Locked out in one of the towns around Toronto? Need locks changed in a rental across the region? The areas listed are ones we cover as a matter of routine, with the same care wherever we go.
Toronto
After a break-in, the door comes first
Once the report is filed, the door still has to lock tonight. In Toronto we repair split frames and bent strikes, replace damaged cylinders, rekey anything that might have been compromised, and talk through sensible upgrades later, once the house feels like yours again.
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.
Bloordale Gardens
Keys that fit. Locks that hold.
A door that latches on the first push, a deadbolt that throws fully into the frame, a key that slides in without a wiggle. These small things add up to a home in Bloordale Gardens that feels secure every time you close the door behind you.

Eringate
Keys that fit. Locks that hold.

Etobicoke
Vintage hardware, cared for properly
Glass knobs, ornate escutcheons and mortise cases that have turned for generations deserve a locksmith who knows them. In Etobicoke 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…

Glen Agar
Straight talk about what's on your door
You should know what protects your home and why it matters. For households in Glen Agar we grade the hardware already fitted, point out the weak link, whether that is a short strike screw or a cylinder that picks easily, and suggest only the changes that make a real difference.
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Older doors are usually thicker and made of solid wood, which is good news.
Islington
Smart locks, fitted to a sound door
A keypad or phone-controlled lock is only as good as the door it sits on. Before anything is mounted on a home in Islington we check the alignment, the strike and the bore, then set up codes, a mechanical backup and a walkthrough so the household can actually use what was…
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census. Layers of paint build up on older doors and frames, and a lock that seemed to fail is sometimes a latch glued shut by the last coat.
Princess Margaret
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 Princess Margaret, and explain how to keep the mechanism turning…

Thorncrest Village
Condo doors and shared entrances
Living in a building in Thorncrest Village means two kinds of doors: the suite door you control and the common doors the building manages. We service both, working within house rules on the outer hardware and giving your own door a cylinder, strike and closer that suit how the…

Straight talk about what's on your door
