Lock installation done right the first time
Many security problems come down to poor installation rather than a bad lock. A misaligned latch, a strike plate held by short screws, or a deadbolt that doesn't fully throw will all undermine even an expensive lock. We install every lock so it lines up correctly, throws fully into a reinforced strike, and operates without forcing.
Whether you're replacing a single worn front-door lock in an older Newmarket home or fitting out a new build off Yonge Street, we make sure the finished result is secure, smooth and reliable — not just screwed on and left.
Choosing the right lock for your door
There's no single best lock for every situation. The right choice depends on the door, the level of security you need, and how you want to use it. We help you weigh options across standard deadbolts, high-security cylinders, keypad locks and smart locks, explaining the real differences rather than upselling.
We favour trusted, widely available brands so that future keys and replacement parts are easy to source. That matters: a bargain lock from an unknown brand can become a headache when you need a spare key or a small repair down the line.
Smart locks and keyless entry
Smart locks and keypads are increasingly popular with Newmarket homeowners who are tired of hiding spare keys or getting locked out. We install and set up reliable keyless entry systems, configure the codes, and show you how to add or remove users so you stay in control.
We'll steer you toward proven, supported models rather than throwaway gadgets, and we'll be honest about which doors and frames are suitable. Done well, a smart lock adds genuine convenience without compromising security.
Reinforcement that stops break-ins
The lock itself is only part of door security. We reinforce the parts attackers actually exploit: strike plates fixed with long screws that bite into the frame stud, solid deadbolts with a full throw, and properly fitted hardware that doesn't have play. These small upgrades dramatically increase how much force your door can withstand — often more than swapping to a pricier lock alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply the locks, or do I buy them myself?
Either works. We can supply quality locks from trusted, widely available brands, or install hardware you've already purchased. If we supply them, we'll recommend models that are reliable, repairable and easy to get keys and parts for in the future. Either way, the installation is done correctly and tested before we leave.
How much does lock installation cost in Newmarket?
It depends on the type of lock and how many doors you need done. A standard deadbolt installation is affordable, while high-security or smart locks cost more because of the hardware. We confirm the full price — including any reinforcement work — before we start, and we can quote most jobs over the phone once we know your doors.
Will reinforcing my strike plate really make a difference?
Yes, a significant one. Many break-ins succeed because the strike plate is held by short screws that pull out of the door trim under a kick. Replacing it with a heavy-duty plate and long screws that anchor into the frame stud dramatically increases the force your door can withstand — often a bigger improvement than the lock itself.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes. We install and set up smart locks and keypad locks from reputable brands, configure the access codes, and show you how to manage users. We'll also advise whether your specific door and frame are suitable, and recommend proven models that are well supported rather than throwaway gadgets.
Can you install locks for my business?
Absolutely. We install commercial-grade locks and hardware for storefronts, offices and warehouses across Newmarket, chosen to handle heavy daily use and to meet relevant fire and accessibility codes. We can schedule the work around your business hours to minimise disruption.
