About Cote Lock Service

Cote Lock Services Inc. is a family business. It has served Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the towns around them since 1976, and it has been passed down three generations. The shop is at 300 Manitou Drive, where we cut a wide variety of keys and sell door hardware, padlocks and safes, and from there we go out to homes and businesses for everything from a new deadbolt to a building’s access control.

Our mission hasn’t changed in all that time: the most efficient solution, with the best quality service, for whatever your doors need. We keep up with the technology, from keypads and fobs to automatic door operators, but the counter still works the way it always has. You ask, we explain your options, and we help you pick what fits.

What we specialize in

We specialize in commercial door hardware, master key systems and high-security systems. Property managers, plants, offices and institutions rely on us to plan and maintain their keying, keep track of who holds which key, and keep the doors themselves working: closers, panic bars, continuous hinges, electric strikes, and hollow metal doors and frames, fire-rated where the building needs it.

We are a Mul-T-Lock Super Center and a Mul-T-Lock certified high-security professional. Mul-T-Lock’s restricted keys can only be duplicated by an authorized dealer, and we cut them under our own Mul-T-Lock account, so a building owner keeps control of every copy. See high-security locks and master key systems.

For homes too

Plenty of our customers just need a key that works. Walk in to have keys cut while you wait, bring a padlock to be keyed to your house key, or have us rekey your locks when you move into a new home. We also install deadbolts, handlesets, keypads and smart locks, and help with house lockouts.
