Vancouver's commercial locksmith for offices, strata buildings, retail units, and industrial sites. Master key systems, access control, and high-security hardware — quoted on the phone, installed the same day.
When a business in Vancouver needs its locks changed, a master key system designed, or a new access control system installed, the job has to be done right the first time. Staff turnover, tenant changeovers, and break-in repair don't wait for next week. We show up the same day, assess the site on-site, and give you a quoted price before we touch anything.
Every job is done by a licensed technician — no sub-contractors, no third-party handoffs.
These are typical ranges for Vancouver commercial work. Every site is different — call for a quoted price before we start.
| Service | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Commercial rekey (per cylinder) | $35 – $60 |
| High-security deadbolt supply & install | $180 – $350 |
| Master key system (up to 10 doors) | $400 – $900 |
| Basic keypad/fob access control (per door) | $350 – $700 |
| Restricted keyway changeover | $200 – $500 |
| Emergency commercial lockout | $120 – $200 |
| Panic bar / exit device install | $300 – $600 |
All prices are typical market ranges, not a fixed quote. Call 604-227-9083 for your site-specific price before any work starts.
Simple, four-step process — no surprises.
Phone 604-227-9083 or use the online booking form. Describe your site — how many doors, what hardware, and when you need us. We'll give you a price range right on the call.
A licensed technician arrives — often the same day. We inspect the existing hardware, door frames, and your access needs. You get a firm quote before anything is touched.
We carry the hardware. High-security cylinders, master key blanks, access control components — the truck is stocked for commercial jobs. Most installs are done in one visit.
For master key systems we provide a key chart. For access control we walk your manager through the admin settings. You leave with a working system and a record of what was installed.
A large share of Vancouver's commercial and mixed-use buildings are strata-titled — everything from Downtown office towers to the retail podiums under Yaletown and Mount Pleasant condos. Strata councils and property managers often need a locksmith who understands the hierarchy: a grand master key for the strata manager, floor masters for building staff, and tenant-level keys that only open their own suite or unit. We design and document these systems so that when a tenant leaves, one rekey restores security without replacing all cylinders.
We've worked with buildings along Burrard, Granville, and Main Street as well as light-industrial units in East Vancouver off Clark Drive and Boundary Road. If your strata has an existing master system, we can match the keyway and extend it — or replace it entirely if the system has been compromised by lost keys or unrestricted copies circulating.
Standalone pin-pad locks are the entry point — suitable for a single office door where a single code is enough. One step up: keycard and fob systems, where each credential is individually logged and can be deactivated the moment an employee leaves. For multi-tenant office suites in the Broadway corridor or the tech offices around Cambie and West 8th, a properly configured access control system is both a security upgrade and an HR simplification. No more chasing keys; deactivate a card from a laptop.
We install and program entry-level commercial access control (Schlage, Kisi-compatible hardware, Yale commercial) and can work alongside your IT team if you're integrating with an existing cloud platform. For larger rollouts — say, a 20-door office — call ahead so we can plan the hardware procurement. Most 1–5 door installs are done from stock on the truck.
Our average arrival across Vancouver is around 20 minutes. For commercial lockouts — staff locked out of an office, a keypad failure, a broken cylinder after a break-in — we treat them as emergency calls. Call 604-227-9083 any time, 24/7, and we dispatch the nearest mobile tech.
Often, yes. If your current system uses a standard commercial keyway and the cylinders are in good condition, we can rekey or add doors to the existing hierarchy. Bring us the master key and a few sample tenant keys when we arrive — it helps us identify the system and cut new keys to match. If the keyway is proprietary or restricted, we'll advise you on options.
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — the hardware stays in place. It's faster and less expensive when the hardware is in good condition. Lock replacement makes sense when the hardware is worn, damaged, or you're upgrading to a higher-security grade. For most commercial rekeys after a staff departure, rekeying is the right call. We'll tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.
We carry commercial-grade hardware on the truck — Schlage, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock cylinders, and a range of deadbolts and mortise locks. For large orders (20+ cylinders, a full access control rollout) we may source hardware ahead of the appointment. You're welcome to supply your own hardware if you have a preferred brand; we charge labour only in that case. Call ahead to confirm.
A restricted keyway means keys can only be copied by an authorized dealer — typically the locksmith who installed the system. It stops staff from making unauthorized duplicates at a corner hardware store. For businesses with high staff turnover, controlled key-copy access is a real security upgrade. The hardware costs a little more upfront, but it reduces your long-term rekey frequency. We install Medeco and Mul-T-Lock restricted systems.
Yes — 24/7. Planned installs and master key work are best scheduled during business hours so your staff is available for the hand-over. But emergency commercial calls — a break-in overnight, a staff member locked out of a weekend shift — get the same response any time of day. Call 604-227-9083.
