Woodbridge, in the south-west of Vaughan, is known for its historic core along Woodbridge Avenue and for streets of large detached family homes built from the 1980s onward. Commercial plazas line Highway 7 and Weston Road, and industrial areas border Highway 27 and the 427.
Homes here tend to have more doors than average: a grand front entry, a garage man-door, a side entrance, patio doors and often a separate basement entrance. Securing a Woodbridge house is usually about getting all of those onto a sensible key plan.
We come up Highway 400 to Highway 7, or up the 427 for the western side. The 400/407 interchange is the usual bottleneck.
Woodbridge is within our regular GTA mobile coverage. We operate 24/7; because technicians travel from Toronto, the arrival window depends on where the nearest one is and on traffic, and the dispatcher tells you honestly before anyone is sent.
Large custom and semi-custom homes with double front doors, decorative handle sets, multipoint locks on French and patio doors, and attached garages with an interior door into the house. Many owners have added cameras and smart locks over the years. The commercial plazas and industrial units follow the same pattern as Concord and Vaughan: glass fronts, steel rear doors, and overhead doors.
The door from the garage into the house is often the weakest point on a large home, because it is treated as an interior door. If your garage opener is ever lost or the garage is broken into, that door should have a proper deadbolt. Double front doors need attention to the inactive leaf's flush bolts, not just the main lock.
In most cases, yes, provided the locks share a compatible keyway. If one lock is a different brand, we can often replace just its cylinder.
The inactive door is usually held by flush bolts at the top and bottom. If those are worn or misaligned, the whole pair is weaker. We check them along with the main lock.
Yes. Restricted keyways mean keys can only be copied with authorization, which is useful for homes with many people coming and going.
Often, yes, on the active door, provided the door's lock prep suits the smart lock. The inactive leaf still relies on flush bolts, which we check at the same time.
Yes. That door should have a proper deadbolt, because a garage opener or side door is an easy way into the garage.
