Window Locks & Security Bars in Toronto: local context
Toronto housing runs from century semis in the Annex and Riverdale to condo suites and new laneway houses. Older houses tend to carry original hardware and shifted frames, and condo suites follow building rules on locks and keys. Typical callers: basement apartments, houses and small shops.
What we will and won't do
We confirm that you live at the address or own the property before any work.
Frequently asked questions
Do window locks work on old wooden windows?
Yes, once the frame is solid. Rotted wood needs repair first so screws hold.
Can I put bars on a basement window?
Bedroom windows need to remain usable as an emergency exit, so bars must be removable from inside. We check this before any bars go in.
Can you fix a sliding window that lifts out?
Usually, with a pin or track block that keeps the panel from being lifted.
