Businesses in Rexdale and industrial Etobicoke depend on doors that work quickly and reliably. A short checklist helps catch problems early.
Keys
- Do you know who has each key?
- Have you rekeyed since staff turnover?
- Are keys marked “do not duplicate”? That only helps if you also use restricted blanks.
Doors
- Does each door close and latch by itself?
- Do the hinges look tight?
- Is the frame solid?
- Do exit devices release under light pressure?
Locks
- Do keys turn smoothly?
- Is any cylinder worn or sticky?
- Is there a backup way in if a lock fails?
After-hours
- Do you have a plan for staff who arrive early or leave late?
- If you use a lockbox, who has the code?
- Would a keypad or card reader be safer?
Fire and safety
- Are exits clear?
- Are exit doors free of chains or blocks?
- Are fire-rated doors intact?
Records
Write down what you find, what you fix and when.
Help

Walk the premises at closing
Check the front and rear doors, the loading bay and any side entrance. Confirm that latches engage and closers pull the doors fully shut.
Key and access control
Keep a list of who holds keys and codes. Change codes when staff leave. If you share a building with other tenants, check who controls common doors.
