01Strata suites
Your door. Their lobby.
Residents own the lock on their suite door and none of the hardware in front of it. We rekey and replace suite locks; lobby doors, parkade gates and building fobs go through the strata or property manager.

Locksmith Services for Your Home, Car and Business
From a spare key to a door that will not lock, choose the service that matches your situation. Not sure whether you need a repair, rekey or replacement? Describe the problem when you call, and we will help you work out the next step.
Every job is done in-house by a licensed Vancouver technician. No subcontractors, and no “next week.”
01
Emergency Locksmith and Lockout Services
Locked out of your house, condo, office or car? Call with your location and tell us which door or vehicle needs opening. We assess the lock and aim to restore access without unnecessary damage.
If your door has been forced or will not secure, let us know so we can discuss repair needs as well.
02
Car Key Replacement and Programming
Need a spare car key or have no working keys left? We provide replacement keys, transponder programming and key-fob services for supported vehicles.
Give us the year, make and model, plus whether you still have a working key, so we can check compatibility and quote the right service.
We work on the car where it sits, underground parkades included, and cut and program the key there.
03
Lock Rekeying and Replacement
Moving in or concerned about who has a copy of your key? Rekeying changes which key operates a compatible lock while keeping the existing hardware.
If the lock is damaged, unreliable or no longer suits your needs, we can assess replacement options and explain the difference in cost.
04
Key Cutting and Duplication
Arrange spare keys for your home, office, mailbox or padlock. Tell us the key brand and how many copies you need so we can confirm the correct blank and available service.
Restricted keys require a compatibility and authorization check. Ask about the total mobile visit cost as well as the price per copy.
05
Residential Locksmith and Smart Lock Installation
Get help with a sticking deadbolt, a lock that will not turn or an upgrade to keypad entry. We assess your door and existing hardware before recommending a repair or new lock.
For condo installations, check the building’s approval requirements before booking changes to the door or hardware.
Residents own the lock on their own suite door; lobby doors, parkade gates and building fobs go through the strata or property manager.
06
Commercial Locksmith and Master Key Systems
Keep control of keys for your office, storefront or managed property. We help with staff-change rekeys, lock repairs, restricted key systems and master key planning.
For shared building doors or access-control work, tell us who manages the system so we can confirm authorization and the scope of the job.
07
Door Repairs and Safe Services
A door that catches, drags or will not latch may need more than a new lock. We assess the hardware and alignment to identify the problem.
We also handle safe-service enquiries. Share the safe’s brand and the issue so we can confirm how we can help.

About us ↗B6227BC Security Business Licence
30+ yrsCombined locksmith experience
0Subcontractors
24/7Licensed & insured
Fast Locksmith Vancouver is licensed under BC’s Security Services Act (Security Business Licence #B6227, locksmith category), and the work is insured. There are no subcontractors: the person who takes the job on the phone is sending one of our own vans.
02Divided houses
One lot. Three keys.
Two or three homes on one lot with two or three separate keys is the default east of Main Street and common in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant. We key each suite to itself and the shared doors to everyone who needs them.
03Pre-war houses
Service it first.
On the west side the right answer is often to service the lock the house was built with rather than sell a new one. The vans carry mortise cylinders for those doors, and bit keys are filed to the lock rather than traced off a pattern.
04Cars in parkades
Fixed where it sits.
A large share of car lockouts and lost keys happen underground. We work on the car where it sits, and cut and program the key there.
The price depends on the work, the hardware or vehicle involved, the number of locks or keys and the time of the visit.
01The work
02Hardware or vehicle
03Number of locks or keys
04Time of the visit
A spare house key, a home lockout and an all-keys-lost car-key job require different equipment and labour.
► When you call, ask for the total expected cost, including
- Any service call
- Labour
- Parts
- Programming
- After-hours charges
- Applicable tax
We explain the proposed work before starting and discuss changes if the on-site assessment reveals a different problem.

How to Book a Locksmith in Vancouver
The same steps for a 3 a.m. lockout downtown and for a rekey booked a week ahead of a possession date.
01
Tell Us What You Need
Call 604-227-9083 with your location and a short description of the problem. For car keys, have the year, make and model ready. For door work, the lock brand and whether the door opens will help.
► A street number is often not enough here
- TowerThe building, the suite and who can let a technician in downstairs after hours
- Shared lotWhich entrance you are standing at
- ParkadeThe level and the stall
Work that can wait can also be booked online.
02
Confirm the Service and Arrival Window
We discuss availability, the expected cost and any information needed before the visit. Let us know about building access, parking restrictions or a time you need the work completed.
► Proof it’s yours, settled on the call, not in the corridor
- House or suitePhoto ID
- VehicleBC registration and ID, checked against the VIN
03
Have the Work Completed and Checked
The technician confirms the job, checks authorization where required and completes the agreed work. Locks and keys are tested before the visit is finished.
► Done on site
- TailgateCylinders pinned
- KerbKeys cut
- At the carFobs programmed
If arrival finds a different job from the one described, the work stops, you get the revised number, and carrying on is your call.
► Request an appointment
For lockouts happening now, just call. For everything else, the calendar shows real availability.
01Can I Call for a Locksmith at Night?
Yes. Call our 24/7 emergency line at 604-227-9083 for urgent lockouts or a door that will not secure. We will confirm technician availability and the expected response for your location.
02How Quickly Can You Get to Me?
Arrival depends on your location, traffic, technician availability and access to the property. Call with your address for a current estimate. Mention any locked lobby, gated entrance or underground parking before the visit.
03What If I Lost My Car Keys and Have No Spare?
We can make replacement keys for supported vehicles even when you have no working key left. The process depends on the vehicle and key system, so provide the year, make and model when you call. Proof of ownership is required. The key is cut and programmed at the car, underground parkades included. See car key replacement for the makes we cover.
04Should I Rekey My Locks or Replace Them?
Rekeying is often suitable when the locks work properly and you want old keys to stop working. Replacement may be appropriate for damaged or unreliable hardware, or when you want different features. We can assess the existing locks and explain your options. The rekey or change guide goes through it.
05Can You Cut a Spare House Key?
Yes, subject to the key type and availability of the correct blank. Call with the brand or markings on the key and the number of copies you need. Restricted systems may require approval from the authorized key-system holder or service through its registered dealer.
06What Identification Do I Need?
Requirements depend on the job. For a property lockout, have identification and evidence that you are authorized to enter. For car-key work, have identification and vehicle ownership documents available. If your documents are locked inside, explain that when you call. A lease or a landlord’s confirmation works if your ID still shows an old address, and for a car the registration is checked against the VIN.
07Can You Replace a Building Fob?
No. Lobby, parkade and elevator fobs belong to the building’s access system, so they come from the strata or property manager. Access control on your own business door is different, and we do that.
