Broken Lock Repair in Toronto: local context

In Toronto the same job can look very different in a Leslieville rowhouse, a Yonge Street condo and a Scarborough bungalow. We ask about the building first, because access and rules differ so much. Typical callers: homeowners, renters and shops.

What we will and won't do

We check ID linking you to the address before we open, change or copy anything.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fix a lock that was forced?

Yes. We repair the door edge and fit a new lock or cylinder.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace?

For an old, cheap lock, replacement is often the better value. For a good lock with one worn part, repair makes sense.

Why does my lock stick in winter?

Cold and moisture cause stiffness. A dry lubricant helps. If it persists, the lock may be worn.
