Burglarized Entry Door Scarborough 

Complete Door and Frame Replacement for Burglarized Entry Door in Scarborough

Burglarized Entry Door Scarborough, yesterday evening we received a service call from a frantic client whose home was burglarized, in Scarborough, through the front door. First with the fear and violation of being burglarized and then the stress of having to deal with the authorities, replacing a door should be simple and stress-free. Thankfully our certified entry door technicians were able to come right away with a new door, frame and hardware to replace the entryway for our client. Giving them peace of mind that they will be able to sleep soundly, knowing their family is safe with a new door. 

WE CAN INSTALL A NEW DOOR FOR YOU TODAY. CALL US ON 647-955-5637 

Most Canadian doors are softwood / chipboard as you can see in the pictures above. As our doors are solid wood all the way through with 3 high security locks, securing the door in 3 places leaving no vulnerable attack point on the door, with the added security of 2 reinforcement strips, steel butt hinges and pair of hinge bolts, you are getting a much stronger door than before.
We have been installing this door for over 22 years not only after a burglary but as a security upgrade.
We can customize the design and include customized door furniture, plus we offer the security of three locks.

OUR SOLID CORE WOODEN SECURITY DOOR THAT HAS PROVEN TO KEEP BURGLARS OUT

We can match the look of your original door by installing beading to give the impression of panels, while retaining the strength of an integral solid-core hardwood door replacement, rather than the structural compromise of building a weaker door with thinner inset panels.
We can customize the design and include customized door furniture, plus we offer the security of three locks.

Your Door Might Need Repairing

Your Door Might Need Repairing, For many businesses, their industrial site is a central hub of activity where their headquarters are located. Functionality is key when it comes to your business premises and there are many things you can do to ensure a smooth and safe running of day to day business. Doors are particularly important, designed to keep the elements at bay, and provide security for your business, your stock and more importantly for your staff, so for them to be in constant, sufficient working order is imperative.

Whichever doors your business relies on – industrial sliding doors, roller shutters or sectional doors, here are some things to consider that may help you establish if they are in need of repair or maintenance: Your Door Might Need Repairing

What material are they made from?

Most industrial doors are made from steel or UPVC, but if you have wooden doors you will need to pay extra attention to their condition and watch for signs of decay. If your doors are metal, then regularly oiling of the mechanical systems that operate them will keep the action smooth and prevent any seizing, particularly in cold weather. Your doors not only welcome customers in but they are keep intruders out, and their robustness is essential in keeping your premises secure, especially overnight.

Are your doors manual or automatic?

If your doors are automatic or have electronic actions e.g. remote locking, then you must ensure that back up remote locks are available in case one fails, and complete regular electronic safety tests to ensure their smooth operation. Doors with mechanical actions such as rolling grilles must be kept clean and oiled to prevent the mechanisms from rusting or seizing, thus preventing ease of use and compromising security. If you doors are spring-loaded you need to be especially careful as if one of the springs in the pair fails then the spring tension will be lost and the door will not hold steady when lifted. This is a safety hazard to members of staff and customers, so this must be regularly checked and if any wear is noticed replace both springs immediately.

Do your doors make a noise on opening?

If your doors make any unusual noises on opening/closing, such as squeaks, clicks or a stiff / juddering motion these are sure signs that your doors need attention.  This is especially true of automatic doors if they are not operating smoothly or if they are being temperamental. You must address this right away to prevent the door system failing completely thus compromising security and fire safety. Any unusual noises that start suddenly could indicate a fault so get them assessed by an expert right away.

Is your door balanced?

After continual, extensive use your door can begin to fall off balance due to the wear and tear of part of the mechanical structure. This will result in a heavy door that fails to open and close properly and can even cause problems when locking. If an imbalanced door is not repaired promptly it can result in a full door replacement being required.

Are your doors damaged/dented?

Industrial doors are hard wearing and built to sustain heavy workloads, however if they sustain any damage they must be repaired straight away. A panel that has been dented or misshapen is very easy to fix at minimal cost, but more complex industrial doors, particularly those with mechanical or electrical action will require specialized attention. The repair costs will far outweigh the costs of having to replace stock or repair vandal damage if your site is broken into. By also keeping a watchful eye on the condition and operation of your doors they will provide with years of use and uncompromising security for your building.
If you are in any doubt at all about the condition of your industrial doors, Toronto Door Repair provide an industrial door maintenance service and 24 hour repairs. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more details.

Appliance Repair Tips Toronto

Fast Appliance Repair 866-298-9322

Appliance Repair Tips Toronto

Appliance repairs often strike at the most inopportune times. Unfortunately, they can leave a gaping wound in your budget, if you don’t plan for them. Here are a few ideas and tips to consider, that will help ease your next appliance repair problem.

