Zephyr is a rural hamlet in the north of Uxbridge township, in Durham Region. Until 1974 it was part of Scott Township, along with Udora, Leaskdale and Sandford. It is a small community, a few hundred people, surrounded by working farms and country homes. GTA Lockman Mobile Locksmith Services works on houses, farm buildings, workshops and vehicles in and around Zephyr.
Zephyr is well outside the core GTA. Call with the property address and the job, and we will confirm when a technician can attend.
A working farm can have more locks than a small office: the house, the barns, the drive shed, the workshop, the feed and tack rooms, fuel storage, gates and machinery. Over the years each one picks up its own key, and spares end up on nails inside the doors they open.
A simple key plan helps:
Padlocks and outbuilding cylinders can be supplied or rekeyed to fit that plan. See shed, garage and outbuilding padlocks and keyed alike or keyed different.
Gates on country properties take a beating: weather, livestock and vehicles. Chain-and-padlock arrangements are common, and the weak point is usually the chain or the post fixing rather than the padlock. A lock suited to the gate's movement, with a hardened shackle and a fixing that cannot simply be unbolted, lasts longer. If deliveries, vets or farriers need access, a combination padlock or a key safe at the gate avoids handing out keys.
Workshops and machine sheds often hold tools and equipment worth more than anything in the house, behind a door with a basic knob lock. Fit a deadbolt to the man door, make sure the frame will hold it, and secure overhead doors from inside with slide bolts or padlocks. See garage side door locks and warehouse and loading dock doors, which applies to larger farm buildings too.
Equestrian properties around Uxbridge often have tack rooms and feed rooms with valuable saddles and equipment. A solid door with a deadbolt, rather than a hasp and padlock alone, is worth considering for the tack room. Barn aisle doors and paddock gates have their own needs, which we assess on site.
Houses in Zephyr range from older farmhouses to newer homes on country lots. Older houses usually need the everyday side or back door brought up to a proper deadbolt, and doors that have settled adjusted so they latch. Newer homes typically need builder keys retired by rekeying and a solid lock on the garage-entry door. See lock changes in Toronto and the GTA and house lockout service.
Exterior padlocks, gate locks and barn door locks freeze through the winter. A dry lubricant applied in autumn, padlocks with shackle covers, and a lock de-icer kept in the vehicle rather than the barn all help. Avoid hot water and oil. See frozen or stiff door locks in winter.
Car and truck keys, fobs and lockouts are handled at the vehicle. Tell us the make, model, year and VIN so we can confirm the key type before the visit. See car key replacement.
Give us clear directions, the gate arrangement, where to park, and whether dogs or livestock are loose. For a lockout, have identification and proof that you live at or are responsible for the property.
We also work in Uxbridge, Udora and Stouffville. See all service locations.
