Oshawa's housing still reflects its auto-industry history. The streets around the downtown core and near the old GM plant are full of wartime and postwar storey-and-a-half homes and brick bungalows, many now rentals or student housing near Ontario Tech and Durham College in the north end. North Oshawa and the Windfields area are newer subdivisions.
That mix means lots of rekeying between tenants and a steady stream of worn, mismatched locks.
Landlords and property managers are a big part of Oshawa work: rekeying after a tenancy ends, keying a house split into units so each tenant has their own key plus a common front door, and replacing knob locks that have been forced. We document which keys open which doors so the next turnover is simpler. In newer north-end homes, the usual calls are move-in rekeys and smart-lock problems.
Commercial and light-industrial units along Simcoe Street, King Street and the industrial parks need storefront cylinders, padlocks for yards and the occasional panic-bar repair. Call (647) 975-1702 for Oshawa lockouts, rekeys and commercial lock work; the price is confirmed before dispatch.
