It is so important to take care of the community you live in. We love South Georgian Bay. Recently saddened by a phone call by a customer, who had received service from a company that refused to give a business card and left a receipt with only the words Locksmith Services as opposed to a company name, he reached out to us desperate to try and find the company he had dealt with, due to poor service he received.

CHANGE THE LOCKS Some people are under the misunderstanding that to CHANGE the locks, means physically replacing the old lock with a new one. This confusion could lead a person to think that this process is expensive. I am here to help you see that Re-Keying Locks is not only a cost effective solution to better your security; but an essential responsibility when taking ownership of a new home, or protecting the home you’re in. 1. If you are changing one lock, it may be a ...push or cheaper (depending on quality of locks) to replace it, if doing the work yourself. If there is more than one lock that has entry into the home, it is typically less expensive to have a trusted locksmith re-pin the existing locks to a new key. 2. In matters of security it is wiser to have a better safe than sorry attitude. The easiest way to break into a building; is to have the key. If taking possession of a lived in or brand-new home, there is no way to know how many keys are floating around in the community to those locks. If you lose a house key or notice one missing, the 1st thing you should do is change the lock. If you lend out a key, ensure it is one that can not be copied at any hardware store. Re-keying your locks also improves performance. The pins inside the lock wear down over time, as does the key. If your locks are sticking or hard to open; replacing the cylinder or re-pinning the lock is the most inexpensive way to improve both the performance & security of your locks.

Now is the time to be SAFE. Are your important documents protected? Do you have a secure place to store your valuables? A safe is meant to protect so much more than your money. It is the perfect place for any home or business to protect insurance papers, wills, passports, USB flash drives, pictures, medications, guns, jewelry and so much more. In the case of a fire, burglary, or the reassurance that nothing harmful or valuable will fall into the wrong person’s hands, a safe is the perfect solution.

BE WEARY OF LOCKSMITHS & GOOGLE ADS. As the world is changing Canada is no longer the gun free leave your door unlocked- place it was. Security is so important. Did you know in Ontario, ANYONE can advertise on Google as a Locksmith? There is strangely NO official governing body responsible for ALL the Legalities & Regulations for Ontario Locksmiths. In January 2020 CBC News stated over 80 of the Toronto listings on Google Maps were done with false information and fake 5-st...ar reviews. A customer recently clued us in to an ad for a Collingwood Locksmith, with a fake name, & phone # purchased with no identity or address associated to it. When it comes to the safety of our community, nothing alarms us more then to think of our neighbours having their locks changed by someone unqualified or with a criminal record for theft or assault. Action Lock is a proud member of TAOL-The Association of Ontario Locksmiths. This organization provides support for Ontario Locksmiths with training, expertise, a code of ethics & a standard of credentials for membership. Qualifications are confirmed & criminal background check is required. If you are uncertain who to call; go to https://taol.net to research if the company you’re calling safe. Another thing to look for is whether the Locksmith has a vehicle with the Company name on it. Lastly, the company should have a legitimate website more then one page long. Be SMART - Call a locksmith you can trust for your LOCKS, DOOR Hardware, KEYS & SAFE needs. See more

I don’t know if it is because I am in the business of security, or perhaps have just spent to much time in the city; but I am always amazed by the number of people who move here and don’t re-key the locks on their new home. Why Should You Re-Key Your New Home? If you have just purchased a home, (even if it is brand new and no one else has lived there) at Action Lock we can not stress enough the importance of re-keying your locks. Builders, contractors, painters, realtors a...nd other professions involved with the construction of and selling of new homes, often have keys to the buildings they are working in. We recently learned (while called out to re-key a new home) that all the houses built by a Contractor in our area, were all master keyed. This means that one key would work on every lock in the neighbourhood. This was done so the building contractor could come and go, from every home in the new subdivision, to evaluate how the work was coming along. What if he misplaced a master key? What if it fell into the wrong hands? Not only would one home be at risk of a break-in, but the entire subdivision would be at risk. Do not wait until you are a victim of theft. The first thing every person should do when taking possession of a new home, or business, even if has never been lived in, is re-key all the locks. Stay Safe and Be Well See more

Is your Garage Door The Easiest Way Into Your Home? Most people leave their home,lock the front door and assume if the garage door is closed with the opener that their home is safe and secure.

