A look inside the keyway
We check how deep the fragment sits and whether the cylinder was already worn or dry. That tells us how to draw the piece out without pushing it further.
Rekey, repair, replace: whatever the door needs.
Davisville Lock & Key Co.
This company started with one van, a bench full of cylinders and a habit that has never left: explaining the job before touching the door. The founder learned the trade the slow way, fitting deadbolts in draughty side entrances and pulling snapped keys out of car doors in the cold. Those early years taught a simple lesson. People care less about the mechanism and more about knowing what is happening to their home. So we still talk first. We ask what worries you, look at the hardware, and describe what we would do and why. Then you decide. The tools are better now and the team is bigger, but that first conversation still sets the tone for every visit.

Shop rules
Rekey, repair, replace: whatever the door needs.
- Straight talk about your options. We describe what each choice does and what it asks of you in effort, disruption and future flexibility, so the decision is yours.
- Work explained as it happens. If you want to watch, we tell you what each step is for. If you would rather make a coffee, we give you the summary at the end.
- Tidiness as standard. A lock change should not leave a mess. We bring what we need to keep the door area clean and we leave it that way.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Get in touch when you're ready.

Drawing the piece out
With extraction tools and patience the broken blade comes out whole. We clean and lubricate the cylinder so the next key goes in smoothly.

Cutting a fresh key
A key that snapped was usually tired. We cut a new one from the two halves or from the lock itself, test it and suggest retiring any other worn copies.

How a visit goes
Every lockout and every key job begins the same way: we make sure the person asking is entitled to ask. That might be a driver's licence with the address on it, a lease or a property manager on the phone.
