Locksmith Metrotown

Metrotown is Burnaby's commercial and residential centrepiece — a zone of dense high-rise towers, strata condos, and commercial buildings clustered around Metropolis at Metrotown, BC's largest shopping mall, and the Metrotown SkyTrain station on the Expo Line. The housing stock here is predominantly concrete high-rises, built in waves from the 1980s through the ongoing construction boom along Kingsway and Willingdon Avenue.

High-rise living creates its own set of locksmith calls. Fob systems for lobby doors and parkade gates are common — but they're managed by the strata, not the unit owner, so when a unit deadbolt fails or a tenant is locked out of their suite, that's where we come in. We work on suite entry deadbolts, patio door hardware, and storage locker cylinders independently of the building's fob system. We can't reprogram your building's key fob (that's the property manager's scope), but we can change or rekey every lock that's yours to manage.

The towers along Station Square and the newer builds on the north side of Kingsway near Central Park have predominantly Schlage and Weiser deadbolts from their original construction. Most of these rekey cleanly, even after years of use. When a cylinder has been rekeyed to the point of inconsistency — keys that feel sticky, pins that drag — we'll replace it same-visit with a matching profile so your door hardware looks original.

For residents near Central Park on the Burnaby side — the blocks along Patterson Avenue and the quieter streets running toward the park boundary — the housing shifts to older rental apartments and some detached homes. This stretch is only a few minutes from the Metrotown high-rise core by truck, and the lock types here run older: Kwikset entry knobs, older Weiser deadbolts, and occasionally a mortise lock in a pre-1970s rental building.

Getting to you in Metrotown.

Metrotown traffic concentrates around the mall entrance on Kingsway and the SkyTrain bus loop. We route via Willingdon Avenue or Nelson Avenue depending on the time of day to avoid the Kingsway/Willingdon intersection congestion. If you're in a tower with underground parking, give us the visitor stall level when you call — it helps us locate the right elevator bank without wasting your time. We quote before we roll. No bill surprises at the door.
