This past Wednesday, it was #serviceStarShoutout day. Just like Valentine's Day, showing your love…read moreand appreciation shouldn't just be done on a single day, but more consistently throughout the year. However, when it comes to some services, you hope that you don't show daily love, though, or it's a sign that something that shouldn't be serviced so often is likely broken! My shoutout is for Custom Door & Lock Service. I don't recall whether it has always had this name over the years. However, the lock and key services that it provides have been there all my life. The business is located on the northeast corner of Kingston Road and Victoria Park Avenue in the Beaches. Well, these days, it would be considered the upper Beaches, but that sounds snooty to me. Beachers aren't like that! It is located next door to Pizza Pizza, which has also always been there all my life. The high school that I attended was blocks away. I have fond memories after a music night at the school of coming here with my parents to grab a pizza before heading home to eat it after my performance. Ah, good times! My tastebuds weren't that sophisticated back then, but I loved it. Custom Door & Lock Service was our place to get keys cut. When we lived in the Beaches, we needed keys to our apartment and the mailbox downstairs. A few years later, a door lock was installed on the main door, so we needed additional keys. My dad had all our keys made here. We never had an issue with them not working. The folks here have always been courteous and helpful when my dad needed keys. I remember coming in with him to get keys done. They cut them right on the spot. I loved watching them cut them, which still makes me happy when I see keys being cut anywhere. This place continues to offer after-hours lock and key support. If you accidentally lock yourself out of your home, they provide emergency services to get you back in your own home. Luckily, we have never had to use them, but it's peace of mind knowing that they are available. This place is still closed on weekends. If you can wait for getting new keys on Monday, you're good. Parking is limited. I recommend parking on either Kingston Road or a side street. There are a few spots behind Pizza Pizza. Alternatively, there's a parking lot across the street where there are more retail businesses. I often drive along Kingston Road to head downtown and pass by this store. I'm glad that it has endured over the decades, which shows how important it is to the Beaches and the quality of its services. (281)

This guys did an a-ok job on a door for me recently…read more The door was sticking and the door knob and deadbolt were pretty tired too. I found them by searching on the web. Gave them a call and explained what I needed so they asked me to send some pics of the issues. I got them done right away and sent them in email. I heard back within a couple of hours. Very prompt and friendly! I then stopped by the next day and picked up a nice looking lockset and talked with the tech there about when they could come for installation. We arranged a time for them to come - they were on time and did a great job! No more sticky door and a wonderful lock and door that closes and locks properly. Totally recommend them.

I asked for a quote to replace my current door lock with a smart lock. We agreed on the price so…read morethe technician came to install the lock. He left after installation saying that he is not responsible for setting up. So I was doing it myself. But I had trouble calibrating the lock because the hole in the frame was not big enough so the dead bolt keeps getting stuck in it every time I tried to calibrate the lock. The technician should have known that before he left and if not than he is not qualified to do his job. So he left knowing that I am going to have trouble when I try to calibrate the lock after he left. So I called him He came again next day but asked for more money to fix it. He said that he need to do some fabrication on the frame and it will cost me another 50$. At first I disagreed so he left without doing anything. Now I am stuck with a door without a fully functional door lock. I will have to ask someone else to come and finish the job and of course pay him again. I finally agreed to pay the additional amount to get the job done since I was kind of in a hostage situation with a non functional door lock on my front door. They agreed to send a technician but nobody showed up. So I end up with a unfinished job in spite of paying the agreed amount and also willing to pay more five days after the job was started. Finally I called another locksmith and he did the job for $25. It took him less than 10 mins to finish the job. I hope this review will help someone from not getting in a situation that I am today

I wanted to install better outside door deadbolts on my new house. After some web research, I…read moredecided that the Mul-t-lock brand that I had at my old house, was what I wanted at my new house. There are a limited number of locksmiths in the GTA that deal with this brand. Although I had three excellent quotes, I decided to go with Dr Locksmith for several reasons: he had extensive experience, he had thorough knowledge of his product, and his prices were reasonable - not the cheapest, but good value. Moni is the owner of Dr Locksmith. During the quote process, I asked many questions and he replied with thorough and clear answers. In addition, he was aware of the gaps in my knowledge, and even answered questions I should have asked, but did not know enough to ask. That impressed me. For example, I did not know that there were several options for key material - not just the standard plastic key. He normally included the more expensive, all-metal keys in his quotes. When he mentioned this, I was thrilled to have the all-metal option. When he arrived and started working, he offered to have me watch. I was very interested. As he worked, he explained what he was doing and how the key features worked. It was fascinating. He had pride in his work. He was meticulous. His eagerness to share his knowledge was wonderful. At my old house the locks were always stiff in winter. I assumed they would be the same at my new house. But over more than four seasons since installation, my new locks are as easy to turn in winter, as they are in summer. I am thrilled with my new locks and with the service provided by Moni. After my job was complete and we were talking, he had a phone call for a locksmith emergency. He apologized to me and rushed off to help his client. Not only did I get an excellent installation, but I now have a trusted solution for any future locksmith emergencies. Moni earned more than a 5 out of 5 stars.
