Apartment, Condo & Multi-Family Building Locksmith
A multi-residential building has three kinds of doors with three different jobs: the entrance has to let residents in and keep everyone else out, suite doors have to change hands cleanly with each tenant, and stairwell and mechanical-room doors have to meet fire code every day.
We service all three for apartment buildings, condominium corporations and housing providers across Saskatoon and Regina, and we understand the difference between what a landlord, a condo board and a tenant each need from us.
What you deal with
- Entrance doors propped open, or fobs and keys shared with people who no longer live there
- Suite rekeys needed on short notice between tenants
- Community and lobby mailboxes with lost keys or damaged locks
- Stairwell and corridor fire doors that do not close and latch on their own
- Entrance doors that drag, slam or fail to latch, especially in winter
- Lost master keys and no record of which doors they opened
How we help
- Entrance access control: Fob, keypad or mobile entry with per-resident credentials you can revoke instantly.
- Electric strikes for intercom doors: Door-side hardware that works with your intercom or buzzer system.
- Suite rekeying: Rekey to a new key on turnover, keyed alike or on your building's master system.
- Mailbox locks: Community and lobby mailbox locks replaced and keys issued.
- Fire door hardware & closers: Closers, seals and latches kept so rated doors close and latch every time.
- Entrance door repair: Aluminum and hollow metal entrance doors realigned, re-hinged or replaced.

Apartment & Condo Locksmith: common questions
Keys or access control for an apartment building entrance?
Access control, in most cases. Entrance keys get copied and never come back, so the door is effectively unlocked within a few years. Fobs or mobile credentials are revoked individually when someone moves out, and the log tells you when the door was propped.
Who pays for a lock change when a tenant loses a key?
That is set by the lease and by the residential tenancy rules that apply, not by the locksmith. Many landlords rekey at their cost between tenancies and charge for lost keys during a tenancy. We invoice whoever you tell us to and can rekey suites on the building master so your staff key keeps working.
Can a condo board standardize locks across all suites?
Yes, with the owners' agreement. A restricted keyway with a building master gives the corporation emergency access and stops uncontrolled copies, while each owner keeps a unique suite key. We handle the bylaw-side questions with your property manager before starting.
Do stairwell and corridor doors in an apartment building have to close on their own?
Rated fire doors must be self-closing and self-latching, and wedged or propped fire doors are a common fire inspection failure. We service the closers, latches and seals so they close from any position, and we install hold-open devices that release on alarm where doors genuinely need to stay open.
