Confirming it is your door
Before touching the lock we ask for identification or another way to show you live or work there. It protects you as much as anyone.

Most doors can be picked or bypassed with no damage. We start there and only move to a firmer method if the lock leaves no other choice, explaining as we go.

A working lock before we go
Once you are inside we check the lock still turns properly and that you have a key that works. If the lock was the reason you were stuck, we say so.

2021 census · what it means at the door
57%Older homes
About 57% of homes in Haldimand County were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Where housing is mostly older, many entries still have only a knob lock and no deadbolt at all. Adding one is a straightforward job on a solid wood door, and it is the single upgrade that changes most for a house of this kind.