Security Tip for Today - Have a deadbolt on any door that goes into the house. A deadbolt is always your strongest lock. Most common method of forced entry is simply to kick in the door. The weakest point is usually the lock strike plate. You should upgrade to a heavy-duty strike plate. Your deadbolt should have a minimum of a 1" throw into a strike plate with 2-2"screws but to improve strike plate security increase to plate with 4 -3" screws. This is a case in life where size really does matter.

Security Tips for Today 1) Make your home look occupied at all times. Use timers to switch lights and radios on and off when not at home. Burglars often house watch for a couple of days to learn people’s habits. If they see when the home is always empty, that is when they will plan their attack. 2) Make sure your entrances are wide open and lighted well. Burglars do not want to be seen.

Do you need your locks changed or Re-Keyed? I am amazed to learn how many people move to a new home, go out, and buy all new locks for their doors. Quality door hardware is not cheap. To re-key is simply to change the pins in the cylinder of the lock to fit a different key. When done by someone qualified; it is usually less time consuming and less expensive then purchasing new locks.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE! DO YOU START YOUR CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK? There have been several reports over this past winter in the U.S and Canada where parents have started the car to warm it up, loading the kids in, and then left to go back in the house for a second to grab one last thing. In some cases, the owner returned before an onlooker ran over to steal the car.... On January 9th a man was arrested for stealing a vehicle left running with a child inside of it on Christmas Day. The car was taken from a gas station in Fergus. Thankfully, the car was later found in Fergus with the child still inside unharmed. Video on Global News of incident where fathers running truck just missed being stolen with his 2 young children in backseat. VIDEO LINK https://globalnews.ca//surveillance-video-captures-attemp/ One out of every eight cars stolen in 2015 could have been the work of a total amateur with no expertise cracking anti-theft devicesor even knowledge of how to break into a locked vehicle. That is because these thefts occurred when the cars were unlocked, and the keys or car’s FOB were inside, according to a new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). ASK YOURSELF: How often have you ever started the car. left the keys in the ignition; then ran back in the house or convenience store to grab one thing quickly? RULE: 1) Do not ever leave a vehicle running, unattended with doors unlocked.even for a second. 2) Do not leave extra keys in car. That includes the trunk.

WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR KEYS WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR? How many of you drive home from a day’s work, walk in the front door and hang up your keys on a key rack? The first time I saw a key rack in someone else’s home I thought brilliant, I have to buy myself one of those. I had too many mornings where I was running around trying to find where I set my car keys the day before. The key rack seemed like the perfect solution to that problem. Apparently, I was not the only person... who thought that this idea was brilliant, nor the only person who had taken note of these when walking into someone else’s home. According to recent reports, the new and improved way to steal a car or burglarize a home is simply to walk inside the homeowner’s home; while they are present I might add, and simply remove them from the rack or nearby table in the hallway. It does not get easier than that. According to a CBC report Jan 31st 2018, about 15% of the vehicles stolen in Calgary had the keys left inside. Studies show that about 70-80% of car thefts occur with the actual key. ASK YOURSELF: How easy would it be for someone to open your front door while you are in the kitchen cooking dinner, slip your keys off the key rack and quietly close the door behind them without your ever knowing? When would you notice that they were gone? RULE: 1) Do not keep keys hanging in the house, out in the open, where there location is visible to others. People who have been in your home or who live nearby commit the majority of break-ins. It is easy for people in the neighbourhood to learn your family’s schedule or know when you are not at home. 2) Do not give your house key to workers or hide a key outside your home. It only takes one onlooker to see someone grab the spare key from under the plantar and have easy access in. 3) Do not leave keys in Car. Just as they can steal your car by taking the keys from your home, they can break into your home with the keys found in the car.

