East York's established core
the streets bordering the Don Valley

East York is compact and residential, with some of Toronto's most consistent housing: rows of 1930s to 1950s brick bungalows and storey-and-a-halfs around Woodbine, Pape and Coxwell, Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park's apartment towers, and Leaside's larger older homes on the western edge. The doors here are often original or close to it, and the locks have been through several owners.

Bungalow streets produce a steady run of old cylindrical locks with worn pins, deadbolts added later that never lined up with the strike, and back doors to the laneway that are the weakest point on the house. We rekey or replace those locks and fix the strike so the bolt throws fully. In the towers of Thorncliffe and Flemingdon, calls are mostly unit lockouts, tenant-change rekeys and mailbox locks.

Shops along Danforth and O'Connor Drive rely on small storefront doors that see heavy use, and we rekey and repair them when hardware wears or a lease changes. Call (647) 975-1702 for East York lockouts, rekeys and lock repair; the price is confirmed before anyone is sent.
