Our lockout service in Vancouver gets you back into your house, suite or townhouse at any hour. Call 604-227-9083. A standard house lockout is $95–$160 for the lockout itself.

Locked out of your house? Before you call, try the doors and people you already have. It costs nothing and sometimes ends the problem.
If none of that works, call us. Our guide on what to do when you're locked out covers the wait in more detail.
A standard house or suite lockout is $95–$160 for the lockout itself. The total for your address is confirmed on the call, before a technician is sent.
The lock on your door moves the price most. Evening, overnight and holiday calls sit higher in each range. All of our lockout prices are published.
As a lock opening service, we start by looking at the lock. The make, the keyway, and whether a deadbolt is thrown or only the latch is set all decide the method.
Where the lock allows it, the technician uses a method that leaves the lock working.
If a lock has to be drilled or replaced to get you in, you hear that, and the cost, before any work starts.
High-security and smart locks sit in the higher price range. Many smart locks have a backup key or an emergency power contact, so tell us the brand on the call.
We check ID and proof of residence before we open any home. Nobody should be able to phone a locksmith and walk into your suite.
Photo ID showing the address works. If your licence still shows an old address, a lease, addressed mail or your landlord confirming by phone can count.
Wallet inside with the keys? That's common. Tell us on the call what you can show, and we'll say whether it's enough before anyone is sent.
Lobby doors, parkade gates, elevators and building fobs belong to the strata, the property manager or the concierge. We don't open, copy or program them.
If you're shut out of the building itself, start with the concierge, the property manager's after-hours line, or a neighbour who can let you in. Someone also has to let the technician in.
Once you're at your own suite door, we can open it. This is the usual pattern in Downtown Vancouver towers. A lost fob is replaced through your strata, not by us.
The simplest case. Once the door is open, your keys are where you left them, and nothing else needs doing.
Opening the door solves tonight. If the keys had your address on them, or could be in someone else's hands, ask about a rekey before the technician leaves.
Don't push the broken piece back in or dig at it. The technician draws it out with extraction tools, then checks whether the lock or the key was worn.
A house lockout is often the moment to fix what caused it. Two things are worth asking about while the technician is there.
If lockouts keep happening, a keypad or smart lock takes the key out of the problem.
Not to open the door, if you can show you live there. Changing or rekeying the lock is different: we'll want your lease or the landlord's confirmation first.
The aim is to leave the door and lock as they were. If a method could damage the lock, you're told first, with the cost, and it's your decision.
It can. A spring latch is often simpler to open than a thrown deadbolt. Tell us which one is set when you call.
Only once the tenant, owner or host confirms by phone. We won't open a home on a guess, even for a guest with a good story.
Yes, on one call. Opening the house usually solves both. If the car is locked too, it's a separate job, priced on the call.
