Locks & rekeying for Okotoks homes and businesses
Okotoks is a town just south of Calgary along the Sheep River.
A lock that's hard to turn or doesn't line up with its strike usually isn't a lock problem. It's a door problem. Because we fix doors, we can get the door, frame and lock working together, so the deadbolt throws fully and the latch catches every time.
For businesses and multi-unit buildings we design and install master key systems, restricted and high-security keyways such as Medeco and Abloy, and interchangeable cores so you can change locks without changing hardware.
Local conditions
Built for Calgary region weather
Chinook winds can swing temperatures by twenty degrees or more in a day, and summer hailstorms are common. Those freeze-thaw swings make frames move, latches bind and weatherstripping wear out faster.
Temperature swings change how hardware behaves. We use all-weather closers on exterior doors and set strikes so deadbolts and latches throw freely in any season.
Common calls in Okotoks
- You've moved in, or a tenant or employee has left
- The key is stiff or hard to turn
- The deadbolt won't throw unless you push the door
- You have too many keys for too many doors
- You want to control who can copy keys

Barrier-free requirements in Okotoks
Okotoks follows the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition, in force across Alberta since May 1, 2024. Barrier-free requirements are in Section 3.8, Accessibility. Here's what applies to this work.
- Door hardwareSentence 3.8.3.6.(4) and Clause 3.8.3.8.(1)(b)
- Handles, latches and locks must be mounted 900 to 1 100 mm above the floor and work with one hand in a closed fist, without tight grasping or twisting. In practice that means levers, push/pull hardware or panic bars rather than knobs.
- Opening forceSentence 3.8.3.6.(8)
- Without a power operator, an unlatched door must open with no more than 38 N for an exterior swing door and 22 N for an interior swing or sliding door. Closers have to be adjusted to meet this.
- Clear widthSentence 3.8.3.6.(2)
- Doorways on a barrier-free path need a clear width of at least 850 mm with the door open.
This is a plain-language summary, not the code itself. Requirements depend on the building's occupancy, size and whether the work is new construction or an alteration. Confirm them with your designer and the local authority having jurisdiction. More on barrier-free code in Okotoks.

Locks & rekeying in Okotoks: questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
If the locks work well and you just want old keys to stop working, rekeying is the quicker, cheaper choice. Replace them when they're worn, low-grade or you want a different style or security level.
Can you set up a master key system?
Yes. We plan the keying so each person has access to the doors they need, and leave room for the system to grow.
What makes a lock high security?
Patented, restricted keyways that can't be copied without authorization, plus cylinders built to resist picking, bumping and drilling. Medeco and Abloy are two well-known examples.
Do you work in Okotoks?
Yes. We work in Okotoks and nearby communities including Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane and Chestermere, and across Alberta. Send us the address with your request and we'll confirm scheduling.
