Devak Lock & Key

Really excellent service. The owner here went above and beyond to get authorization for me to get me a high security key cut, she ended up having to call my landlord because my landlord sent me there when she shouldn’t have, she should have gone there herself but anyways the owner was so nice and helpful and I only ended up paying $ 48 for high security keys when my landlord would of normally charged my $ 150! I think it is run by the lady and her husband. They seem very down to earth and don’t want to waste anyone’s time including their own.
Anyone slating them on here, just remember they are professionals running a business and if they cut high security keys without the proper authorization they can be subjected to a $ 16,000 fine. Just bare that in mind when you’re ranting that they can’t cut your building key.

Had to cut a bike lock key. The lady who I believe be the owner wasn’t very helpful at all. The guy was going to cut the key and she didn’t let him. I had the lock and the main key for it with me and just need a spare as i need a second key for the lock in case i something happen.
Avoid them if you can.

I have been using Devak Lock and Key off and on for over 20 years. I had a high end bed and breakfast with 6 suites — every suite needed a key– several other keyed spaces. They were available to change the locks when a guest lost a key– and they did so very quickly.
Now I’m back in the neighbourhood– this time with a ground floor condo. I had security concerns and a budget. They were very patient with me — gave me information about what they saw as options. Their opinions sounded informed and they seemed more interested in helping than selling me everything they could.
I chose a formidable deadbolt — from a company who guaranteed it would hold up against an intruder. The keys are expensive… but there is piece of mind knowing the key cannot be copied unless I am there. It’s been two years and I love the lock. The locksmith who installed it, after he’d made the sale showed me how easy it was to get past the former deadbolt.
You know the advice I got from Devak was supported by third party research I later found online. They are no-​nonsense, efficient and helpful. I’m shocked they have mediocre rating on Squirt.

They were friendly and were able to make my needs on last minute, however, $ 25 for a duplicate of a key? Really? that is highway robbery. I understand that a special key needed to be cut for this special lock buy $ 25 is gouging. Considering the materials used to cut a key, that is a huge markup.

Had a sign on the door that said be back in 15 mins. Waited 40 mins and no one came back to open the shop. Please don’t put a sign that says be back in 15 mins if you are not actually coming back in 15 min.

Friendly, competent neighborhood locksmith — lots of accessories (rings, chains, etc), and all the keys they made worked perfectly. What more can I ask?
