Commercial Locksmith in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland
A commercial locksmith job is different from a lockout. It is about planning how a building is used: who needs access to which doors, how keys are controlled, and how the system can grow without becoming a mess of duplicated keys.
We design and install master key systems, access control and commercial door hardware for offices, retail, strata corporations, builders and property managers across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. We keep records of your keying so you can order more keys or make changes years later.
What we handle
- Master key systems with a clear hierarchy of grand master, master and individual keys
- Restricted keyways so keys cannot be copied at a hardware store
- Access control: key fobs, keypads, card readers and smart entry
- Exit devices (panic bars), door closers and commercial lock hardware
- Lock changes and rekeying for tenant turnover
- Mailbox, common-area and amenity room locks for strata buildings
- Emergency commercial lockouts and repairs during the business day
When to call a commercial locksmith
- You are managing a building and no longer know how many keys are out there.
- A tenant or employee has left and you need to secure the premises.
- You are opening a new location and need doors, locks and keying planned from the start.
- A strata council wants to control key duplication for common areas.
- You want to move from metal keys to fobs or keypads without replacing every door.
How it works
What affects commercial pricing
- The number of doors and the type of hardware on each.
- Master key hierarchy size and whether keys are restricted.
- Access control choice: simple keypads cost far less than networked card systems.
- Whether existing hardware can be reused or has to be replaced.

Frequently asked questions
What is a master key system?
It is a keying plan where each door has its own key, and higher-level keys open groups of doors, all the way up to a grand master that opens everything. It lets managers carry one key while tenants only access their own space.
Can you work with property managers and strata councils?
Yes. We handle tenant turnover, common areas, mailbox locks and amenity rooms, and we can invoice the management company.
What is a restricted keyway?
A restricted keyway uses a key blank that is only available through authorized dealers, so keys cannot be copied at a hardware store.
Can you convert me from keys to fobs or keypads?
Often yes. Many doors can be retrofitted with access control hardware without replacing the whole door.
Do you offer emergency commercial service?
Yes. If a lock fails or a door will not secure during business hours, call us for a price range and arrival window.
Do you do commercial installs for builders and contractors?
Yes. We supply and install door hardware for builders and general contractors and can coordinate keying with your schedule.
