About ABLOY
Disc detainer cylinders using rotating discs rather than pins, a fundamentally different mechanism that is extremely resistant to picking and immune to bumping outright — there is no pin stack to bump. ABLOY padlocks in particular are common on utility, industrial and outdoor applications across the GTA, where their weather resistance is as much the point as their security.
We are an independent locksmith and door hardware contractor. We service, repair and install ABLOY products and source parts through trade supply. Product names and trade marks referenced here belong to their respective owners and no affiliation or authorised-dealer relationship is implied unless stated.

Do you service ABLOY hardware?
Yes. Disc detainer cylinders using rotating discs rather than pins, a fundamentally different mechanism that is extremely resistant to picking and immune to bumping outright — there is no pin stack to bump. ABLOY padlocks in particular are common on utility, industrial and outdoor applications across the GTA, where their weather resistance is as much the point as their security.
Is ABLOY worth specifying?
It depends on the door and what it is protecting, and we would rather give you a straight answer than a sales one. High-security hardware earns its cost on doors protecting inventory, cash, data or controlled substances, and wherever key control is the real requirement. On a door beside a single-glazed window it is money spent on the strongest link in a weak chain, and we will say so.
Can ABLOY locks be rekeyed?
In nearly all cases, yes — rekeying re-pins the cylinder you already own and is far cheaper than replacement. On restricted keyways, rekeying and key cutting go through the authorised dealer holding your system, which is the mechanism that makes the key control real.
