Residential Locksmith in Toronto: the short version

Apna Locksmith looks after home locks in Toronto: lockouts, new locks after a move, worn deadbolts, keypads and smart locks. Tell us what the door is doing and we will say what it needs.

Century homes, laneway suites and condos

Toronto homes include century houses in the Annex and Cabbagetown, Victorian rowhouses, laneway suites and high-rise condos. Older doors and frames vary a lot, and mortise locks from another era turn up regularly. Condo owners must follow building rules on locks, and fobs are often controlled by management. We rekey, replace deadbolts and fit smart locks where the building allows. Toronto is a drive from Brampton, so visits are booked ahead.

Places we go in Toronto

We regularly visit Downtown Core, King West, Kensington Market, Leslieville and The Annex in Toronto.

Housing and locks in Toronto

Homes in Toronto range across century homes in the Annex and Cabbagetown, Victorian rowhouses, laneway suites and high-rise condos, so no two lock jobs are quite the same. Condo suites, century houses and laneway units all need different approaches, and building rules often decide what lock can go in.

Common home jobs

  • Fitting a keypad or smart lock, with separate codes for family and guests
  • Steel strike plates and long screws after a break-in attempt
  • A lockbox for the cleaner, the dog walker or the in-laws

To help us help you

  • If the lock is old but working, ask about rekeying instead of replacing.
  • Tell us if a suite, garage or shed shares the main door lock.

Residential Locksmith questions for Toronto

Can you rekey a lock on a Toronto century home?

Often yes, including many older mortise and rim locks. We look at the lock first and say whether a rekey, a repair or a replacement makes sense.

Is it worth rekeying after buying a house in Toronto?

Yes. You cannot know who has copies of the old keys, so rekeying is a sensible first step.
