Residential Locksmith questions in Kensington Market

Answers about residential locksmith visits in Kensington Market, Downtown Toronto.

Can an old Kensington Market door with a skeleton-key lock be made secure without replacing the door?

Usually yes. We can add a modern deadbolt above the original mortise lock, or sometimes fit a new mortise lock body into the same pocket. The frame matters as much as the lock, so we check that the strike is screwed into solid wood and not just old trim.

Can you rekey my locks in Kensington Market the same day?

Often, yes. It depends on how busy dispatch is and what locks you have. Call (647) 367-8113 and we'll give you a realistic time.

Rekey or new locks: which do I need in Kensington Market?

Rekey if your locks work well and you only want the old keys to stop working. Replace them if they're worn or damaged, or if you want a different style or a smart lock.

Do you work on both homes and shops in Kensington Market?

Yes. The same technician can handle a house or apartment lockout, a rekey or a storefront lock. Tell dispatch what kind of door it is so we bring the right parts.
