Lock repair & replacement
When a lock stops working right.
Lock repair and replacement for homes and businesses in Etobicoke — sticking or damaged locks, worn cylinders, broken keys and replacement hardware. A lock that is hard to turn is not always ready for the bin: misalignment between the lock, door and frame can affect how it works, and replacement is not automatically required.
What we can help with.
A lock sticks or is hard to turn
The key goes in but will not turn smoothly, or only works with effort. This can be a worn cylinder, internal damage, or misalignment rather than a lock that needs replacing.
A key has broken off in the lock
A snapped key leaves a piece inside the cylinder. We can discuss extracting it and checking whether the lock still works.
The lock is damaged or worn out
Visible damage, a loose cylinder, or a lock that no longer latches reliably. We can assess whether repair or replacement is the better call.
The door and frame are out of alignment
A door that has dropped or shifted can stop the bolt or latch from lining up, so the lock feels faulty even when the lock itself is fine.
You want to replace old hardware
You are updating hardware for reliability, appearance or security. We can discuss a suitable replacement for the door.
