Customer Reviews

Trusted by Our Customers

Real Training. Real Precision.

Every technician joins our team with a minimum of two years of industry experience, then completes a two-month, in-house hands-on training program under our founder, Alan Bell supervised by a Red Seal Certified Locksmith. Copying a high-frequency fob or programming a garage remote wrong means a system that doesn’t talk to your building our technicians are trained to get it right the first time.

Yes we design and maintain tiered master key systems for commercial properties and multi-unit buildings, working with the same strata and property management companies we serve for fobs and access systems.

Rekey keeps your existing lock hardware but changes the internal pins, so old keys stop working. Lock change replaces the hardware entirely usually needed if the lock is damaged, outdated, or you want a different style.

Most people rekey, since it’s faster and keeps the same hardware. If the locks are old, damaged, or you want an upgrade, a lock change makes more sense we can advise once we see them.

Yes glass storefront doors, patio doors, and pocket doors are all part of our regular lock repair and installation work, for both commercial and residential properties.

Yes we’ve done lock work for law enforcement, fire departments, schools, government facilities, and hospitals, where security needs to be right the first time.
