Bayshore, ON's housing runs a real mix — townhouses, low-rise condos, and detached homes, often with higher turnover than a typical established neighbourhood. Tenants move, units get resold, and the question of who actually has a working key tends to come up more often here than somewhere with longer-term ownership.
What We Actually Do
Fit new locks where a door has none, or replace hardware that's had its run. Repair a lock that's grown stubborn or inconsistent. Rekey, resetting access while your current hardware stays exactly where it is. Move to a smart lock or a stronger deadbolt. Extract a key that's broken off inside a stuck cylinder. Take a general look at your locks if that's genuinely what's needed.
A Note for Condo and Townhouse Residents
If your unit is part of a building with its own hardware policies, mention that when booking. Some buildings tie certain lock types to master-key or fob-integrated systems, and it's worth confirming compatibility before work starts.
What Tends to Bring People to Call
Moving into a resale townhouse or condo, where there's no way to know how many keys a previous owner or tenant had in circulation. A lock that's become difficult to turn. A key that's snapped inside the cylinder. A tenant moving out. Interest in a smart lock.
How We Figure Out What You Need
We assess the specific hardware rather than assuming the most expensive fix applies. Functional locks generally just need a rekey to solve the real concern about access. Genuinely worn-out hardware gets an honest recommendation to replace it.
The Short Version
Sticking but sound: repair. Working but access needs resetting: rekey. Genuinely worn or broken: replace. Nothing installed: fresh lock.
Why a Professional Beats DIY Here
A rushed rekey or installation tends to surface as a problem later, not immediately. Getting it right the first time avoids a second visit.
