Locksmith in Clarks CornersOne key
for every door
Houses in Clarks Corners collect locks over the years: a front door from one decade, a side entry from another, a garage door that takes its own key. We rekey them all to a single key so the ring in your pocket finally gets lighter, and set up a spare that lives somewhere sensible. Nearby, we also work in Steeles.

How a visit goes
After a break-in, people want two things: the door secure tonight and a sense that it will not happen again. We deal with the first on the spot, repairing the frame, replacing what was forced and rekeying every lock a stolen key might open.
Step 1 of 5
Call and describe the door
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
On our way
Together we list the doors, then decide who should open everything, who should open a floor and who should open one room. That structure becomes the keying chart.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 58 in 100 homes · older homes
- 23 in 100 homes · mostly attached
- About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Older doors are usually thicker and made of solid wood, which is good news. They take a deadbolt well, hold longer strike screws, and reward reinforcement. The locksmith measures the thickness and backset so new hardware fits without fresh holes.
- Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Suite doors in buildings often have a viewer, a chain and a deadbolt fitted at different times. A locksmith can tidy that into one sound arrangement, with a properly set deadbolt and a strike that holds, without altering the door's face.
Straight answers
We need to open for customers. How do you sequence the visit?
Entry comes first and repairs second. Once authority is confirmed the door is opened, staff go in and start their routine, and the locksmith turns to the cause: extracting a broken key, rekeying for a lost one, re-springing a deadlatch or lifting a dropped door. Anything that can wait for a quieter hour, such as rekeying interior doors, is offered as a return visit so the shop floor is not blocked while it trades.
Do I have to prove I live or work here?
It is a normal part of the visit and it protects you as much as anyone. Photo identification matching the address is the simplest route; a lease, a bill, a management record or a manager or neighbour who can confirm you works as well. For a business, the key holder or the person on the lease is enough. If the documents are behind the jammed door, the check is completed once you are inside, before the locksmith leaves.
My keys were lost with something showing my address. Is rekeying enough?
Rekeying is exactly the right response, because it makes the lost key useless at every door that was pinned. The locksmith will walk the property with you to be sure nothing is missed, including the garage side door, a shed and any padlock the same key opened, and will suggest changing any garage keypad code that was written on the same ring. After that, whoever finds the keys is holding brass that opens nothing on your property.
The key turns all the way round but the bolt stays put. What is wrong?
On a cylinder mortise lock this points to the cylinder rather than the case. The set screw that holds the cylinder in the door has loosened or stripped so the whole cylinder rotates, or the cam on the back of the cylinder has worn or is the wrong shape and no longer catches the bolt lever. Both are fixed by resetting or replacing the cylinder and its set screw, and the case itself is usually fine.
