KEYLOCK CUSTOM BUILDERS

 

 

 

 

 

To Our Customer:

 

 

Congratulations! You have just purchased the most technologically advanced log home in the world. Many dedicated people have been involved with the design, drawing, scheduling and manufacturing of your log system, to make sure it is of the very best quality. Your log home system will arrive at your building site as truckloads of material, carefully prepared, packaged and labeled. You’ll unload it with care and place the bundles around your foundation.

 

Now what do you do?

 

Allow me to introduce Keylock Custom Builders. We are an affiliated company to True North Log Homes, family owned and operated in Ontario since 1987. Our goal is to provide you with a range of services to help you make your log package into your log home, with all the care and attention to detail that it deserves. They are so confident in their patents, processes and people, that True North Log Homes will offer a 25-Year “Zero” Air Infiltration Warranty on the log wall system when Keylock services are used. Keylock offers four individual packages that a customer can choose from, as illustrated below.
