Locksmith in central Montréal

Central Montréal is a city of plexes, and plexes are where locksmith calls get interesting. A 1920s Plateau triplex has an outside door shared by three households, an inside door per unit, a back door onto the balcony stairs, and often a mortise lock that nobody makes parts for any more. When one tenant loses a key, the question is never just open the door. It is who else holds a copy of the shared entrance, and whether the landlord wants that entrance rekeyed too. We carry mortise cylinders and adapter plates for old doors so an antique lock can be rekeyed instead of ripped out, and we know the July 1 moving-day rush well enough to book rekeys the week before, not the day of. Downtown condos are the other half of the work: fobs, mailbox locks, and the unit deadbolt the syndicate insists must stay on its master system.
