Every kind of lock, one call

We open, rekey, repair, replace and install. Under those five verbs sit dozens of specific jobs, from a stuck mailbox lock to a keypad on a warehouse door. The list below covers the ones people ask about most; if yours is missing, ask anyway.

Change or Rekey Locks

When you buy a house you inherit its keys, and there is no way to know how many were cut. Rekeying every exterior door in one visit resets that history.

  1. Two detached brass lock cylinders and four house keys on a wooden counter. — Lock Rekeying, Toronto
    Lock RekeyingEvery copy of your house key seems to work a little differently. One needs a jiggle, another sticks halfway, and the original wore down years ago.
  2. Person holding a silver-colored lock beside an open wooden door with exposed circular holes and a latch at its edge. — Deadbolt Installation, Toronto
    Deadbolt InstallationSomeone tried the door last winter. The frame took it, but the strike plate is bent, one screw hole is stripped, and the bolt sits in the pocket at a slight angle.
  3. Detached satin-nickel lever hardware, tubular latch and strike plate on a wooden workbench. — Lock Replacement & Upgrade, Toronto

  4. Person holding a long door handle and rectangular lock case beside an open wooden door with exposed hardware recesses. — Vintage Mortise Lock Service, Toronto
    Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceAfter a wet summer the entry door sits lower in its frame. The lock works perfectly when the door is open, but with it shut you have to lift the handle and shoulder the door to get the deadbolt to throw.
  5. Person holding a black door-handle assembly and a latch beside a glazed door with exposed lock openings. — Smart Lock Installation, Toronto
    Smart Lock InstallationThere are four copies of the front-door key floating around: one with the cleaner, one with a neighbour, one on a hook at your parents' place, and one you honestly cannot account for. You would rather hand out codes you…
  6. Pale blue garden gate with a black lever latch between light stone pillars. — Gate & Building Entry Locks, Toronto
    Gate & Building Entry LocksThe gate to the side yard used to close with a satisfying click. After a winter of frost heaving the fence post, the latch now sits a full inch below where the strike is waiting for it, and the gate swings free no…
  7. Detached threaded cam lock and mounting washer on a workbench in front of closed mail compartments. — Mailbox Lock Replacement, Toronto
    Mailbox Lock ReplacementThe mail slot on the shop's exterior wall has a small compartment lock that a former employee still has a key to, months after they left. Nobody on staff can say with any confidence who else might hold a copy.
