Shop and studio doors in Mount Pleasant

Small businesses change hands often. Locks tend to stay the same.

Main Street and East Broadway are lined with small shops, cafes and studios, many in older buildings. A lease changes hands, and the keys from the last tenant are still out there.

New tenant, old keys

A rekey on the front and back doors means former staff, landlords and tenants no longer hold a working key.

Back and side doors

The door onto the lane takes the most wear and gets the least attention. A bent latch or a loose deadbolt is worth fixing before it becomes a break-in. See door repair.

Several staff, several keys

When more than a few people need different access, a master key system keeps it controlled without a ring of keys.

Locked out of the shop

We open the door and check who you are first. See commercial locksmith.

► 02 / Houses

Heritage houses and basement suites

Away from the main streets, Mount Pleasant has older wood-frame houses, many with a basement or garden suite. That means one building and more than one front door.

Original hardware

Older front doors may carry mortise locks or worn knob sets. We look at the lock first and say whether it can be kept, rekeyed or replaced. See residential locksmith.

Suite turnover

A landlord with a basement suite rekeys when a tenant leaves, so the old key stops working and the hardware stays on the door.

Doors that have shifted

Old frames move with the seasons. When a lock will not line up, the fix is often the door, not the lock.

► 03 / Strata

Newer strata buildings near Broadway and Main

In the newer buildings near Broadway and Main, the door to your home is the part we work on. Shared doors are run by the strata.

We do

  • Open or rekey the door to your home
  • Change your deadbolt
  • Fit a keypad lock, where your strata allows it

Your strata or property manager

  • Street entry, bike room and parkade doors
  • Building fobs. We never copy or program them.

Check your bylaws before changing the look of a suite door.

Keypad locks

See smart lock installation for what can be fitted.

How much is a locksmith in Mount Pleasant?

► On the job

Mount Pleasant shop door rekey and door repair

Two jobs we see in this part of the city.

01

Rekey a shop after a lease change

We rekey the cylinders on the front and back doors, so keys held by the last tenant or staff stop working. New keys go to the new owner.

The hardware stays on the door, so it usually costs less than replacing every lock.

02

An old door that will not latch

When the bolt no longer meets the strike plate, the lock gets blamed. Often the door has shifted. We adjust the plate or reset the hinges first.

Once the door closes square, the original lock usually works again.

► 05 / Questions

Mount Pleasant locksmith questions

More on the FAQ page.

01

I run a shop on Main Street. Can you rekey after I take over the lease?

Yes. We rekey the front and back doors so earlier keys stop working. For several staff with different access, ask about a master key system. The total is confirmed on the call.

02

Should I rekey or replace the locks on a heritage house?

If the old hardware still works, a rekey is the first step. If the lock is worn through, we replace it. We tell you which before any work starts.

03

How much is a shop lockout in Mount Pleasant?

It depends on the door, the lock and the hour. The total for your shop is confirmed on the call. See locksmith prices.

04

Can you fix a sticking door on an older rental?

Yes. A door that drags or will not latch is often a shifted frame or a strike plate that needs moving. See door repair.

05

Can you copy the fob for my building near Main?

No. The fob and parkade key belong to your strata or property manager, and we never copy or program building fobs. A copy of your own house or suite key is no problem. See key cutting.

06

Can I put a keypad lock on my strata suite?

Often, if your strata bylaws allow it. Check first, then see smart lock installation.
