Emergency Locksmith Markham

Let's not sugarcoat it - lockouts suck. They never happen when you've got time to spare or daylight to burn. It's always raining. Or cold. Or you're already late for something. And suddenly, there you are - stuck outside your house, car, or storefront wondering what now.

This is when most people start typing "emergency locksmith near me" into their phone with freezing fingers. And unfortunately, that search doesn't always give you help - it gives you ads, dispatchers, and promises from companies that don't even know where Markham is on the map.

We're Markham Lock And Key. We live here. We work here. And when your key breaks off in the deadbolt or your fob stops talking to your car, we're the ones who actually show up.

24 Hour Locksmith Service That Actually Means 24 Hours

We don't switch off. When you call, you talk to someone local - not an answering service in another province. We've done lockouts at 2AM in Berczy. Replaced jammed deadbolts on Sunday mornings in Box Grove. Gotten folks back into cars outside Shoppers Drug Mart before the pharmacy even opened.

Fast? Yep. But more importantly, calm. Efficient. Clear. We don't show up and start drilling. We start by asking questions, checking options, and figuring out what makes sense - not what makes the most money.

Real Emergency Locksmith Calls We've Handled

A man locked out during a lunch break. Still holding his soup, by the way.

A key fob that completely died on a Friday night - outside a wedding venue. We got there fast, diagnosed it, replaced the fob, and the guy still made it to the reception speech.

There was also that one call - 5AM, mid-February. Teenager locked out, trying not to wake the house. We got him in without a sound, no damage, no lecture. Just a quiet thumbs up.

Locked Out of Your House?

You're not the first. And definitely not the last. Whether the door slammed behind you or your smart lock decided it had "trust issues", we know how to get you back in. Clean entry, no damage to the frame, and if your lock needs rekeying or replacing - we can handle that on the spot.

Tip: If your Yale or Weiser smart lock stops responding and there's no key backup... don't panic. We've cracked worse situations.

Emergency Car Locksmith - Car Doors, Fobs, Ignitions

Car locksmith calls? Daily business. Keys inside. Trunk won't open. Fob stops working right as you finish loading groceries. We've done it all, and we do it without messing up your trim or scratching paint.

Our mobile locksmith setup includes replacement fobs, batteries, and programming gear for most makes. So we don't just unlock - we get the whole thing fixed so it doesn't happen again tomorrow.

And no - you don't need to tow it to the dealership.

What Will It Cost?

We keep our locksmith prices fair. Callout rates vary by time, but most emergencies in Markham run between $90 and $150. If it's quick, we charge like it's quick. No markup for "looking desperate". Ever.

We'll tell you the price before we start. And if we can talk you through a fix over the phone? We do that too. Not every emergency needs a van and a drill.

We Don't Just Rush In - We Solve the Right Problem

Had a client last month who thought their front door lock was completely broken. They were about to replace the whole thing. Turned out it was just swollen wood from the humidity. We adjusted the frame and the door shut clean again.

Another time, a woman called from a condo parking garage - stuck, panicking, car wouldn't start. She thought it was the ignition. It was her fob battery. We swapped it. She hugged us. Twice.

Markham Knows Us Because We've Been Here

We don't need a billboard. Our vans have been in your neighborhood for years. We've rekeyed homes near Main Street, opened safes in Cachet, fixed office locks off Highway 7. This isn't some new gig. This is what we do, every day.

We're not perfect. But we're real. We're careful. And when we say "emergency locksmith" - we mean it the way it should be meant: people helping people when they need it most.

Save Our Number - Just In Case

You might not need us tonight. Hopefully you never do. But if your keys disappear, your lock jams, or your toddler decides to push the auto-lock while you grab the mail... keep us in mind.

Markham Lock And Key - the emergency locksmith that actually answers the phone. And shows up.
