Two recent events in Toronto have called into question the security of master keys in condo buildings. In one case, a Riverdale condo is facing a bill of $30,000 to $40,000 to re-key its building after its master key was snatched from its fire safety box and used to steal a bike secured in a storage locker, according to a CBC news report. In the other case, a locksmith company in Toronto has been advertising that it will copy security locks for condo owners. In addition, a quick check of Google reveals several chat forums in Toronto and the U.S. where condo owners are advising each other of potential locksmiths that will ignore the instructions, ‘DO NOT DUPLICATE,’ emblazoned on these keys. These owners are also comparing notes on how to approach the locksmith for the best results. Read the article………………..
