Etobicoke stretches from the lake to the airport, and it behaves like three different places. Along the shore, Humber Bay Shores, Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch mix new condo towers with older lakeside houses. In the middle, The Kingsway and Islington Village are established residential streets. To the north, Rexdale and the Highway 27 corridor are full of industrial units, warehouses and plazas.
Our work in Etobicoke follows that pattern: condo lockouts by the lake, careful work on older homes in the centre, and commercial locks, padlocks and dock doors in the north.
The lakeshore is reached by the Gardiner, the centre by Bloor Street West, and the north by Highway 401 to the 427. Gardiner and 427 congestion is the main variable.
Etobicoke is part of our core Toronto coverage. We operate 24/7, and the dispatcher gives you an arrival window based on where the nearest technician is when you call.
The Humber Bay Shores towers are some of the newest condos in the city, with fob-controlled everything and building-managed mailboxes. The Kingsway is known for 1930s Tudor-revival homes with solid wood doors and original hardware that owners want to keep. The industrial areas around Rexdale and the airport have steel doors, overhead doors with padlocked tracks, panic bars and master-keyed tenant units in multi-tenant buildings.
For older homes, we try to rekey or repair original hardware before recommending replacement, because matching a 1930s door is harder than it sounds. For industrial units, tell us whether the landlord's master key must keep working after the change; a rekey can keep the landlord's access while removing former tenants'.
In many cases, yes. Original mortise locks can often be cleaned, repaired and rekeyed. If a part is unavailable, we explain replacement options that fit the existing door without major alteration.
Yes: steel doors, panic bars, closers, padlocks and master-key systems for multi-tenant buildings.
Yes. A master-keyed rekey lets the landlord's key keep working while the previous tenant's keys stop.
Yes. Sliding balcony doors often stop locking because the rollers have worn or the door has dropped in its track. We check the rollers and alignment before replacing the latch.
Yes. We can rekey individual units while keeping a landlord master key working, so tenants change without the landlord losing access.
