We’re an independent Medeco service provider covering all of Ontario, from the 91761 historic core out to the 91758 and 91764 warehouse districts, and we also offer Medeco service in Montclair. We stock restricted blanks and pin kits for Biaxial, Maxum, and Medeco³ keyways, so we handle rekeys, repairs, and replacement keys in-house rather than sending your cylinder off to a third party. What makes our Medeco work different in Ontario specifically is that we split our time between fleet key-control jobs off the 60 and vintage mortise retrofits near Euclid Avenue in the same week. Call (855) 382-0290 and tell us what you’re dealing with.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for Medeco Service
Medeco isn’t a lock line where you can wing it. The Biaxial and Medeco³ keyways use angled cuts and sidebar pins that a generic locksmith with a standard pin kit won’t have the tooling or blanks for. We carry those blanks. We carry those pins. And we’ve been working on Medeco mechanical cylinders long enough that Noel Camacho can usually diagnose a binding key or a dragging bolt over the phone before we even roll a truck.
Ontario’s housing stock runs in two directions. The mid-century homes near downtown still carry original builder-grade hardware, some of it mortise-based and long since discontinued. The newer industrial and distribution builds out toward the 60 have commercial key-control needs that demand restricted keyways and disciplined record-keeping. We work both ends of that spectrum without subcontracting anything out. Full Medeco sales & service means we’re not reading a manual on your doorstep.
We’re not authorized by Medeco, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re an independent shop that invested in the restricted blanks, pin kits, and depth-and-space charts because Ontario genuinely needs someone local who can service this hardware without sending it away.

Common Medeco Locksmith Problems We Solve in Ontario
Here’s what we actually see when a Medeco call comes in from Ontario:
- Grit-bound cylinders in the 91764 and 91758 corridors. The foothill dust and warehouse particulate out there get into exposed exterior cylinders. Keys bind, pins drag, and the lock feels shot when it just needs a teardown, clean, and re-grease with the right lubricant. We do that in the truck or in the shop.
- Seasonal jamb warp on the 1950s – 70s homes near the historic core. Santa Ana heat dries out the wood door slabs and jambs, so a Medeco bolt that used to throw cleanly now catches on the strike plate. The cylinder’s usually fine. The door geometry isn’t. We adjust the strike and often correct the jamb so the lock works without fighting it.
- Orphaned Medeco cylinders with no control key. A tenant moved out, a property changed hands, and now nobody has the key-control card. Without that card, an authorized dealer won’t cut a key. We decode the cylinder and re-pin it to a new restricted key, which is the honest fix for an orphaned restricted keyway.
- Biaxial key wear causing intermittent sidebar engagement. Over time the angled cuts on a Biaxial key wear down just enough that the sidebar doesn’t fully seat. The key looks fine but the cylinder acts like it’s failing. We decode the existing key, cut a fresh one to factory specs, and test it across all cylinders on the property.
- Failed mortise bodies behind older Medeco retrofits. Near Euclid Avenue especially, we find 1950s mortise case internals that have corroded or stripped out behind a perfectly good Medeco cylinder. The high-security core isn’t the problem. The 60-year-old pot-metal case is. We rebuild or replace the mortise body and keep the Medeco cylinder in service.
Medeco Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Ontario’s logistics corridor off the 60 and I-15 makes this one of the few Inland Empire cities where the same week brings Medeco restricted-keyway work on a distribution-center fleet key-control job and a vintage mortise retrofit on a mid-century home near downtown. That’s two different Medeco problems a few miles apart, and a locksmith who only does residential or only does commercial isn’t going to be useful for both. A fleet job out by the truck yards is all about key-control discipline: who has which key, what the restricted blank code is, how many generations deep the master system runs. A Euclid Avenue retrofit is the opposite: a 1950s door with original mortise hardware that needs Medeco in Upland serviced without destroying the vintage lockset. We move between those two realities in the same day, and that’s exactly why homeowners and property managers in Ontario call us instead of a shop that only knows one side of the job.
Medeco Models & Products We Service in Ontario
We service the Medeco Maxum deadbolt, the Biaxial deadbolt, Medeco³ high-security cylinders, and Medeco key-in-knob, rim, and mortise cylinders. Our parts approach is simple: genuine Medeco cylinders, pins, cams, and restricted blanks wherever they exist. We only turn to quality aftermarket hardware for the surrounding door prep like strikes, reinforcement plates, and jamb repair. If your cylinder is sound, we clean and re-pin it rather than sell you a replacement you don’t need. But we’ll tell you plainly when a worn mortise body or a drifted frame is the actual problem, because putting a $300 cylinder into a failing door assembly isn’t a fix. For high security locks, lock rekey work, and master key systems across Ontario, we carry enough stock locally to turn most jobs around same-day or next-day without waiting on a distributor.
Medeco Service Pricing in Ontario
Medeco work costs more than basic Kwikset or Schlage service because the keyways are restricted, the blanks are controlled, and the pinning requires depth-and-space equipment calibrated for Medeco’s angled cutting geometry. A standard rekey on a Biaxial or Medeco³ cylinder in Ontario typically runs $35 – $60 per cylinder depending on cylinder type and how many keys you need. Decoding and re-pinning an orphaned Medeco cylinder where no control key exists runs higher because of the labor involved. Parts are quoted separately, and we’ll walk you through every line item before any work begins. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.

FAQs – Medeco Locksmith in Ontario
Yes, in most cases. If the card’s gone, we decode the cylinder and re-pin it to a new restricted key so the old key no longer operates the lock. That’s the only way to restore true key control when the documentation walked off. Call (855) 382-0290 and we’ll tell you what your specific cylinder will take.
Usually just cleaning. In Ontario, foothill dust and warehouse particulate work into exterior cylinders, especially in the 91758 and 91764 corridors near Medeco repair in Chino. We tear down the cylinder, clean the pins and sidebar, re-grease with the right lubricant, and the lock typically behaves like new. Replacement is only on the table if the pins or cylinder walls are actually scored. Call (855) 382-0290 and describe the feel, and we’ll give you an honest read before we dispatch.
Yes. We build master-key systems for commercial and industrial properties throughout Ontario, including the logistics corridor. Our Medeco work covers restricted keyways, key-control records, and master-keying for fleet doors and dock entries. Call (855) 382-0290 and we’ll scope it with a written plan and flat per-lock pricing before anything is scheduled.
Yes, and we do it regularly. A homeowner near Euclid Avenue called because her front door’s Medeco in San Antonio Heights cylinder had stopped turning smoothly. Our tech found the original 1950s mortise body behind it was the culprit: corroded pot-metal internals, not the high-security core. We rebuilt the mortise case, cleaned and re-pinned the Medeco cylinder to her existing restricted key, and adjusted the strike so the bolt threw cleanly again despite the seasonal jamb warp. One trip, no new lockset, and the vintage door kept its original look. Call (855) 382-0290 for the same fix on your door.
No. We are an independent Medeco service provider, not an authorized dealer, and we’re not affiliated with Medeco in any capacity. We stock restricted blanks and pin kits for the Biaxial, Maxum, and Medeco³ keyways because we chose to specialize in the product line, not because Medeco signed off on us. That independence means we service honestly and tell you when a part is genuinely worn versus when a cleaning will do it. Call (855) 382-0290 for a straight answer on your Medeco hardware in Ontario.
