Locksmith services for construction & new builds in Winnipeg
On a construction project, the locksmith is either invisible or the reason a handover slips. Manitoba Lock & Safe works to construction schedules — hardware supplied and installed to the door schedule, construction keying so trades have access during the build, and a changeover to permanent keys that voids every construction key the moment the owner takes possession.
We work directly with general contractors, project managers, architects and owners across Winnipeg and Manitoba. Where a door schedule contains hardware that will not pass a code inspection, we flag it during submittals rather than at final walkthrough, which is generally the cheaper of the two.
What we solve in this sector
Construction keying
Temporary construction keys for trades, voided instantly at handover by the first turn of the permanent key.
Temporary site security
Padlocks, hasps, temporary cylinders and gate hardware securing materials and tools during the build.
Hardware supply and install
Door hardware supplied and installed to the specified schedule, in the specified finish and function.
Code review during submittals
Egress and rated-opening problems in the hardware schedule caught early, when they are still cheap to fix.
Handover documentation
Permanent keying, key charts and as-built door schedules delivered as part of the closeout package.

Construction FAQs
More general questions are answered on the main FAQ page.
Cylinders are pinned so that a construction key operates them during the build. The first use of the owner's permanent key permanently disables every construction key in that system — no rekey visit, no cost, no keys left circulating among trades.
