From the shop
German Mills Locksmith Co.
For businesses that want more than a key, we keep access hardware simple. Keypads, card readers and electronic strikes each solve a particular problem, and we start by asking which problem you have. Staff turnover points toward codes that can be changed without a locksmith visit. Deliveries at odd hours point toward a controlled door with a record of who came through. We fit what fits, explain how to manage it yourself, and stay reachable when you want to change something. Mechanical locks still matter in these systems, and we make sure the two work together rather than leaving you with a clever reader on a door that does not close properly.

How a visit goes
For landlords and tenants, rekeying is the tidy way to handle a change of occupancy. A departing tenant may have copied a key or simply forgotten to return one, and a fresh pinning means the incoming tenant is the only person holding a working key.

Assessing the gate and weather
Outdoor locks live a harder life. We check the gate alignment, the exposure to rain and freezing, and how it is used before recommending hardware.

Fitting weather-ready hardware
We install hardware built for the outdoors, align it with the latch and treat the mechanism so it keeps turning through winter.

Explaining care through the seasons
You get a short rundown on lubricating and checking the lock as the seasons change, so it keeps working year after year.

2021 census · what it means at the door
58%Older homes
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.
23%
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.
