Emergency Locksmith in Scarborough
We carry out emergency locksmith for homes across Scarborough, from Agincourt, Malvern and Guildwood through to Bendale. Same-day help for lockouts, break-ins, failed locks and vehicles — 7 days a week, 8 AM to 11 PM, across the GTA.
One of the largest concentrations of 1960s–80s bungalows, backsplits and sidesplits in Ontario, many with side and rear entrances added later, plus extensive post-war apartment towers. Knowing the housing stock matters: the right hardware for a 1960s side entrance in Agincourt is not the right hardware for a post-2010 build, and fitting the wrong one wastes your money.
The split-level and bungalow stock here is the reason Scarborough generates so much break-in repair work: side and rear doors added in the 1970s often sit in softwood jambs with a 1/2-inch strike screw, which a single kick defeats regardless of how good the deadbolt is. The fix that actually holds is a full-length security strike with 3-inch screws driven into the stud — hardware that costs very little and changes the outcome completely. Rear service doors on the Kennedy and Markham Road plazas take the same treatment.
Our Scarborough rate is the same as our Toronto rate. Distance-based surcharges that appear only on the invoice are a practice in this trade and not one of ours.

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. We call you at 8 AM, before the day’s bookings, so you are first in the queue rather than one of the morning’s new calls.
How our pricing works
We tell you the price on the phone before anyone is dispatched. What we do not do is advertise a very low figure to get a technician to your door and then present a different number once you have waited in the cold.
That practice is widespread enough in this trade to be worth naming. The pattern is a headline price that applies to almost nothing, a technician who arrives and cites unforeseen complications, and a final bill several times the quote. If a company will not commit to a figure on the phone, that is the reason.
This page covers emergency locksmith specifically in Scarborough. For the full technical detail — every option, every fault mode and the complete FAQ — see our main emergency locksmith page.
Emergency Locksmith in Scarborough — questions
Do you cover all of Scarborough?
Yes — the whole municipality, including Agincourt, Malvern, Guildwood, West Hill and Birch Cliff, across the M1B, M1C, M1E and M1G postal areas and the rest. We also cover the surrounding City of Toronto area and the neighbouring municipalities, so a job that sits on a boundary is not a problem.
How quickly can you get to Scarborough?
It depends on the time of day, where in Scarborough you are, and what is already in progress. We give you a realistic window when you call rather than an optimistic one, and we would rather tell you ninety minutes and arrive in seventy. We take emergency calls 7 days a week, 8 AM to 11 PM — after that, leave your number and we call you at 8 AM.
How much does an emergency callout cost?
It depends on the job, the door or vehicle, and where you are in the GTA. We give you the figure on the phone before anyone is dispatched. Be wary of any operator who will not — the well-known pattern in this trade is a low advertised price followed by a much higher one quoted on your doorstep after you have already waited.
How quickly can you get here?
It depends on where you are and what is already in progress. We give a realistic window when you call, and we would rather tell you ninety minutes and arrive in seventy than promise twenty and leave you watching the street. If you are outside in winter, or with a child, tell us and we will prioritise.
Are you open 24 hours?
No. We are open 7 days a week, 8 AM to 11 PM. Outside those hours, leave your number and we call you at 8 AM — first thing, before the day’s bookings. If you are unsafe, or a child or an animal is locked in a vehicle, call 911.