Keeping your motorcycle or snowmobile safe Snowmobiles and motorcycles / ATVs are prime targets for thieves. Don’t become a victim follow the advice from the team at Action Lock South Georgian Bay to protect your equipment from thieves and vandals. KEEP IT LIT When you park your sled, bike or ATV - especially if you are unable to do so in a parking garage with an attendant - make sure that you find a well-lit public space with good foot traffic. This has been proven to be ...a huge deterrent for property crimes. You’ll still need to lock your vehicle, as well as take any other precautions possible, but having eyes on your bike is always a good idea. MINIMIZE OPPORTUNITY One of the best ways to keep your bike or sled safe is to store it where it can’t be accessed when not in use. If you have a covered garage keeping your motorcycle there greatly reduces the chance of theft. If you are out and about looking for paid, covered parking (especially if there’s an attendant to watch over) is a good idea. The less opportunity you provide for thieves to have access to your bike or snow machine, the less likely it will ever be stolen or damaged from vandalism. DOUBLE UP What is better than one lock? Two locks! In fact, ideally you will want two well-made locks of a different type. That way, even if a thief has been casing your equipment chances are they won’t be able to crack both locks. Make sure that one of them has a cable to anchor the unit to something immovable. A disc lock can work well as a secondary lock, and there are even many models that come with a built in alarm system. Take care not to trust a disc brake lock as your primary source of protect as they are not attached to anything and a thief can simply carry your sled or bike away. STEERING LOCK While far from your first line of defense, your steering lock can make it much harder for a thief to make off with it. That is because, unless the thief can break it, it will make your vehicle mostly non maneuverable. Make sure to set the lock whenever you leave your bike unattended. LOCK HIGH When setting your lock, try to do so in a way that the lock rests high off of the ground. When stealing motorcycles and ATVs, many thieves will try to force a lock. If the lock is low to the ground, they can use tools to get leverage, making the task much easier. By placing the lock higher up, thieves won’t be able to use the ground for leverage, and will be less likely to force the lock. Use high security chains that resist prying attacks. MAKE THE RIGHT INVESTMENT At Action Lock we carry high security padlocks and chains from ABUS. We have access to a full range of locks in differing materials from all manufacturers. Do not try to protect an expensive sled or bike with a cheap lock that be easily bypassed. Come in and see us for more information and to peruse our available selection. See more

The front door lock is your first step in home security Locks can vary a lot in terms of the level of security they offer a home. The cheapest lock is not your friend and might offer no real security against break in. What is your lock vulnerable to? Is it bump and pick resistant? Is the metal weak so that it can be broken into with blunt force or drilled out? What steps has the manufacturer taken to fortify it against covert and violent entry? The handle or knob is not as ...important as the deadbolt that you choose. The deadbolt is the most important lock in your home security arsenal because it is harder to manipulate a bolt than a spring loaded latch. The outer casing of the deadbolt is designed in such a way to prevent many of the quick attack methods that a burglar depends on. Everything about front door security is built off of the locks you are using. Without knowing about your locks you will not know what other types of front door security you need, and how much more security is necessary. The main consideration is not whether you should upgrade your locks to something stronger, but rather should a locksmith change your door locks for you. We can come to your home or business and perform a quick security audit to determine the weak link in the security chain. Key Takeaways: Front door security begins with your locks. Locks need to prevent covert and destructive entry. Find out how secure your locks are before you move on to the other aspects of your home security. See more

Thanks to Mayor Brian Smith for hosting a community Christmas dinner tonight. We had a great time giving back to the community that has been so very welcoming to us in Wasaga Beach. It makes us very proud to be a part of the community.

Don’t let your Christmas get stolen This week I arrived to change some locks for a customer in Wasaga Beach. This lovely lady had been shopping and placed her hand-bag in the shopping cart under her jacket and was trying on some winter coats. She was distracted by some young ladies who asked about the fit of some coats that they were trying on. She returned to her shopping after they left and was dismayed to discover that her purse had been stolen from her cart. All her ide...ntification, home and car keys, cheques and cash plus her IPhone were taken. The locks for her home needed to be changed as the thieves had the home keys plus her address. Credit and Debit cards had to be cancelled and re-issued to prevent further loss; her driver’s licence has to be replaced etc. etc. Please take care over the holiday shopping season to make this more difficult for the Grinches & Scrooges out there. Keep your personal belongings on you while you shop, keep your home’s exterior well-lit and locked up; keep your car doors locked as well and any packages stowed out of sight of potential thieves. If you carry a purse strap it diagonally across your body rather than simply over the shoulder to prevent snatching. Have a safe and happy holiday from your friends at Action Lock in South Georgian Bay. See more

Come in and see our brand new Italian made key cutter! This machine cuts most keys with ease and Kim will cut one residential key for free for the next 10 customers.

