About Us - Nikls "One Call" Property Services

More Than Just Maintenance. We Build Solutions

When a complex issue threatens your property, standard repairs often aren’t enough. You don’t just need a temporary fix; you need a permanent, cost-effective solution.

The reality of property management is that dealing with standard, “simple-trade” companies usually means settling for band-aid solutions. A plumber only sees the pipes; a carpenter only sees the wood. When trades operate in silos, the root cause of a problem is often missed, leading to recurring costs, repeated breakdowns, and endless frustration.

The Multi-Trade Spirit: Our Transformation

Nikls One Call was built to break that mold. Our founder realized that the most effective, enduring solutions require a wider lens. We established a “multi-trade spirit” within our company – a culture where diverse skills intersect to solve problems that other contractors simply can’t handle. With a staff of 40, Nikls One Call not only has skilled handymen, but certified plumbers, electricians, and locksmiths.

We don’t just execute basic trades; we look at the entire ecosystem of your property. If an off-the-shelf product doesn’t exist to solve your problem, we don’t shrug our shoulders. We invent a product to solve your problem.

Over 50 Custom Innovations (And Counting)

Our commitment to innovation has driven us to design, fabricate, and patent solutions that save our clients money and eliminate chronic property headaches. Today, we have created over 50 unique products born directly from the challenges our clients face in the field.

Some of our signature fabricated solutions include:

Locking Sump Covers: Securing your sump pits with locks you can drive over.
Overhead Gate Gussets: Adding reinforcements to prevent sagging and mechanical failure.
Removable Locking Bollards: Traffic access control.
Continuous Drain Grates: Retrofitting failing trough drains without replacing the entire concrete trough. Also prevents noise and theft.
2-Piece Interlocking Door Astragals: Secure your doors to stop prying and forced entry dead in its tracks.
Locking Hose Bib Covers: Preventing water theft and vandalism with custom enclosures.
Mortise Cylinder Lock Guards: Protect aluminum storefront doors from twist attacks that remove the lock cylinder.
Metal Stairs Riser Replacement: Repairing instead of replacing metal stairs, for a more cost-effective solution to rusting metal staircases.
Top-of-Door Stoppers: A door stopper for when you can’t install a stopper on the floor or wall.
Door Closers for Gates Without a Top Frame: Traditional door closers attach to the door and the top frame. This innovation works when there is no top frame.
Lockbox Enclosures: Securing key lockboxes from tampering, theft, and harsh weather conditions.
Hinge-Side Door Pins: Preventing door removal by securing the hinge side of the door to the frame, even if the exterior hinge pins are compromised or ground off.
Garage Gate Photocell Enclosures: Prevent tampering that keeps your garage door open after someone enters and leaves and allows unauthorized people in.
Enterphone Guards: Protecting intercom and access control panels from vandalism with robust full enclosures or security bars.
Exit Button Guards: Prevent malicious tampering of automated door release buttons.
Canada Post Crown Lock Guard: Defending Canada Post master mail locks against forced entry.
Custom Alupanel Drain Grates: Theft resistant, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant alternative to cast iron or brass grates for small walkway or plaza drains.
Parkade Pipe Guards: Prevent vehicle impacts to drainage and other piping in your underground parkade.
Wall Damage Cover + Door Stopper: Masking existing wall damage while simultaneously acting as a heavy-duty stop to prevent future impacts.
Fire Department Keybox Weather Shield: Protecting emergency access lockboxes from rain, ice, and debris to ensure they work when needed by first responders.
Fire Sprinkler Head Guards: Encasing fragile sprinkler heads in heavy-duty cages to prevent accidental activation from impacts.
Fob Reader Guards: Shielding proximity card readers from vandalism, physical damage, and unauthorized entry.
Roof Drain Marker: Providing high-visibility indicators to easily locate flat roof drains hidden under snow or standing water.
Notice Boards with Magnetic Back: Enabling easy installation and damage-free repositioning of communication boards on steel doors or walls.
Tenant Name Signs with Magnetic Backs: Allowing for quick, clean, and tool-free updates to tenant names for commercial office buildings.
Emergency Water Leak Kit: Equipping building managers with essential tools and supplies to rapidly contain and mitigate sudden plumbing failures.
Battery Recycling Container: A safe, dedicated, and compliant receptacle for the collection and disposal of hazardous used batteries.
Deadbolt-Lever Lock: Storeroom function lever for safe exit (fire exit) on the inside, but instead of a lever on the outside it has a deadbolt key cylinder. This makes doors easy to exit and more secure on the outside.
Perforated Steel Guards for Door Glass: Preventing glass-break intrusions while maintaining visibility and natural light through vulnerable door windows.
Exit Push-Bar Guards: Securing emergency exit hardware from being hooked or manipulated from the outside.
Welded Seams on Metal Doors: Commercial doors are stamped together. When the seams delaminate the door needs to be replace. Welding the seams greatly increases the life of metal doors.
Reinforced Door Stops: For applications where the door stop can not fail due to risk of glass or other damage by a heavy duty door or gate.
Traffic Mirror Guards: Traffic mirrors are often stolen. Security cages prevent theft while still ensuring visibility for drivers.
Elevator Button Guards: Stops foot pressing of the elevator buttons which can damage the button panel and forces people to press the button with their fingers.
Anti-Climbing Shroud for Roof Ladders: Restricting unauthorized roof access by fully enclosing the rungs of exterior fixed ladders.
Non-Penetrating Roof Ladders: Providing safe, compliant roof access without compromising the roofing membrane with drilled holes or traditional fasteners.
Self-Locking Traffic Barrier Arms: Ensures traffic barrier arms automatically lock into place when closed – no more padlocks being lost.

Mailbox Panel Locking Hardware: Heavy duty night-locks for mailbox panels.

Chain Link Fence Flat-Bar Security Upgrade: Bolstering flexible chain link fences with rigid steel flat bars to prevent cutting through the fence.
Push Bar End Guards: Preventing wire attacks that can pull push bars open by sliding a wire between the door and frame or between double doors.
Electrical Outlet Locking Cover: Preventing unauthorized power usage and tampering by locking exterior or common-area power receptacles.
Custom Anti-Skateboard Guards: Deterring skateboarders from grinding on retaining walls, stairs, and handrails to prevent property damage and liability.
Door Bottom Repair Wrap: Cost effective repair for rusted or short commercial door bottoms with a heavy-duty metal sleeve instead of replacing the entire door.
Door Frame Emergency Repair Kit: Hardware kit to quickly re-secure a door after a break-in has compromised the door jamb.
Dual Edge Door Sweep: Sealing gaps at the bottom of doors to keep out drafts, pests, and water with a combination of bristles and wiper.
Door Wrap for Emergency Repair: Quickly repair and reinforce split or kicked-in wooden or metal doors around the lock area to restore security.
