Highgate locksmith service.

Mobile and licensed, covering the condos, townhomes, and commercial units of south Burnaby's Highgate district.

Highgate is a compact, well-defined residential and commercial district in south Burnaby, anchored by Highgate Village — an open-format shopping centre on Kingsway at Stride Avenue that serves as the neighbourhood's commercial spine. The surrounding residential blocks are a tightly knit mix of mid-rise condos, strata townhome complexes, and some older detached homes on the streets running north toward Edmonds.

The condo buildings in Highgate were mostly built in the late 1990s and 2000s, on streets like Southridge Drive and the blocks immediately off Kingsway. These buildings have a characteristic lock profile: Weiser or Schlage B-series deadbolts on suite entries, many of which are now approaching two decades of use. When these cylinders start to show their age — stiff key turns, slight key wobble — it's typically time for a rekey or replacement. We carry the Schlage SC1 and KW1 keyways that cover most of these buildings and can rekey on-site without ordering parts.

Townhome complexes are distributed throughout Highgate's residential blocks, often tucked behind Kingsway on quieter connector streets. These stratas typically have a front entry deadbolt, a rear or patio secondary lock, and sometimes a garage side-door cylinder. A move-in rekey on a Highgate townhome usually covers two or three cylinders. We quote all of them before the visit so the total isn't a surprise when we're done.

Highgate borders Edmonds to the east and South Slope to the north; the neighbourhood's southern boundary runs toward the New Westminster border along Rumble Street and Marine Way. The proximity to the Edmonds SkyTrain station (a short walk north) means this neighbourhood draws commuters, and car lockouts in the Highgate Village parking lot and the surrounding street parking are a consistent part of our workload here.

Getting to you in Highgate.

Kingsway through Highgate moves well outside of morning and afternoon peak hours; we route around the Kingsway/Stride intersection when it backs up by using Rumble Street or Nelson Avenue. Street parking is generally available on Highgate's residential blocks. For condo buildings, most have visitor stalls underground — let us know if the visitor entrance has a specific access code or buzzer when you call. We arrive ready, not circling the block.

Highgate questions.

My Highgate condo was built around 2003 and the deadbolt feels worn. Rekey or replace?
A 20-year-old deadbolt that's been rekeyed a couple of times is often at or near the end of reliable rekey life — the pin springs lose tension and the key starts to feel imprecise. If the cylinder has noticeable play or requires a specific lift angle to turn, a replacement is usually the cleaner call. We'll assess on arrival and give you an honest recommendation before we start.
I want to rekey my Highgate townhome after buying it. How many locks does that typically cover?
Most Highgate townhomes have a front entry deadbolt, a patio sliding door secondary lock or a rear deadbolt, and sometimes a side-entry or garage cylinder — typically two to three total. We'll walk the property with you to confirm what needs doing, and quote the full number before we start any rekeying.
Can you change the locks on a Highgate Village retail unit?
Yes. Commercial storefront lock changes after a staff departure or lease changeover are a regular call for us in the Highgate area. We work within business hours or after-close, depending on your preference. Call ahead to schedule so we can confirm the lock type and arrive with the right hardware.
I locked my keys in my car at Highgate Village. Is the parking lot hard to access for your truck?
Highgate Village's main lot off Stride Avenue is open and easy to navigate. Stay with your vehicle and we'll call when we're close. Most car lockouts in this lot take us under 30 minutes to reach from dispatch, depending on time of day.
What does it cost to install a smart lock on a Highgate condo door?
A supplied-and-installed battery-powered keypad deadbolt for a standard condo suite door typically runs in the $250–$380 range depending on the model chosen. We quote the exact amount including the lock hardware before dispatch. If you already have a lock you'd like us to install, call to confirm compatibility with your door prep.