Before You Do It Yourself

Make sure the appliance isn’t covered by a service agreement or warranty. If it’s still covered under warranty, you will need to find out how to use the warranty properly. First call the company offering the warranty and ask them for clarification on using the warranty properly (DO NOT void the warranty by trying to fix the appliance yourself). After that, your next step is to contact (or take) the appliance to an appropriate maintenance or service company. Have them do the repairs under the protective cover of your warranty. Also, you should make sure you are properly reimbursed for all charges after having your appliance repaired.

 

Do It Yourself

If there is no warranty or coverage on your appliance, your next step is to track down the owner’s manual, and try and make the repair yourself. You shouldn’t repair an appliance without having the service manual with you. When the manual or warranty isn’t an option, your next choice will be to look under the lid, or inside of the appliance, and find the basic instruction guidelines. Most appliances have a small set of operating instructions, printed on the appliance somewhere, which MIGHT help you solve your problem. For most of us, though, these steps probably won’t be enough.

 

Finding an Appliance Repair Service Company

If you aren’t able to make the repairs yourself quickly and easily, then you will need to find an appliance repair service to do the job right, and get your appliance working again. There are several ways you can find an appliance repair company in your area. You can…

• Hunt down and dust off that huge yellow pages book, lying somewhere in the dark, outer recesses of your home.
• Ask a friend or family member who they use for their appliance repairs
• Visit an online directory, like Yahoo’s ™ yellow pages
• If you’d like input from an independent source, on reliable local appliance repair companies, call a major real estate firm (in your area) and ask who they use for their appliance repairs.

 

Appliance Repair Services

A majority of repair companies have technicians available who can repair most household appliances. Major appliance repair companies will typically make service calls to your home. Small appliances often get repaired at the local repair shop, instead of at your home. If it’s a small appliance, you want to make sure they offer repair or replacement services for it. This would include items such as microwave ovens, oven fans, heaters, Kitchen aid ™ mixers, other small miscellaneous kitchen appliances, and maybe even power tools.

 

Questions to Ask Repair Companies

Once you have the names of a few appliance repair service companies, you may want to ask any or all of these questions when you call…

1. Ask when the soonest they can come out to make the repair? If the timing is adequate, ask how punctual they are (and if they have a guarantee on the time)? There’s nothing worse than waiting all day for a repair that won’t happen that day.
2. Ask if they offer a guarantee on their work and their parts?
3.  Ask about a written estimate; service call charge; fees; or a combination of written estimate with final bill?
4. Ask if it is possible to add service call fees to your monthly utility bill.
5. Gas, electrical, radiation, and refrigeration repairs require special considerations. Qualified Repair technicians must have experiences with gas, electrical, and refrigeration issues. When they repair gas appliances and microwave ovens, appliance repair technicians need to be aware of dangers form gas and radiation leaks. When you need to have your stove fixed or your gas lines checked for leaks, you definitely want to call a home appliance repair person for help. Mostly, just make sure they are qualified to fix the specific appliance you need repaired.
6. If you’re interested, you can ask them if they offer a monthly service plan. Having a consistent appliance repair technician and service can keep your home appliances humming right along, and may also help prevent unwanted breakdowns. This would give you peace of mind for all your major home appliances, and keep all your appliances protected under one convenient repair plan. You can also ask questions, which might include concerns about appliance installation, operation and repair.

 

Hopefully some of these tips will help ease your next appliance repair problem. Once you have exhausted all of these steps, and if the repair still didn’t work, then it might be time to look into buying the new appliance you’ve been dreaming of. But we’ll cover that in another article.

 

Understanding South Western Ontario Locksmith

South Western Ontario Locksmith 866-820-1331

Understanding South Western Ontario Locksmith

I have been a mobile locksmith for the better part of 10 years. I have worked in and alongside all facets of the locksmith industry. Locksmith is a critical trade that is often underrepresented in the trades community, and the people at large. But what is a locksmith, and why is it important to know? As one locksmith I spoke with frankly stated, “a locksmith works with locks.” The essential-ism is quite true, yet fails to engage with the dynamic variety within the industry.

 

Locksmith comprises specific knowledge and skills designed for maintaining access control.

Access control ensures that those who are allowed entrance to a specific area or building are permitted, while those who are not allowed entrance to a building are denied. Access control is everywhere – be it the locks on your house or store, your vehicle, parkade or gated community. Many locksmiths I have sat down with were either owner and operator of their own business, or they owned a locksmith shop from which they dispatched mobile technicians. Locksmith technicians operate in many forms and often take on a specialized roles in the industry.

 

Automotive technicians specialize in automobile locks.

For vehicle locks, each year, make, and model often has different internal mechanisms, unique and specific electronic and mechanical hardware. Thus automotive locksmithing has a steep learning curb and requires a large base of specialized tools and knowledge. This work largely involves opening locked cars, cutting specailized keys, and occasionally tearing out steering coloumbs, door panels and reporgraming onboard computers. Most often however, automotive technicians open locked vehicle doors. Automotive technicians often intercede the dealership-client relationship to provide automotive services at a better price and by more reliable technicians.

 

Another specialized role is the emergency locksmith.

