Recent reviews from across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver

Alicia M.

Locked myself out at about 11pm and someone was at my door quickly. He showed me his licence before he started, quoted $145 on the phone and that is exactly what I paid. Picked it open, no damage to the lock or the door at all.

We manage a 40-unit strata and Everest rekeyed all the common areas onto a restricted keyway. Worked evenings so residents were not disrupted, handed us an actual key register at the end, and invoiced our management company directly. Very easy to deal with.

Lost the only key to my car. Dealership wanted to tow it and quoted over $600 with a four day wait. Everest came to the parking lot, cut and programmed a new smart key on the spot for $260. Took about 40 minutes.

Hannah L.

Had every exterior door rekeyed the day we took possession. Four doors all keyed to one key, which I did not know was even an option. Quoted per cylinder up front, arrived when they said, done in just over an hour.

COMMON INQUIRIES

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to your security, licensing, and pricing questions.

A locksmith in Vancouver typically costs $89 to $145 for a daytime home lockout, $25 to $45 per cylinder to rekey a standard lock, and $180 to $380 for a replacement car key. Everest Locksmith quotes a firm price on the phone before dispatching, and the invoice matches the quote.

Yes. Locksmiths in BC must hold a security worker licence under the Security Services Act, which requires a Locksmith Certificate of Qualification or documented supervised experience, plus fingerprinting and a criminal record check.

Standard cylinders are picked or bypassed rather than drilled, so the lock and the door are left intact. If a lock has failed internally and drilling is the only option, we tell you the cost of replacement before we start.

We cut and program transponder keys and proximity fobs at your vehicle, so there is no tow to the dealer. Everest is NASTF verified for secure vehicle access.

Yes. We handle building-wide rekeys, master key hierarchies, common-area and mailroom hardware, and can invoice the management company with a certificate of insurance on request.

Photo ID plus something linking you to the property – a lease, a bill or ownership documents. For vehicles we ask for registration or insurance. This protects every owner, including you.
