Toronto Locksmith Answering Questions
Below are only few of the questions we answered over the years:
Q: Why should I make sure that I hire a professional locksmith?
A: A professional locksmith can give you qualified advice and recommendations regarding security solutions (both physical and electronic) for your home or business.
Q: My wood door is hard to lock, I have to exert a lot of force to get it locked. What’s the problem?
A: Buildings tend to shift and settle. Wood has a tendency to expand during humid weather and contract during dry weather. This all affects alignment of the hardware on your door. Our expert staff can determine a remedy that best suits your specific situation.
Q: My key is difficult to turn, should I force the key until it turns?
A: Exerting force will likely break the key off in your lock. It sounds like the key you are using has gone out of manufacturer’s specifications due to excessive wear. Your best course of action is to call our professional locksmith to help deal with this situation.
Q: How do I know if the lock on my door is Master Keyed?
A: The only way to know for sure is to have our professional locksmith disassemble the lock in question. Most apartment buildings are Master Keyed out of convenience to the landlord or property owner. In the event of an emergency only one key is required to enter any suite in the building. The problem that exists is that up to 32 different keys could operate a Master Keyed lock. We recommend adding a second deadbolt to your apartment door that operates with only one key.
Q: What is a Laser Cut key?
A: Contrary to its name, lasers are not used to cut these keys. This term refers to keys with the milling on the side rather than on the top and bottom. For years, only high-end manufacturers like Mercedes and BMW used this style of higher security. These days however, a good number of vehicles including Honda, GM, VW, Lexus, Infinity, Volvo, Saab, Audi and many more use them. Getting a copy of one of these keys can sometimes be very difficult. Getting a key replaced when there are no keys, can even be a nightmare. That is of course if you don’t call us. We have the ability and equipment to copy, or even generate a new one of these “laser cut” keys. To sweeten the deal, we come to you! No driving, no waiting rooms, no hassle.