Emergency technicians are on call 24 hours a day. They respond to lockouts, fix break-ins, and repair broken doors. They also engage in basic locksmith work, such as rekeying locks and installing door hardware. Emergency technicians deal with a plethora of moral and ethical crisis. Thus it is important to ensure that your emergency technician be licenced, bonded and insured. Emergency technicians are called in to change the locks when a spouse has been abused. They open the door into grandma’s house when she hasn’t answered the phone in two weeks, and they change the locks on your door when someone you don’t trust has the keys.

 

Emergency technicians work with people who are scared, angry, and vulnerable and often in conjunction with the police.

A less exciting but equally important aspect of locksmiths is on the commercial industrial side of business. Commercial locksmiths work on construction sites and developing buildings. They install doors and door hardware. They assign master key systems for the building and integrate construction masters for the workers.

 

Alternatively, locksmiths can reside within pre-existing institutions.

Hospitals, prisons, schoolboards, are examples of institutions which keep full time locksmiths on their payroll. High security specialists work with high-security locks, exclusive keyways, electronic locks and safe work. They control access to highly exclusive areas and possess sensitive knowledge of those areas.

 

Locksmithing is a vastly growing enterprise.

The need for greater access control rises with new technologies and rising crime rates. I would encourage everyone to become familiar with the locksmiths in your area. It is important to build a repertoire with your local technician. You should always have your locks re keyed when you move into a new building, and any locksmith worth their weight will have great ideas on how to improve your security. Locksmith is often underrepresented in the trades community but they are the most important deterrent between you, your property, and crime.

How to Force Entry on Commercial Doors

Here’s the scene: You arrive late at night at a single-story strip mall with reinforced masonry walls, open web steel joist and no sprinkler system. There’s smoke and fire showing through the large front windows. The battalion chief’s strategy is to get inside (offensive) and knock this down ASAP. The rear door (side C) is used mostly for deliveries during business hours and is locked at other times—like now. You know from your inspections that the door is equipped with a panic bar, even though there are no hardware clues (e.g., bolt heads) on the outside. Your assignment is to get this door open to provide horizontal ventilation as well as an alternate means of escape for crews.

There are several conventional ways to force this door open: 1) prying the latch out of the frame; 2) cutting it down with a rotary saw and metal-cutting blade; and 3) taking/cutting the hinges. But what about other methods that aren’t quite so conventional? Here, I’ll address how the panic bar can be used to force entry as well as simple solutions for other common commercial entry challenges.

An Unconventional Method: Find the Panic Bar (See Disengage the Panic Bar slideshow)
Lately, my department has been taking advantage of all the area business closures by experimenting on different ways to force these doors using only a Halligan and flat-head ax. Our approach starts with the panic bar. You want to pierce the door a few inches above the panic bar. We know that the bar itself is about 40 to 42 inches up from the bottom of the door (or in the middle of the door). For me, this is about waist high, so I use this as a landmark to get me close.

The next issue: how to make a hole in the steel door to get the Halligan through. You can drive the forks through by hammering the Halligan bar. If you chose this approach, start the forks on their corner to easily establish a purchase point. Another way to start an insertion point is to drive the spike in and then switch over to the forks. These techniques work and you should try them, but also try the method depicted in the accompanying slideshow—it is much faster and easier.

Specifically, strike the door with the blade of the ax. It will go through one (if not both) layers quickly and easily. If it does not get through both layers, strike the ax with the Halligan. Once the opening is made, insert the Halligan in the hole and drive it through to the other side. Once the Halligan is inserted a couple of inches past the forks, push up and then pull the door outward to open it. The forks should catch the bar and disengage the latches.

Commercial Door Hinges (See Overcome Commercial Door Hinges slideshow)
Hinges can also be overcome with hand tools. When struck with a sledge hammer or flathead ax, the hardened steel hinge will perform like a cold chisel against the screws holding up the door. The hinge will shear off the heads of the screws, allowing the door to be opened. Note: Strike all the hinges—high, middle and low.

Aluminum/Glass Store-Front Doors (See Forcing Aluminum/Glass Store-Front Doors slideshow)
Aluminum and glass store-front doors can be a formidable challenge, unless you know a little about how they’re installed. Most of these doors use either a spring-loaded hinge pin or a continuous hinge. Doors that use the spring-loaded hinge pin assembly (usually at the very top and bottom of the door) offer us an easy and simple method of entry.

Place your Halligan at the bottom of the door (hinge side) and lift up. The spring-loaded pin will catch and depress itself, allowing the door to fall open from the hinge side. You’ll have to negotiate the latch, but it will open enough to get the operation started. Be sure to secure this door back by tying it off; in other words, make sure it doesn’t clamp your hose or get in the way of a hasty retreat.

Final Thoughts – How to Force Entry on Commercial Doors
Combine your knowledge of building/door construction, conventional forcible entry, through-the-lock entry, and power tool applications to ensure that there’s nothing stopping you from getting to the fire. Proficiency with hand tools, some imagination and knowing how buildings work will get you through most any forcible-entry challenge.
