Edgeley Lock & Key Co. · Vaughan
Commercial-Grade Lock Replacement: before you call
Locksmith · Vaughan, Ontario
An inspection report flagged the rear exit as needing hardware that opens with one motion and no key, and that door currently has an ordinary keyed knob on the inside.
Worth answering before the call
What kind of door is it: solid, hollow-metal, wood, or aluminum storefront? How many keys will need to be cut and issued? Do other doors on the property share a key with this one?
Do you replace hardware after an attempted break-in even if the door still locks?
Yes, and it is worth having it checked even when the door still appears to function. A cylinder that was drilled at, pried or struck can be weakened internally without showing it externally, and a bent strike or a cracked frame around the lock can let a door appear locked while offering far less resistance than it should.
How does this service differ from a home lockout or residential rekey?
A home lockout or residential rekey is usually about one door and one household's keys. Commercial-grade lock replacement more often involves a system, several doors, a master key structure, and sometimes a fire or exit rule the door has to satisfy, so the assessment, the hardware selected and the record kept at the end are all built around managing that wider structure rather than a single lock.
