Nothing makes us happier than knowing our services made a difference in your day. Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a customer with their almost 20-year-old vehicle and a key that had been so well-loved it was nearly unusable. Despite the wear, we were able to craft a precise new key and make sure it worked perfectly in the ignition, adding a bit of extra care with a lubricant to keep things smooth. ✨

Your home is your sanctuary, a place of comfort and safety for you and your loved ones. At City Locksmith, we’re committed to helping you keep it secure with the best solutions in the industry.
Here are our top 5 tips for enhancing your home security—easy steps that make a world of difference!
1️⃣ Install High-Security Locks
Invest in durable, pick-resistant locks like Abloy high-security locks for your doors and windows. Traditional locks are often vulnerable to picking or forced entry, while high-security locks add a robust layer of protection.
2️⃣ Upgrade to Smart Locks
Smart locks, like the high-tech Weiser models we offer, make accessing your home easy and secure. Control your locks from your smartphone, set temporary codes for guests, and monitor access, all from the comfort of your phone.
3️⃣ Install an Alarm System
An effective alarm system, such as the Ajax alarm system, provides 24/7 monitoring and instant notifications to your phone. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, you’ll receive alerts the moment suspicious activity is detected, allowing for quick action.
4️⃣ Use Security Cameras
Home security cameras, such as our Hikvision models, allow you to keep an eye on your property anytime, anywhere. Strategically placed cameras monitor entrances and blind spots, deterring potential intruders and recording any suspicious activity.
5️⃣ Light Up Your Property
Keep the exterior of your home well-lit to discourage unwanted guests. Motion-sensor lights by doors, windows, and garages make it difficult for intruders to approach unnoticed.
Your security matters to us. Whether you're looking to upgrade your locks, add a smart system, or need expert advice on a complete security setup, we’re here to help. Protecting your home has never been easier with City Locksmith by your side.

Omar Balaa has always been fascinated with locks and keys. So his friends and family were not surprised when he opened up a small locksmith shop in his native country Lebanon.
He closed the shop in the mid-1970s when he moved his young family to Ottawa. Omar started modestly in his new home, working for another locksmith during the day and driving a cab at night.
In 1976, Omar opened City Locksmith in Sandy Hill. Customers responded to Omar’s mix of expertise, integrity and friendly service. By 1982, the company became a true family business.
While City Locksmith continues to provide traditional locksmithing services, the business has grown to include security and automotive services.
The business has also grown in the literal sense: from the original cozy 400-square-foot store to today’s state-of-the-art 6,000 square-foot showroom and service center. And their fleet of fully-equipped service vehicles lets them take their legendary customer service on the road, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
As a company, City Security and City Lock Auto became a reality due to the many requests by customers of City Locksmith. Clients would often mention that if City Locksmith could handle their lock and key needs, why couldn't they do security and automotive as well. In the 8 years since that time, City Security and City lock auto has responded to the needs of these clients in and around Ottawa.
City Security and City Lock Auto rounds out the already exemplary services offered by City Locksmith since 1976. The state of the art facility from which City Security and City Lock auto operates supplies products from many of the best names in the world! The qualified and friendly staff can not only install these products but offer advice and help in a professional manner.
Trusting your home, business or vehicle to someone you don't know can be difficult, and choosing the right equipment to monitor things when you're not there isn't easy either; but our technicians will answer your questions and make you feel as safe and secure.
