At Houston Lock, we value our customers like they are our family. We are always looking to build relationships with new people and businesses to help ensure a safe and secure environment for all.
Recently, after a long and successful career, John announced his well-deserved retirement. To ensure his lifetime work of securing the community for over thirty years did not go to waste, John selected a group of like-minded investors. John made sure that anyone that would carry on his name and legacy would have to be a customer first, have experience in the industry, care about the clients and care about the community.
One of the managing partners is Mitch Porteous, and he is a highly skilled tradesman who specializes in locksmithing. Mitch has been a trusted locksmith supplying residential, commercial, and industrial lock work throughout Southern Ontario for over 30 years. Mitch honed his craft under John Gamble for decades.
Overall, Mitch’s specialty is in commercial hardware, doors, frames, all sorts of residential lock hardware, cabinet locks, safes, and access control. Providing a safe and secure environment for our clients is our main goal! Our customers need to have peace of mind that their homes and businesses are always safe and secure.
We are proud to be selected to continue and mirror the quality and personalized service John Houston has made the GTA expect and deserve.
