In Toronto we have 20 locksmith shops and hundreds of locksmith websites. It is a good idea to stop by one of these shops and get to know the locksmiths in your area.
Locksmith shops are the best place to make copies of keys that actually work. Locksmiths often calibrate their key copy machines to ensure an accurate copy because they make copies of keys for their own work as well as for you, the customer.
If you do an internet search for locksmiths or check the Yellow Pages you will find hundreds of listings for locksmiths in Toronto. You will have to look really hard to find one of the 20 real locksmiths. Often there are no addresses or false addresses in these ads.
We want to help you avoid the scam artists out there. We posted a website called TorontoLockShop.com where you can get the contact information for all the locksmith shops in Toronto.
The association of Ontario Locksmiths also has a locksmith finder service. Call 416-321-2219 to check on a locksmith before you hire one.
Spadina Security is a locksmith operating in Toronto. We have two locations where you can walk in and speak to a real human being.
