Dundas sits in the Dundas Valley at the western tip of Lake Ontario's basin, surrounded by escarpment and conservation land. Its historic King Street West is lined with independent shops, and its residential streets have many older homes.
Older doors, older hardware and owners who care about both define our Dundas work.
Highway 403 west, then Main Street West or Highway 8 into the valley. Dundas is covered by arrangement.
Dundas is outside the GTA core, so we cover it by arrangement. Planned work such as rekeying, lock upgrades and rental keying is the best fit. Our phone line is open 24/7, and for an emergency we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you in reasonable time or whether a local locksmith would be faster.
Victorian and early twentieth-century homes, mid-century houses on the valley slopes, and small commercial buildings downtown.
Many Dundas homes date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and their owners tend to value original doors. When those doors stick or their locks fail, the fix often lies in the door rather than the lock: worn hinges, a frame that has shifted, or wood that swells in the humid valley air. We start there, and only replace hardware when it is genuinely worn out.
Valley humidity makes old wooden doors swell. If a lock only sticks in certain months, the fix is usually adjusting the door or strike rather than replacing the lock.
Yes, by arrangement.
Wood swells with humidity and pushes the latch out of line. Adjusting the strike or planing the door usually solves it.
Yes: older storefront doors, closers and cylinders.
We adjust hinges and strikes and can advise when a door needs planing or carpentry.
Yes, by arrangement.
