Areas we visit
Homeowners, business owners and drivers across Toronto and its neighbouring communities call us for the same reasons: a door that will not lock, a key that has gone missing, a lock that ought to be changed. Find your town below.
Toronto
Rekey. Repair. Replace, if it needs it.
Most locks in Toronto do not need replacing. They need new pins, a clean cylinder, or a strike moved a few millimetres so the bolt stops fighting the frame.
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Decades of seasons move a frame, and an older house often has a front door that locks easily in summer and fights in winter.
Armour Heights
Sticking lock? Worn key? Sorted.
A key that needs jiggling, a bolt that only throws when you lift the handle, a cylinder that spins loose in the door. These are small annoyances in Armour Heights homes that become lockouts if ignored.
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Basement and side entries on older homes were often fitted long after the house was built, with whatever lock was on hand.
Lawrence Heights
Secure the frame, not only the lock
Doors in Lawrence Heights usually give at the frame long before the lock fails. A reinforced strike, longer screws into the stud and a properly set deadbolt do more than a new cylinder alone.
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes tend to have had many hands on their doors: owners, tenants, tradespeople, family.
Lawrence Manor
Safes opened, combinations changed.
An inherited safe with no combination, a dial that has drifted, a keypad that stopped responding: each has a proper way in that preserves the box. We open, service and reset safes for homes and small businesses in Lawrence Manor, and explain how to keep the mechanism turning for…
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Where most homes were built decades ago, doors often still carry their original mortise locks and brass knobs.
Wilson Heights
Exit doors, closers, and hardware that lasts
Commercial doors in Wilson Heights take a beating: hundreds of openings a day, deliveries, weather, the odd kick. We fit lever sets, closers, push bars and deadlatches built for that traffic, adjust them so the door shuts and latches on its own, and come back to service them…
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Older housing means older frames.
Winston Park
Vintage hardware, cared for properly
Glass knobs, ornate escutcheons and mortise cases that have turned for generations deserve a locksmith who knows them. In Winston Park we clean, rebuild and re-spring old mechanisms, cut keys for locks that no longer have one, and match period-appropriate parts so the door keeps…
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. In neighbourhoods of established homes, keys have often been copied many times over many owners.
