Whether you're locked out of your Metrotown condo, just took possession of a strata townhouse near Brentwood, or want to upgrade the original hardware on a Burnaby Heights character home — we're the Burnaby residential locksmith that shows up, quotes upfront, and leaves the job done. SAME DAY.
A residential locksmith call in Burnaby looks different depending on where you live. It might be a condo lockout at a Metropolis at Metrotown high-rise, a rekey for a new strata unit on Lougheed Highway, or an upgrade to the ageing hardware on a post-war bungalow in Capitol Hill. Whatever the situation, the process is the same: a licensed technician arrives, assesses the hardware, and gives you a clear price before touching anything.
Our residential service covers everything from a basic home lockout all the way through full security upgrades. Here's what we handle at Burnaby homes:
Prices vary with hardware grade, the number of locks, and whether the job is a standard appointment or an urgent call. The table below shows what Burnaby homeowners and renters typically pay — these are ranges, not fixed quotes. You'll get an exact price on the phone and confirmed before we start.

All prices include labour. Hardware cost varies by brand and grade — we tell you upfront. No invoice surprises.

A licensed technician arrives at your Burnaby address, inspects the door and existing hardware, and walks you through the options with a firm price before starting any work.
We complete the job cleanly — whether that's opening a lock non-destructively, rekeying all three locks on a new Lougheed Highway condo, or fitting a Grade 1 deadbolt on a Deer Lake townhouse door. You test everything before we leave.
Burnaby has one of the most active rental markets in Metro Vancouver, driven by proximity to SFU, BCIT, and the rapid transit hubs at Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed. That turnover means the previous tenant's key could still work in your new lock. A rekey changes the internal pins so only your new key operates the lock — no need to replace the hardware.
If you're moving into a Burnaby rental — whether it's a suite above a shop on Kingsway, a garden-level unit in Burnaby Heights, or a tower at the Brentwood development corridor — the same principle applies: confirm with your landlord that rekeying is permitted under your tenancy agreement (it usually is under BC tenancy law, as long as you provide a copy of the new key), book a same-day or next-morning appointment, and ask us to key all locks to a single key while we're there. One key for front, back, and suite entry.
Burnaby's residential stock spans nearly a century of construction. Post-war bungalows in Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, and Government Road often carry original or 1980s-era hardware — lightweight Grade 3 deadbolts that offer limited resistance to forced entry. Strata townhouses in Highgate and South Slope, and the thousands of condo units in the Metrotown and Brentwood towers, range from builder-grade cylinders to modern Schlage or Kwikset product lines depending on when they were built. Upgrading doesn't mean replacing every door — in most cases, a high-security cylinder swap and a proper strike plate with long screws into the framing gets the job done. We carry Schlage, Kwikset, and Mul-T-Lock hardware on the truck and can show you the options before you decide.
