long-form — locksmith Ajax

What a real Ajax locksmith call looks like — start to finish

Every call into Ajax starts the same way — a human dispatcher, not a call-centre script. You tell us what happened (locked out, snapped key in the deadbolt, ex-tenant walked off with the only copy, storefront break-in overnight), where you are in Ajax (Durham), and what kind of door you are looking at. Inside 90 seconds you have a real ETA — 15–30 minutes across Toronto, 20–40 across the wider GTA — and a real price frame: $29 flat service call, labour and parts quoted before we touch anything.

The van rolls out of the nearest staging point along the 401, DVP, 410, 404 or QEW — whichever gets the tech to your door fastest. We arrive with a full residential/commercial/automotive kit: pick guns, single-pin picks and bypass tools first, then Schlage B60N, Kwikset 980, Weiser Halifax, Mul-T-Lock MT5+ and Medeco cylinders in the truck if the call turns into a full lock change. Roughly 95% of residential lockouts open with picking or a bypass — no drilling, no scratched paint, no cylinder swap you did not ask for.

Why Ajax houses and condos need more than a builder-grade Kwikset

Every new build across the GTA — the detached subdivisions in Mount Pleasant and Milton, the condo towers in Liberty Village, VMC and Square One, the townhouses going up in Pickering and Ajax — ships with the cheapest deadbolt the developer could order in bulk. That is fine on move-in day. It is not fine three years later after two lost keys, a contractor with a copy, a package thief who tested every knob on the street, and a Kwikset SmartKey cylinder that a $15 tool from YouTube opens in under a minute.

The upgrade path we recommend most often: swap the front-door deadbolt to a Schlage B60N Grade 2 or step up to Mul-T-Lock MT5+ on any door that faces the street. Add a secondary bar or pin on the patio slider. Rekey the back door and garage entry to match the new front-door key so you carry one key, not four. Total time on a two-door house: under an hour on the driveway. Total upside: your front door stops being the weakest point in the security posture.

Commercial calls we run across Ajax

  • Retail rekeys on Queen West, Yonge, Bloor, Danforth, Bayview, Roncesvalles and Corso Italia — same-day after a manager or key-holder leaves.
  • Office master-key systems on Bay Street, King West, Yonge-Eglinton and North York tech corridors — pyramid-key hierarchies for reception, ops, execs and cleaners.
  • Restaurant back-of-house door repair — sagging steel service doors, broken push-pull paddles, closer replacement so the door does not slam and wake the neighbours.
  • Warehouse and industrial in Etobicoke, Vaughan, Concord and Mississauga — high-cycle mortise locks, exit devices, roll-up door secondary locks.
  • Condo corporations — common-area rekeys after a super turnover, mailbox lock changes, parking-cage locks, storage-locker cuts.
  • Property management portfolios — scheduled quarterly rekeys, key-holder audit, single-invoice billing across a full unit list.

What we will not do

A short, honest list. We will not drill a lock we can pick. We will not cut a transponder car fob on the roadside for a car that needs dealer-side programming — you will end up paying us and then paying the dealer to fix what we cut. We will not quote you a fake low number on the phone to get the van to your door. We will not open a door for someone who cannot prove they live there or run the business — a lease, a driver's licence with the address, a utility bill on a phone photo. And we will not "recommend" a $600 smart lock that a 79-year-old on a fixed income does not want or need — a Schlage B60N and three cut keys is the right answer far more often than a Wi-Fi module with a subscription.
