North York: plan for the building
In North York, the building often matters as much as the lock.
Towers and concierge
- Yonge-Sheppard and Yonge-Finch towers have concierge desks, key rooms and rules about outside contractors.
- Underground parking, height limits and visitor time limits affect a technician arriving with equipment.
- Suite doors may be fire-rated; hardware changes must respect that.
Houses and townhouses
- Willowdale, Don Mills and Bayview Village have older homes with worn hardware and newer infill with modern locks.
- Townhouse complexes may have board rules on hardware finishes.
Business strips
- Plazas along Finch, Sheppard and Steeles.
- Offices near the 401 and Don Mills.
A 15 km run west from the office
North York is about fifteen kilometres from our Scarborough office. Most trips run along Highway 401 or Sheppard Avenue, so traffic decides the window more than distance does. Willowdale, Don Mills and the Yonge Street corridor are reached fastest outside rush hour.
Towers, houses and offices
Yonge and Sheppard, Yonge and Finch and the Don Mills area are full of condo towers with concierge desks and fob systems, so it helps to tell the desk a locksmith is coming. Bayview Village and Willowdale have detached homes where frames and strikes are usually the weak point, and the office parks near the 401 use closers, panic bars and card readers.
