2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 30 in 100 homes · newer homes
- 81 in 100 homes · mostly houses
- About 30% of homes in Caledon were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.New homes frequently come with strikes held by short screws into soft framing. Replacing them with longer screws that reach the stud is inexpensive work that adds real strength, and it is one of the first things a locksmith checks in a newer area.
- Single-detached houses make up about 81% of homes in Caledon (2021 Census).Where the housing is mostly single houses, the door into the house from an attached garage is easy to overlook because it feels indoors. It is still an exterior door, and a proper deadbolt there is a sensible, low-fuss upgrade.
Short answers to common questions
An employee left and never returned their keys. Should we rekey?
It is the sensible step, and a lockout visit is a convenient moment for it. Rekeying keeps your existing cylinders and changes the pins so a new key operates them and the unreturned one does nothing. If your doors use interchangeable cores, swapping the core takes minutes. Bring every door that shared the old key onto the new one, count the fresh keys into named hands and start a register so the next departure is a line in a book rather than a call.
Is the lock that was forced still usable?
Sometimes, and the locksmith tests it honestly. A deadbolt that stayed thrown while the frame gave way may be undamaged, though a kick can bend the bolt where it crossed the gap or crack the housing. A cylinder that was twisted, drilled or punched is finished. Reused hardware must operate as smoothly as new with the door open and closed; if it hesitates, it is replaced, because a lock that took a blow tends to fail at the worst moment.
Does road salt affect door locks?
Yes, especially on side doors near a treated driveway or walkway. Salt spray dries into a crust inside the keyway and around the plug, and each thaw dissolves and re-deposits it deeper. Over a few winters it pits brass and makes the pins drag. The remedy is a flush with contact cleaner, a thorough drying, and a dry lubricant that sheds moisture, followed by rinsing the hardware when the weather allows.
My electronic safe lock has a dead battery. Do you still need to drill it?
Usually not. It depends on the model. Some electronic locks offer an external contact for a fresh battery, or a mechanical override key behind a cover plate; restoring power this way wakes a dead keypad but does not bypass a lost code on its own. Others have a reset port on the lock body, which sits inside the safe and still needs the door opened by other means first. The locksmith works through that model's own documented procedure before considering anything more invasive.
