How it works
Managing property means the same lock work repeatedly: turnover rekeys, lost keys, failed hardware and access for trades. Consequently a locksmith who knows your buildings saves time on every call. Urban Locksmith works with property managers across Ottawa on both scheduled and reactive work.
- Step 1
Booked to your dates
Turnover work confirmed on completion.
- Step 2
Records held
So each visit starts from knowledge.
- Step 3
Keying designed
Unit keys, building master, limited trade keys.
- Step 4
Annual walk-through
Catching faults before tenants find them.
Turnover rekeys, done predictably
Every departing tenant means a rekey before the next arrives, and the window is usually tight. Consequently reliability matters more than price. Urban Locksmith books turnover work to your dates and confirms completion. Furthermore, we can hold your keying records so each visit starts from knowledge rather than a survey. Therefore repeat work gets faster rather than slower.
Building masters and unit keys
A properly designed system gives tenants a unit key and management a master. Consequently a turnover rekey changes one cylinder rather than disturbing the hierarchy. Moreover trades can be issued a limited key for common areas only. Therefore access is granted without handing anyone a key to a unit. Naturally we design the chart with headroom for future doors.

Common areas and shared entrances
Lobby doors, laundry rooms, garbage rooms and mechanical spaces all need different access rules. Consequently a single shared key for everything is the usual inherited problem. Furthermore, lobby doors on escape routes must comply with egress requirements. Therefore we look at the whole building rather than treating each door as a separate job.
Scheduled maintenance beats emergencies
Closers drift, exit devices lose alignment and cylinders seize. Consequently an annual walk-through catches problems before a tenant is locked out at midnight. Additionally, documented maintenance helps with insurance and with demonstrating diligence. Therefore we can put your buildings on a schedule rather than waiting for the phone to ring.
