Emergency Locksmith in Oshawa
We carry out emergency locksmith for homes across Oshawa, from Downtown Oshawa, Lakeview and O'Neill through to Samac. Help for lockouts, break-ins, failed locks and vehicles — 7 days a week, 8 AM to 11 PM, across the GTA.
A large stock of pre-war and post-war worker housing near the downtown and the former GM lands, student rental conversions around Ontario Tech, and newer subdivisions to the north at Windfields. Knowing the housing stock matters: the right hardware for a 1960s side entrance in Downtown Oshawa is not the right hardware for a post-2010 build, and fitting the wrong one wastes your money.
Oshawa's student rental belt around Ontario Tech and Durham College creates steady turnover work — every tenancy change is a legitimate rekey, and landlords managing several properties benefit from a master key system where each unit keeps its own key while one management key opens the portfolio. The older downtown housing frequently still has original rim locks and skeleton-key mortise hardware, which can usually be retained and upgraded rather than replaced outright.
When you call from Oshawa, tell us the nearest main intersection — King Street, for example — so the technician can plan the route.

Our hours — and what to do after 11 PM
We are open 7 days a week, 8 AM to 11 PM. We are not a 24-hour service, and we would rather you know that now than find out at 2 AM.
If you are unsafe, or a child or an animal is locked in a vehicle, call 911 — emergency services will get to you. If you are safe but locked out late at night, try a neighbour or family member with a key, or your building superintendent or management line.
Then leave your number on this page, and we call you when we open.
How our pricing works
We give you a price estimate on the phone. When the final price can only be set on site, the technician tells you the price before starting any work.
