Frequently asked questions
What lock should I buy for my front door?
A solid deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate and long screws gives the biggest security gain for the money. We can quote hardware and installation together.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes. We install and set up popular smart locks and can leave a mechanical key backup so you are never locked out by a dead battery.
Can I buy the lock myself and have you install it?
Often yes. Let us know what you have and we will confirm that it fits your door before we arrive.
Do you work on condos and townhomes?
Yes. We service strata buildings and can coordinate with your property manager when building access is needed.
Can you make my doors harder to kick in?
Yes. Reinforcing strike plates, door jambs and hinges is one of the best low-cost upgrades.
How often should I change or rekey my locks?
Whenever you move, lose a key, or change who should have access. There is no fixed schedule beyond that.
