A keypad lock opens with a code instead of, or as well as, a key, and needs no app or internet connection. It suits families, short-term rentals, cottages, home offices and staff doors. We install keypad deadbolts and levers, set and reset codes, and repair keypads that stop responding.
When to call us
- Children or caregivers keep losing keys.
- You rent a property short-term and want a new code for each guest.
- Staff need access to one door without carrying keys.
- Your keypad no longer responds or accepts codes.
How the job works
- We check the door and choose a keypad style: electronic deadbolt, lever or mechanical pushbutton.
- The lock is installed with a properly aligned strike.
- Master and user codes are set with you.
- Backup key operation is tested.
- We show you how to add and delete codes.
Managing codes safely
A keypad's security depends on the codes. Avoid codes based on addresses, birthdays or repeated digits. Give each regular user their own code, so you can delete one without changing everyone's. For short-term guests, create a temporary code and remove it after the stay.
Keypads also wear: the most-used buttons become visibly worn and reveal the digits in your code. Changing the code occasionally, or using a model that lets you enter random digits before the correct code, helps. Mechanical pushbutton locks, often used on staff doors, need no batteries at all and are very reliable in cold weather.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Electronic versus mechanical keypad.
- Deadbolt versus lever lock.
- Door preparation.
- Number of codes and users.
Hardware we see in Toronto
Electronic keypad deadbolts from residential brands, and mechanical pushbutton locks for commercial doors that need no batteries.

Where customers ask us for this
What we will and won't do
A keypad is only as secure as the codes. Change them when people leave, and avoid obvious codes.
