Residential Locksmith in Oshawa: the short version

A house lock rarely fails at a convenient time. If yours has failed in Oshawa, call us: we answer until 11 PM, every day, and explain the options before any work starts.

Eastdale, Windfields and student housing

Oshawa has older bungalows in Eastdale, student housing near Ontario Tech and Durham College, and newer homes in Windfields. Rental turnover is high in the student areas, so landlords rekey between tenancies to make sure earlier keys stop working. Older bungalows benefit from a stronger deadbolt and a reinforced strike. Keypads suit shared houses, since each student gets a code that can be removed when the lease ends.

Common home jobs

  • Handles that have gone loose on a door used all day
  • Steel strike plates and long screws after a break-in attempt
  • Freeing a frozen deadbolt on a January morning

Residential Locksmith questions for Oshawa

Should a landlord rekey between student tenants in Oshawa?

Yes. Rekeying is the cheapest way to make sure old keys stop working after a tenant leaves. Keep a dated record of what was done and who received the new keys.

Can you rekey my Oshawa home without replacing the locks?

In most cases yes. Rekeying changes the inner pins so old keys stop working, and you keep the hardware.
