Tell us what your Ashburnham door is doing
Lock work makes brass shavings, sawdust and small parts that roll under furniture. In Ashburnham homes we lay a drop sheet, catch what falls, and vacuum before we go. The door gets wiped down, the old keys are handed back or taken away as you prefer, and the only sign we were there is a lock that turns without complaint.

Shop rules
Local locksmiths who explain their work.
- Questions welcomed. Ask about the lock, the method, the parts or the reasoning. A good explanation is part of the service, not a favour.
- Nothing forced that could be finessed. We reach for picks and shims before drills, and we tell you if the lock has left us no gentle option.
- Swept, wiped and working. Metal filings, drywall dust and old screws all leave with us. The lock is tested from both sides and the key handed over.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Call us about stronger locks.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 64 in 100 homes · older homes
- 57 in 100 homes · mixed housing
- About 64% of homes in Peterborough were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Established homes often have non-standard bores and backsets from an earlier generation of hardware. A locksmith working in such an area carries adapter plates and cylinders in the older sizes, so an upgrade fits the existing door instead of forcing a new one.
- Single-detached houses make up about 57% of homes in Peterborough (2021 Census).In an area with both houses and attached homes, the work varies by the door. A detached house wants all its exterior doors on one key; a suite door wants a cylinder that suits a metal frame and respects building rules. A locksmith carries parts for both.

Questions we hear most
I am a landlord. Should I rekey between tenants?
Many landlords do, and it removes the question of whether every copy came back. The locksmith rekeys the unit's cylinders so the incoming tenant holds the only working keys, cuts the copies you want, and notes the count for your move-in record. Because provincial tenancy rules expect the tenant to be handed replacement keys whenever a landlord changes a lock, the visit ends with keys for both of you and a clear list of which doors were done.
How long does servicing a mortise lock take?
A single entry lock that needs cleaning, springs and a strike adjustment is generally done in one visit of an hour or two. Filing a bit key adds bench time, and a set of interior latches is longer simply because there are more of them. A case that needs a part fabricated, or a replacement case that has to be ordered to size, may mean a second visit; the locksmith says so at the assessment.
Is a smart lock as secure as a regular deadbolt?
The part that resists force is the same: a steel bolt, a solid strike with long screws and a door that closes true. Smart deadbolts meet the same residential hardware standards as mechanical ones, and a reinforced strike goes in regardless of which you choose. Where a smart lock adds is on the human side: codes that can be revoked and a door that locks itself, plus, on a key-free model, no keys to copy or lose. Good habits, such as unique codes and updates, keep the electronic side tidy.
Can more than one person have their own code?
Yes, on an electronic keypad that supports multiple users, each person can be given a separate code rather than everyone sharing one, which also makes it simple to remove a single code later without resetting the whole lock. A mechanical dial lock, by contrast, has one combination for everyone who needs it, so a change in who has access there means changing that one combination.
