Locksmith in Cambridge

Cambridge was created in 1973 when Galt, Preston and Hespeler joined with the village of Blair, and it still feels like three towns sharing one name. Each old core has its own main street, its own stone and brick buildings, and its own mix of older homes. Around them sit the business and industrial parks along Highway 401 and Highway 24 that make Cambridge one of the region's busiest places to make things. Our Kitchener shop is a short drive away, and a good share of our commercial work happens here.

Industrial parks and plant doors

Plant doors take a beating. Forklifts clip frames, closers wear out, and exit devices on a door used all shift long need to latch every single time. We supply and install the commercial door hardware that holds up to that: panic bars and exit devices, heavy-duty closers, continuous hinges, astragals, latch protectors and thresholds, from brands such as Von Duprin, LCN, Sargent, Falcon and Adams Rite. When a frame or door is past saving, we supply and install hollow metal doors and frames, with or without fire rating, insulation and lites.

Many of the businesses we look after have grown into a patchwork of keys, with a different one for the office, the shipping door, the tool crib and the electrical room. A master key system brings order to that: each area gets its own key, supervisors carry a master for their section, and management holds a grand master. Andy Kuntz of Kuntz Electroplating Inc. described working with us this way:

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Coté Lock Service for many years now. Their professional, knowledgeable, swift service, coupled with that small family business feel, has helped foster a close working relationship. One that I’m sure will continue for many more years. (Andy Kuntz, Kuntz Electroplating Inc.)

Galt, Preston and Hespeler storefronts

The older downtown blocks in Galt, Preston and Hespeler are full of small shops, offices and restaurants in buildings that have had many owners. New tenants should rekey when they move in, since there's no telling how many keys the last business handed out. We also replace worn storefront hardware and fit automatic door operators and barrier-free washroom kits when a space is being made accessible.

Homes across the city

Cambridge homes range from nineteenth-century stone and brick near the old cores to subdivisions in neighbourhoods such as Fiddlesticks and Southwood. For homeowners, the usual jobs are a rekey after a purchase, new deadbolts and handlesets, or a keypad on the door from the garage. We carry residential hardware from Taymor and also offer Emtek and Alfred locks. See residential locksmith services for the full list.

For businesses that worry about who is copying keys, we fit high-security locks from Mul-T-Lock. We're a Mul-T-Lock Super Center, and keys for those systems are cut under our own Mul-T-Lock account, so a duplicate can only come from an authorized dealer rather than a kiosk at the mall.

Ayr and North Dumfries

South-west of Cambridge, we also serve Ayr and the rest of North Dumfries Township, where farms, rural homes and small businesses often need padlocks keyed to the same key as the house, or a safe for documents and valuables.
