Drew picks up personally. Quote before anyone drives anywhere.
Whether you operate a storefront on 17th Avenue SW or manage a warehouse in the southeast industrial district, your commercial security needs differ dramatically from residential. Alberta Lock delivers professional-grade work backed by Provincial Licence B001472, $5,000,000 liability through Tokio Marine Canada Ltd., and a single licensed technician handling every job from first call to final test.
Core services
Every service below is performed personally by Drew, with hardware customized to your building layout, tenant requirements, and budget.
High security
The commercial door hardware protecting your business takes a beating. A single exterior door on a busy retail location cycles open and closed over 2,000 times per week. Cheap hardware fails within months, creating security gaps and frustrating staff.
Alberta Lock installs and recommends commercial-grade products from Schlage, Medeco, and Mul-T-Lock. For businesses requiring the highest level of key control, restricted key systems prevent unauthorized duplication at any retail key-cutting kiosk. Each blank carries a registered serial number, and only authorized dealers can cut copies with written owner approval.
Panic bars from major manufacturers meet Alberta's building and fire code exit device requirements. If your current panic bars stick, drag, or fail to latch properly, you risk both a security breach and a fire code violation.
Access control
Modern keyless entry retrofits onto most existing commercial door frames. During an on-site assessment, Drew evaluates the current doors and recommends compatible options without forcing a full door replacement.

Worked with Drew to rekey our new-to-us home, ran into some trouble with a bad cylinder and despite a small wait, he managed to get everything sorted out and in clean working order. I would vouch for him and recommend him to others for his transparent pricing and commendable workmanship. Thanks for taking care of our family Drew!

Called Drew late afternoon and he was able to come over on his way home to have a look at fixing the mechanism on my antique door handle assembly. Drew was not familiar with the style of the handle but through troubleshooting and persistence, he was able to resolve the issue saving me several hundreds of dollars in a new handle mechanism. Works great now. I would definitely call them again and recommend his services to family and friends.

I would highly recommend this company. Professional, efficient, and excellent customer service. Drew even vacuumed my front mat afterwards and cleaned up after the job was done!

A silly whoops, left the keys in the car. But this beauty of a man came in decent time, even when delayed he called us to let us know. When he arrived it couldn't have taken more than five minutes. Absolutely no damage to the car, and he was polite the whole time. Take it from a girl who's used to scams and shady people, if you're panicking and don't know what to do, use this company. Any car locksmith is expensive, but this one is reasonable. Again, thank you.

I highly recommend Alberta Lock! Drew was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. All the other places I called expected me to be an expert on security and locks. They gave me so much overwhelming information and asked me a lot of questions. But when I called Drew and explained what I was looking for, he guided me to the right solutions really quickly and easily. He was available when we needed him, provided updates on arrival time and throughout the job, and got the work done quickly and with great quality. Drew was also very polite and professional, and I would definitely hire him again!
