Key Cutting in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

Need a spare key? Walk into our shop on Macdonald Street with the key you have and leave with copies. We keep a large selection of key blanks so most common keys are cut while you wait.

Beyond standard house keys we also cut office, mailbox, padlock and many car keys, and we can help with high-security and restricted keys when you have the owner's authorization.

What we handle

  • House, apartment and office keys
  • Mailbox, padlock and cabinet keys
  • Car keys, including transponder keys that need programming
  • High-security and restricted keys with proper authorization
  • Replacement keys cut by code when the original is lost
  • Key rings, tags and key organisation for property managers
