What kinds of doors are in Marpole?
Marpole sits at the south edge of Vancouver, between Oak Street, Granville Street and the Fraser River. It is not one type of building.
Single houses with suites, low-rise apartments, newer towers and a run of shops on Granville. The lock problem depends on which one you live or work in.
Older houses
Original deadbolts and knob sets that have outlived several owners. A rekey or a new deadbolt usually settles it.
Suites and basement doors
A house with a suite means more than one door and more than one set of keys. Who holds which key is worth settling.
Low-rise and tower suites
Your suite door is yours. Lobby, parkade and building fobs stay with the strata.
Granville and Marine Drive shops
Front doors, back doors and the lock hardware that takes daily use. See the shops section below.
House and suite calls in Marpole are mostly the same few jobs. The total for your address is confirmed on the call.

Apartment buildings in Marpole: your door and the building
In a Marpole low-rise or tower we work on the suite door. Shared doors belong to the strata or property manager.
✓We do

- Rekey it when you move in
- Copies of your apartment key
✕Your strata or property manager
- Main entrance, laundry room and parkade doors
- Building fobs. We never copy or program them.
Check your bylaws before changing how a suite door looks.
New deadbolts and door repair in Marpole
Two door jobs that come up on Marpole houses and shops.
A tired deadbolt swapped for a new one
When a deadbolt sticks, turns loose or has a key nobody can account for, we replace the set at your door with a new Grade 2 deadbolt and fresh keys.
The bore in the door is usually standard, so the swap is done in one visit without touching the door.
A shop or house door that will not latch
A door that has dropped on its hinges or a strike plate out of line will not catch, and that leaves the lock doing nothing.
We reset the hinges and move the strike plate so the latch lines up and locks properly again.
Granville Street and the roads around it are lined with ground-floor shops and small offices. Business calls here are different from a house call.
- LockoutShopfront or office door opened once we confirm the premises are yours
- FrameJamb and frame rebuilt after a break-in
- After a break-inForced door made lockable again, with the lock replaced
- Staff changeCylinders rekeyed so former staff keys stop working
Staff changes and lost shop keys are the usual reason to rekey. The total for your shop is confirmed on the call.
See locksmith prices →01Do you come to me in Marpole?
Yes. A technician comes to your door or your vehicle in Marpole and does the work there.
02I live in a house with a basement suite. Can the locks be separated?
Yes. We can rekey or replace each door so the main house and the suite each have their own keys. If the suite is a rental, the landlord decides who changes the locks.
03How much is a shop lockout on Granville Street?
It depends on the door, the lock and the hour. The total is confirmed on the call before a technician is sent. See locksmith prices.
04Can I get a keypad lock on my Marpole house?
Usually, yes. We check the door and tell you which models fit it before you buy. See smart lock installation. In a strata suite, check your bylaws first.
05Can you copy the fob or laundry key for my Marpole building?
No. In a Marpole low-rise or tower, the fob and the parkade and laundry keys belong to the strata or property manager. We never copy or program them. Your own apartment key is fine to copy.
06Do you help with car lockouts in Marpole?
Yes, at the vehicle. The total is confirmed on the call. See automotive locksmith.
