Why High-Quality Locks Matter — Especially Now

Rising Local Crime Rates Demand Smarter Security

City News recently reported that according to Statistics Canada’s 2024 data, Waterloo Region currently ranks among the five worst in Ontario across major crime categories, including its overall crime severity index and one of the lowest violent-crime clearance rates (the percentage of violent crimes that have been solved by police) among the province’s “Big 12” regions. You only need to turn on the nightly news to see that Ontario faces a variety of elevated threats, including home invasion, and this reality underscores the urgency for robust home and business security solutions.

Simple deadbolts or low-grade cylinders can be forced, picked, or duplicated—leaving businesses, homes and families at risk. A quality lock isn’t just a deterrent—it’s your first and primary line of defense.

Why Businesses Should Invest in Medeco High-Security Locks

For commercial spaces—retail stores, offices, warehouses—the financial stakes are even higher. Losses from unauthorized entry can be staggering, and that makes Medeco locks a powerful solution.
