From the shop
Fairbank Lock Experts
Nobody should have to take a locksmith's word on faith, so we build every visit around choices you can see. Two cylinders side by side, one basic and one with better pick resistance. A rekey versus a full replacement, with the trade-offs said out loud. A traditional car key against a fob, and what each means day to day. We give you our honest opinion when asked, and then we step back. The lock is going on your door, the key is going in your pocket, and the decision belongs to you. That, more than any particular piece of hardware, is what we want you to remember about the visit.
— Fairbank Lock Experts
- A straight assessmentIf the lock is fine and the door just needs adjusting, we say so. If it has reached the end of its life, we say that too, and show you why.
- Options laid out side by sideRepair, rekey, replace or upgrade, with what each involves and what it changes. You pick; we do not steer you toward the biggest job.
- Finished, not nearly finishedEvery key tested in every lock, every screw tight, every strike aligned, and the packaging in our van rather than your bin.

How a visit goes
Businesses are locked out by people as often as by hardware. A keyholder is away, a former employee still has a key, a master key has gone missing, or the only spare lives in a drawer behind the locked door.

Verifying the caller
We ask for something that ties you to the premises: a lease, business card, or a call to the owner. Opening a shop for the wrong person is not a risk we take.

Getting the door open
Storefront and office locks vary, so we choose the approach that leaves the hardware intact wherever possible. If the lock itself has failed, we tell you before opening it.

Getting you back to trading
Once inside we check the lock, cut keys if needed and note anything that should be addressed later so your day can carry on.

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.
Where housing is mostly older, many entries still have only a knob lock and no deadbolt at all. Adding one is a straightforward job on a solid wood door, and it is the single upgrade that changes most for a house of this kind.
23%
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
In buildings, the suite door often has a closer and a heavy frame, and the deadbolt sits in a metal or metal-clad door. A locksmith fitting or rekeying one brings the tools and cylinders that suit that construction rather than a wooden house door.