It can happen to any of us... Please keep in mind that your family's safety comes first - however being able to secure your irreplaceable items and important documents in a rated fire safe can make a situation like this one a little less devastating. A proper fire safe will protect cash and papers as well as valuables for up to two hours of a full temperature fire. Being able to access your insurance documents and cash is important after disaster such as this. Replacing passports, birth certificates, vehicle ownership etc is such a hassle and cash lost in a fire is truly lost.

Out on a cold (ish) Sunday to pick open a fire safe. A fire safe offers protection from fire and burglary attacks, one of the best investments that you can make for your home.

Saw this juvenile bald eagle (I am pretty sure) at Beach One in Wasaga Beach this afternoon. Cleaning up a carcass off the beach. Hoping that we might have a nesting pair next year if he sticks around. Feeling very lucky to have met this fella today.

Break & Entry can be limited by using high security locks on commercial and residential buildings. At Action Lock we offer high security options that range from pick and bump proof keys with restricted access to complete access control systems that track who attempted to enter when and where. Don't be a victim, take an active role in protecting your facility from entry by unwanted parties. CCTV and alarm systems do not prevent entry, they do (eventually) inform the authorities that someone may have gained access after the fact and gather evidence in some cases. A good door lock may be enough to send a potential burglar over to a neighboring property instead of your own. Check us out on-line or call us for more details on how to protect your home or business.

Whew! It has been a busy summer. Please remember that we offer re-key services - there is often no need to replace the hardware on your doors when you move or change tenants.

Of course if your hardware is old, the finish is faded or you just want to update the look we have very extensive lines of hardware also at all price points from the builder grade to the premier lines.

Why Should I Upgrade to a High Security Lock? 1) Key control is the most basic form of security. Consider this if you can take your key to a hardware or department store and have it copied then so can anyone else who has even temporary access to that key. A high security lock has a protected key blank this means that only you can have a copy made of your key. In the case that the key is lent out or borrowed it cannot be copied.... 2) Lock picking and bumping are not viable options to gain entry with a high security system. Drilling and other physical attacks are thwarted as well, especially with UL437 rated locks. 3) By taking an active role in your security you may qualify for a reduction in your insurance rates. Talk to your agent about this possible benefit. 4) If an intruder has entered your home or business the damage to a high security lock will alert you before you enter allowing you to call police before entering the crime scene. A standard lock may not show visible signs of forced entry and you could stumble into a situation that you don’t want be a part of. Often, however, a burglar will simply pass you by when they discover a high security lock slowing down their entry. 5) Let’s also consider padlocks and cables / chains for locking up your tools, shed, skis, boat, bicycle, motorcycle or other outdoor valuables. We offer products that are resistant to cutting, picking, jimmying or other methods of gaining access to your belongings as well as weatherproof options. A cheap padlock with a mild steel chain offers very little security for equipment that is often very expensive and or dangerous. 6) An upgraded lock is the most cost effective security upgrade available. With no monthly fees and no need to connect to WIFI networks or electrical circuitry you get the absolute best bang for your buck. Come and see us at our shop where River Road meets Mosley Street to discuss your options or we can come to your location with samples and catalogs that can help you make the right decision for your security.

Buying a Deadbolt Many people choose a deadbolt for its color or finish, but when entry security is important, the critical deadbolt feature is its grade. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) subjects all locks and components to attacks by hammers, saws, wrenches and other tools and then it grades the lock Grade 1 Institutional & Commercial ... Grade 2 Commercial & Better Residential Grade 3 Residential Builder Grade Most locks you find in home centers and hardware stores are Grade 2 or 3; some Grade 2 locks may list Grade 1 components on the package, but that doesn’t give the lock a Grade 1 rating. However, Grade 2 is a good-quality lock for residential use. The other decisions you will need to make are Single Cylinder the most common deadbolt. A key is required from the outside and a lever is turned from the inside to operate the lock. Double Cylinder a key is required from both the inside and the outside. Sometimes these are recommended when there is a glass window on or near the door for added security but remember that in the case of emergency exit you would need to find the key to exit the home. We do not recommend these units very often. Keyless an electronic keypad can offer ease of use and security features that a keyed lock cannot. It is easy to allow temporary access and the fear of having a key lost or copied by someone else is alleviated.
