Residential Lock Change
Old, worn-out, or damaged locks on your home need replacing — not just rekeying. We install new deadbolts, handlesets, and high-security hardware suitable for Fort McMurray winters. If you are not sure whether a rekey or a full lock change is right for you, we will assess your hardware and give you an honest recommendation.
Commercial Lock Change
Lock changes for businesses, retail storefronts, offices, and industrial sites. We install commercial-grade hardware including Grade 1 deadbolts, panic bars, and access control systems. Tenant turnover, employee changes, security upgrades — all handled with minimal disruption to your operations.
Lock Repair & Replacement
Sticky locks, broken keys in the cylinder, loose hardware, frozen mechanisms — many lock problems can be repaired without a full replacement. We diagnose the issue, fix what can be fixed, and replace only what genuinely needs replacing. Honest assessment first, work after.
Break-In & Damage Repair
After a break-in or attempted forced entry, locks and door hardware often need replacement to restore security. We install upgraded hardware, reinforce strike plates, and offer emergency board-up service if a door cannot be secured immediately. Fast response when you need to feel safe again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lock Changes
How much does a lock change cost in Fort McMurray?
Pricing depends on the type of lock being installed, how many locks need to be changed, and whether the existing hardware needs to be removed first. Basic deadbolt replacement is the most affordable. High-security or smart hardware costs more. Commercial Grade 1 hardware is the most expensive. We always quote the full price before starting any work — no surprises, no hidden fees. Call (780) 588-5383 for a quote on your specific situation.
Should I rekey my locks or change them?
Rekeying is faster and cheaper, and it makes old keys stop working without replacing the lock hardware. A full lock change makes sense when the existing hardware is worn out, damaged, low quality, or you want a security upgrade. We will assess what is on your door and tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your situation.
How long does a lock change take?
A single lock replacement typically takes 20 to 30 minutes once we are on-site, assuming standard hardware and a properly fitted door. Replacing locks throughout an entire home or business takes longer depending on the number of doors and the type of hardware. We work efficiently and clean up before we leave.
Do you carry the locks in stock or do I need to buy them first?
We carry a wide range of residential and commercial lock hardware on our trucks and at our shop at 8112 Manning Avenue. For most jobs, we have what you need on hand. If you want a specific brand or model we do not stock, we can usually have it within a couple of days through our regular suppliers.
Will Fort McMurray winter affect my new locks?
Yes — extreme cold makes lock mechanisms stiffen, freeze, or fail entirely if the wrong hardware is installed. We recommend hardware specifically rated for cold-weather performance and we install it with weather-appropriate lubrication. We have years of experience selecting locks that hold up to Fort McMurray winters, not just locks that work fine in Vancouver or Toronto.
Can you change locks on commercial properties?
Yes. We do lock changes for commercial properties including retail storefronts, offices, industrial buildings, and rental properties. We work with property managers, landlords, and business owners across Fort McMurray. Common commercial lock change jobs include tenant turnover, employee changes, security upgrades after incidents, and full master key system installations.
