Change Locks for Peace of Mind
Moving into a new property, dealing with the aftermath of a break-in, or finally deciding to replace a sticking, worn-out deadbolt should be a simple process. iProtect Locksmith provides professional, mobile lock change services across the GTA.
We don’t just swap hardware; we evaluate your door’s security. We will honestly explain whether rekeying your existing locks or proceeding with a full replacement makes more sense for your budget and safety.
When to Replace Instead of Rekey
While rekeying changes the key that operates an existing lock, a full hardware replacement is necessary when:
- The existing hardware is old, mechanically damaged, or failing.
- You want to compare standard builder-grade locks with hardware offering stronger resistance and tighter key control.
- You are switching to modern smart locks or electronic keypads for convenience.
- The lock or door frame has been physically compromised by a break-in attempt.
- You want to change the aesthetic style or finish of your door hardware.
Trusted Hardware & Expert Installation
We install and service hardware with different levels of forced-entry resistance and key control. Installation includes checking bolt and strike alignment and discussing suitable reinforcement for the door and frame; the correct fasteners and approach depend on the opening’s construction and condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I change my locks or rekey them?
If your current lock hardware is in good condition and from a reputable brand, rekeying (changing the internal pins so old keys no longer work) is cheaper. If the lock is worn, damaged, or builder-grade, a full lock replacement is recommended.
Can you install a smart lock I purchased myself?
Yes, we offer installation services for customer-supplied hardware. We will ensure the door is properly aligned and the strike plate is reinforced so the smart lock operates smoothly without jamming.
Do you repair doors after a break-in?
Yes, if your door frame or lock was damaged during a forced entry, we can replace the compromised hardware, install heavy-duty strike plates, and reinforce the door frame to prevent future attacks.
What is a high-security lock?
High-security locks feature patented keyways that prevent unauthorized key duplication, as well as drill-resistant and pick-resistant components that standard hardware store locks lack.
