Residential Locksmith in Scarborough
A home lock problem in Scarborough usually means a locked-out family or a door that has stopped closing. We deal with both, and we explain what is needed before starting.
What to check on a Scarborough house before you call
Postwar bungalows and semis across Agincourt, Wexford and Birch Cliff share a few weak points. The strike plate is often fixed with short screws, the deadbolt sits in a thin door edge and the back door gets less care than the front. Homes near the Bluffs add salt and wind to the mix. Start with the screws, then the door edge, then the latch alignment. We are at Unit 29, 5310 Finch Avenue East, so bring a photo or drop in and we will tell you what to change.

Homes and locks in Scarborough
Between Scarborough Centre towers and Kennedy Road apartments and the streets off Kingston Road, Scarborough has a wide mix of doors. Older and newer homes sit side by side in Scarborough, so the lock that suits one street may not suit the next.
Good to know

Common questions
- Which screws matter most when I strengthen a Scarborough front door? The ones in the strike plate. Replacing short screws with 75 mm ones that reach the framing is one of the cheapest security upgrades available.
- Can you fix a door that will not latch? Usually. We adjust the strike, hinges or frame, and replace the latch if it is worn.
