Lockdown Security

Excellent service !!!
Jeff is very personable, knowledgeable and takes the time need to deal with his customers.
Highly recommend his shop as his installer was clean/​neat and careful working on my car.
Thanks Jeff!

After doing some research online for a dash cam for my new M235i ragtop, I decided that a 1 channel BlackVue would probably meet my needs as it appeared to have the functionality and features I needed as well as it was small and inconspicuous.
Google and Unilocal reviews led me to Lockdown Security for the purchase and installation of the BlackVue 3500-​FHD dash cam — and I’m super happy I did.
Paul and Mo were friendly and helpful and the installation was better than I could have hoped for — all the wires are hidden, so it looks super clean.
Overall, I could not be more pleased with the camera.
I highly recommend Lockdown Security and give it my highest rating.

I had a DOD LS360W dashcam I bought from another store installed into my Focus by Lockdown. Right from the get go, they were very professional, setting up the appointment that included the sending of a copy of the booking/​work order via email for confirmation.
I went into their shop on the day of the install, which was nice and clean and the staff professional and inviting. They took the car into the shop, had me sit in the car for the positioning of the camera where I wanted it and then they began the install. About 30 minutes later, the job was done. I paid a very reasonable $ 40+tax for the install.
2 weeks later, I have had no issues with my vehicle or the camera. Thanks to Jeff and his team, I would highly recommend them for a dashcam install in your vehicle.

I had a good experience with the purchase and installation of two dash cam set ups. They took the time to explain the different options, price points, and advised on the best choices to pick from for my needs. The installation was booked and went well — done quickly and very professionally.
Would definitely recommend Lockdown for your electronic automotive accessory sales and especially installation.

Probably the best place in Toronto for your dash cam needs. Jeff, the owner, really cares about his customers. Was busy when we came in but left extremely pleased with the dash cam installation in our vehicle — the hardwiring and hiding of cables was done cleanly and took under an hour. Highly recommended.

I’ve had my dashcam, my mother’s dashcam, and my wife’s dashcam installed here, keyless entry, remote start, and a Drone unit installed on my wife’s car and each and every time I visit Lockdown I leave a happy customer.
Having shopped around, I found this industry is filled with all kinds of shady people, doing shady work, at shady prices. Not the case at Lockdown. Every cost is itemized and subject to your approval BEFORE they begin the work, there are no surprises. I’ll spare you the details, but we needed to order a part for one of my installs. Jeff showed me all the suitable options online, gave me the part number with the option of sourcing it myself, and told me he would look around for the best price. A few days later, he’s found the part (at about $ 150 less than the cheapest I was able to find on my own), and within another day or two I had everything done. The transparency here is really what sets Lockdown apart from the other places I went to. When the work is done, I am invited into their garage and explained exactly what has been installed, where it has been installed, detailed instructions for use, etc. nothing is overlooked. They are wide open about the work they do, which I found to be a rarity in this line of work, and really speaks to their quality of work.
Fair prices, clean shop, great customer service, and having visited them on 4 separate occasions, I can safely say their quality of work is indeed consistent. Thanks again, I’m sure I will be seeing you again sometime in the near future.

Jeff was awesome, great service and support. Hooked me up with a stellar dash camera.

Best customer service and customer support ever! I just got a new alarm installed and everything went great. They even bought me Tim’s from across the street while I was waiting. I have tried a few other shops for various things but nothing beat their price on the stuff I got installed !!! I have already recommended this shop to all my friends and family.

