Installed Right. The First Time.

A lock is only as strong as its installation. Misaligned strike plates, improper bore sizing, and loose hardware are the most common reasons locks fail — and they're entirely preventable with a professional lock install. Whether you need residential locks for a house or building locks for a commercial property, 24 Hr Lockouts Inc. gets it done right.

We install all types of locks: deadbolts, smart locks, keypad locks, thumbprint locks, and Airbnb locks. Smart locks and keypad locks are increasingly popular as house locks for homeowners who want keyless convenience, and as Airbnb locks for short-term rental hosts who need to manage guest access remotely. Thumbprint locks offer biometric security for both residential locks and commercial locks — no key, no code, just your fingerprint.

As a top rated residential locksmith near me in Ottawa, we handle every lock install from single-family house locks to multi-unit building locks and commercial locks for offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. We also handle stuck key removal when old hardware needs to be cleared before new lock installs go in.

Electronic Lock Installation Ottawa

Electronic locks — including Wi-Fi smart locks, Bluetooth locks, and Z-Wave locks — are the fastest-growing category in residential and commercial security. We install and configure electronic locks from all major brands, including Schlage, August, Yale, Kwikset, and more. Electronic lock installation includes full programming of access codes, app pairing, and integration with smart home systems where applicable. Whether you want keyless entry for your home, remote access management for a rental property, or a connected access system for your office, we handle the full installation on-site.

Electronic locks can also be integrated with access control systems — card readers, fob readers, and keypad entry panels — for commercial properties that need scalable, auditable access management. We assess your property and recommend the right electronic lock solution for your security needs and budget.

High-Security Lock Installation Ottawa

Standard residential locks offer basic protection, but high-security locks provide a significantly higher level of resistance against picking, drilling, bumping, and forced entry. We install Grade 1 ANSI-rated high-security deadbolts and cylinders from brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy — the top rated choice for commercial locks, building locks, and residential properties where maximum protection is required. High-security locks also support restricted keyways that prevent unauthorized key duplication at hardware stores.

Panic Bar & Exit Hardware Installation

Commercial properties in Ottawa are required to have proper panic bar and exit hardware on emergency egress doors under the Ontario Building Code and fire safety regulations. We install panic bars, push bars, and fire-rated exit hardware for offices, retail stores, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings. All panic bar installations are performed to code — we assess the door, select the correct hardware grade, and complete the installation with proper alignment and testing. Same-day commercial locksmith service available across Ottawa.

Master Key System Installation

We design and install master key systems for property managers, landlords, and business owners across Ottawa. A properly designed master key system gives you centralized access control without the cost of electronic systems — one master key opens all doors while individual tenants or staff keep their own keys. Master key systems can include sub-master levels for department heads or floor managers, and can be built on restricted keyways to prevent unauthorized key copying. We handle the full design, pinning, and installation on-site — same-day service often available.
