Before you call — what to expect
What Customers Usually Ask Before Booking a Mortise Lock or Emergency Locksmith Service
Can you handle mortise locks and older door hardware, not just standard door knob locks? Yes — mortise lock work is one of our core specialties. Whether your property has a century-old mortise pocket in a solid wood door or a modern multi-point mortise system on a commercial door, our technicians carry the tools and parts to service, rekey, or replace it on the spot.
How do I know the price before you start? Every job gets a confirmed, up-front quote before a single tool comes out of the van. The quote accounts for the lock or vehicle type, the complexity of the work, travel distance, time of day, and any parts required — so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do I have to prove I own the property or vehicle before you help me? Yes, and that step protects you as much as it protects us. During a lockout we ask for a piece of government-issued ID and, where possible, supporting proof of ownership such as a lease agreement, registration, or a piece of mail at the address. This is standard practice for any responsible locksmith. If you are ready to book, call 437-525-4159 — we answer 24/7.
Are you actually available at 3 a.m. on a holiday weekend? Guardian Gate Toronto Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including statutory holidays. Our dispatch line is always live — you will reach a real person, not a voicemail, whenever you call 437-525-4159.
How Our Quote Process Works — From First Call to Confirmed Price
Step 1 — Describe the situation. When you call 437-525-4159, tell us what you are dealing with: a residential lockout on Spadina Avenue, a broken mortise lock cylinder on a commercial door near King Street West, a car lockout in the Annex, or any other lock-related need. The more detail you share, the more accurately we can prepare.
Step 2 — We assess the factors that affect your price. Our dispatcher considers the type of lock or vehicle involved (for example, a high-security mortise lock body requires different parts than a standard door knob lock), the time of day, your location within the Toronto area, and the scope of work — rekey, replacement, repair, or extraction.
Step 3 — You receive a clear quote before we dispatch. We give you a firm, all-in price over the phone based on the information you have provided. No 'starting from' language, no hidden fees added at the door.
Step 4 — You decide, then we roll. Only after you agree to the quoted price do we dispatch the nearest available technician. If anything changes on arrival that would affect the cost — for example, a discovered secondary lock or an unexpected lock model — we tell you immediately and get your approval before proceeding. Work never begins without your go-ahead.
What to Expect When Your Commercial Locksmith or Residential Technician Arrives
Arrival window communicated clearly. After dispatch, your technician will be en route to your Toronto location — whether that is a condo on Bay Street, a shop near Kensington Market, or a home in Scarborough. We keep you informed of the estimated arrival window so you are not left guessing. Mobile service means the technician comes to you with a fully stocked van.
Identification and vehicle you can verify. Our technician arrives in a marked Guardian Gate van and carries photo identification. Before any work begins, you are welcome — and encouraged — to verify who is at your door. This is especially important for after-hours emergency locksmith calls and commercial locksmith visits to business premises.
Walkthrough of the work before and after. The technician will explain exactly what needs to be done — whether that is rekeying a mortise lock, replacing a worn door knob lock cylinder, or programming a transponder key — and confirm the price matches what was quoted. After the job is complete, they will walk you through the finished work, hand over any new keys, and make sure everything operates correctly before leaving.
Clean, tidy finish every time. We treat your door frame, floor, and surrounding area with care. Any hardware packaging, old parts, or debris from the job is removed or collected before the technician leaves. The goal is that the only visible difference when we are done is a lock that works properly. Ready to book or just have more questions? Call 437-525-4159 — we answer 24/7.
