► 01 / What to book
What you can book online
Anything that can wait for a planned visit.

► 02 / Request
Send a booking request
Service, date, address and the door.
Three details decide whether a job closes in one visit: the service, the exact entrance, and anything about the building we would otherwise find out on the doorstep.
► 03 / The process
What happens after you send the form
02
We confirm with you
We reply to confirm the details, the total and the timing. Anything we need to know about the building gets settled here, not at the door.
03
The technician comes to you
The work is done at your door or your car. Payment is taken on site once the work is finished.
► 04 / The address
Suites, lane doors and gates: say which door
One street address can hold more than one lock. The notes field is where you say which one.
Houses with a lane door
A single address can have a front entry, a ground-floor suite door and a door onto the lane. The lane door has no number of its own, so tell us which house it sits behind.
Towers and strata buildings
The street address is the whole building. The useful part is the suite number, the floor, and whether the concierge has to let us up.
Gated and long driveways
On some streets the number is on the gate and the door is a long way past it. Put that in the notes so we go to the right place.
► 05 / Strata and campus
What we do and don't book in strata buildings
Your suite door is yours. The shared parts belong to the strata.
✓We do
- Rekey or change your own suite lock
- Fit a smart lock on your suite door once your strata has approved it
✕Your strata or property manager
- Lobby, parkade, elevator and other common-area keys and credentials
- Building fobs. We never copy or program them.
Extra fobs and common-area keys come from them, not from a locksmith.
Approvals first
If a change to shared-access hardware needs council or building manager approval, say so on the form. We set the date after the approval, not ahead of it.
Restricted and heritage hardware
If your key is marked restricted, or the door is original to an older building, put it in the notes. Blanks and parts for those are not always on the truck, and we would rather plan for it. See high-security locks.
UBC campus buildings
Rooms in UBC residences, labs and academic buildings are opened by the university, and we are not affiliated with UBC. Privately owned homes in the UBC area are normal bookings.
► 06 / Call instead
When to call instead of booking
A form is the wrong tool when the door is already the problem. Call 604-227-9083. Calls are answered around the clock, and arrival is confirmed on the call.
- Locked outHouse, suite, shop or car. See emergency locksmith and home lockout.
- All keys lostThe cylinder is rekeyed or changed so the lost keys stop working
- After a break-inFrame, strike and cylinder made secure
- Broken keyRemoved from a lock or an ignition
► On the job
Two planned jobs we are booked for
The kind of work that suits a date.
01
Rekey before a move-in
When a possession date or a tenancy changeover is already fixed, we rekey the cylinders at your door so old keys stop working and the new ones fit.
The same knob or deadbolt stays on the door, so you keep the hardware you have.
02
A spare car key, done in daylight
A second key is easier to arrange before you need it. We cut and program it at the vehicle, after checking ID and proof of ownership.
Tell us the car's make, model and year when you book.
01Does sending the form book my appointment?
Not by itself. The form sends us your preferred date and time of day. We reply to confirm the details, the total and the timing.
02Do I pay to hold a slot?
No. Payment is taken on site once the work is finished, and the total is confirmed before a technician is sent.
03What if I need to change my date?
Call 604-227-9083 and tell us. Moving a planned appointment costs nothing as long as you let us know before a technician is on the way.
04Can you book me a building fob or lobby key?
No. Fobs and lobby, parkade and common-area keys belong to your strata or property manager. We never copy or program building fobs.