I wanted to do a custom installation of an OEM navigation/​head unit and aftermarket speakers, so I searched the forums and came up with Jeff, at Lockdown Security. I went there and explained what I wanted done and provided him with the factory service manuals for the vehicle. He said that he’d be able to do it but he was leaving for Europe the following week for 6 weeks. He told me that if I waited for him he would make me a priority and cut me a break on the price of the speakers I wanted and the labour. I agreed. 2 months go by and I don’t hear anything from him so I send an email asking if he was back yet. He responded a week later and I go in to see him to talk about the install. Now that I’ve waited 9 weeks for him, he tells me that the install of the OEM navigation is a lot more complicated than he thought and he can’t do it. We talk about speaker options as well as installing a rear view camera and I leave with him promising to send me information on my options that day. 3 days go by and I haven’t gotten anything so I email to ask him to send me the information so that I can make a decision and get this install done. I receive no response so I call him 2 or 3 days later. He now tells me that he can’t reach his distributor for the speakers I want (Focals.) and says he’ll try again and get back to me that day. Again 2 or 3 days go by with no response so I call again. Jeff tells me his distributor is no longer affiliated with Focal so he can’t get them. In the meantime I’ve done my own legwork and found a place that sells them so I point the website out to Jeff. He recommends a set of 3 way componant speakers (Focal 165 V33) but tells me to buy direct from the store rather than him trying to work out a dealer price with them. I order the speakers but they’ll take 5 business days to arrive. I call Jeff back to tell him the speakers would be here in 5 business days and to ask him for the information on the rear view cameras (which he still hasn’t sent me), so that I can make a decision on which one to get, and have him order them in while we wait for the speakers to arrive. The intention is to be able to book an appointment for the install as soon after the speakers arrive as possible. I’ve now been waiting over 3 months to get this done so I’m anxious to have it booked in. He tells me he’ll send the information by email that day. Once again, I hear nothing for a couple of days and send him an email to remind him, to which I get no reply. The speakers arrive and having not heard anything from Jeff, I call him. It’s a Friday and I ask him when we can book the install. He tells me he can do it ‘as early’ as the following Wednesday. I agree and ask him once again to send me the information on the cams so that I can choose which one to get and make a firm booking. This time he sends me a couple of links to cams but there is no information on whether they will integrate into my factory system. I respond to the email within minutes to ask whether the one I’ve chosen will work and to ask him how much it will cost. Jeff again doesn’t bother to respond and on Monday I send another email to ask him about it. Again, no response. There’s only one day to choose and order the cam before the supposed install day (which still has been finalised because he hasn’t bothered to respond) so I call. This time he’s not available and I’m told he’s away doing installs. I explain the situation to his partner, Mark, but Mark has no idea about anything and says he’ll get Jeff to call me. Jeff, of course doesn’t call or email. The next day I call and no one answers so I leave a voicemail for Jeff. Jeff doesn’t call or make any attempt at responding. I decide to look elsewhere for an installer and go to talk to them. They take the panel off my door and tell me that the speakers I bought (which Jeff from Lockdown Security recommended after looking at the factory service manuals) will not fit without having to cut into the metal of the door. They can do it, but it will cost a lot of money. He offers to trade me the speakers I bought for a set of Focal KR2 2 way componants if I pay a difference of $ 340. It would cost much more than that to try to make the V33s fit so even though I’ve now got to eat the cost of 2 retailers’ profit margins so I agree.
Let’s recap: Jeff Bates, the owner of Lockdown Security, tells me he can do the specialised install I want and will cut me a break on pricing if I wait 7 weeks for him to go on holidays. After he gets back he not only tells me he can’t do it, but he’s also completely unreliable and unresponsive for 3 more weeks. He has me order the wrong speakers for my car which costs me more money to rectify. We’re talking about speakers that cost over $ 1000. I also now to have to pay full price to have them installed somewhere else. He is unreliable, unprofessional, and unknowledgeable. Do yourself a favour and warn everyone you know away from him.

I came in on a rainy Saturday to get my front and back dash camera installed. The camera that I bought with me did not fit the car, and the salesperson showed us the cameras that they have on hand. I was going to buy an expensive front and back camera with a screen, but they actually wouldn’t sell it to me because they were getting bad feedback from customers. I ended up buying a less expensive camera instead. The installation was perfect, I didn’t see any wires sticking out and the guys were willing to put up with me fussing over the angle of the camera.
I think these guys are very honest and they make sure that the customer is happy with the job. I would most definitely come back again for any more electrical work.
