Before you call — what to expect
What Customers Usually Ask Before Booking an Emergency Locksmith
Can you handle mortise lock repairs, not just standard lockouts? Yes — mortise lock work is one of our core services. Whether your mortise lock body has seized, the cylinder has worn out, or the faceplate is damaged, our technicians carry the parts and tools to service, repair, or replace mortise locks on residential and commercial doors across Toronto.
Do I need to prove I own the property or vehicle before you'll help me? Absolutely, and we appreciate that you asked. Before any lockout service begins, we ask you to show government-issued ID and, where relevant, proof of ownership such as a vehicle registration or lease agreement. This step protects you and your neighbours, and we take it seriously on every single call.
Will I know the price before you start any work? Yes — always. When you call 647-558-2673, our dispatcher gathers details about your lock type (including whether it is a mortise lock, a door knob lock, or a vehicle lock), your location relative to our Toronto base, the time of day, and whether replacement parts are likely needed. All of those factors shape the quote. You receive a confirmed, exact up-front price before a single tool comes out of the van. If anything changes once the technician inspects the lock in person, we discuss it with you first.
I'm locked out late at night on Yonge Street near Eglinton — are you actually available right now? We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. There is no after-hours surcharge structure we hide from you — time of day is simply one of the transparent factors that goes into your quoted price, which you agree to before work starts. Call 647-558-2673 any time and a live team member will answer.
How Our Mortise Lock and Door Knob Lock Quote Process Works
Step 1 — You call 647-558-2673 and speak with a real person. Day or night, our dispatcher picks up. They will ask you a few straightforward questions: what is the issue (lockout, broken mortise lock, damaged door knob lock, commercial locksmith need, rekeying, etc.), where are you in Toronto, and what type of door or vehicle is involved. This takes about two to three minutes.
Step 2 — We assess the factors that shape your price. Our dispatcher considers the lock type and complexity (a mortise lock installation, for example, involves more components than a simple knob replacement), the time of day, your address relative to our technician's current location, and whether specialty parts will be needed. No guesswork — every factor is named out loud to you.
Step 3 — You receive a confirmed up-front price before we dispatch. Once we have enough information, we give you a specific price for the job. That is the price you will pay if the work matches what was described. If the technician arrives and finds something different — say, a mortise lock body that is more severely damaged than described — they will explain the change and get your approval before proceeding. You are never surprised by the final invoice.
Step 4 — We dispatch the nearest available technician to you. Our team covers Toronto neighbourhoods from Leslieville and the Annex to North York and Midtown, including the M4P area around Yonge and Eglinton. Once dispatched, the technician is on the way — no vague queues, no call centres routing you across the province.
What to Expect When Your ApexLink Technician Arrives
A realistic arrival window, communicated clearly. When we dispatch a technician, we give you an honest estimated arrival window based on real-time traffic and actual distance — not a scripted promise. If something changes en route (Toronto traffic on Yonge or Avenue Road can), we call you. You will not be left wondering.
A marked van and verifiable ID. Our technician arrives in an ApexLink Garage Masters vehicle and carries identification. You have every right to ask to see it before you open your door or hand over your keys. We encourage this — it is how responsible locksmith service should work, whether the job is an emergency locksmith call at 2 a.m. or a scheduled mortise lock replacement on a commercial door.
A plain-language walkthrough before any work begins. The technician will examine the lock — whether it is a seized mortise lock, a stripped door knob lock, a deadbolt, or a vehicle lock — and explain exactly what they intend to do and why. If the job is a mortise lock repair on a heritage property near Casa Loma or a commercial locksmith service on a multi-point door in a Midtown office, the explanation will be specific to that job, not a generic script. You confirm, then work begins.
A clean finish and a final check before the technician leaves. Once the work is done, the technician will test the lock with you present — turning the key, cycling the bolt, checking the handle — to confirm everything operates correctly. Any packaging, old hardware, or debris from the repair is removed from your property. We do not consider a job complete until you have tested the lock yourself and are satisfied. If you have follow-up questions about maintaining a new mortise lock or rekeying other locks in the same building, ask before we leave — that conversation costs nothing. Call 647-558-2673 any time to book or to ask questions before committing to a service.
