Locksmith Port Coquitlam

Port Coquitlam is covered by the same mobile crew as the rest of the Tri-Cities, dispatched from the Vancouver shop rather than a local office.

Most Port Coquitlam calls are single-family rekeys off Shaughnessy Street, shop and warehouse hardware around Kingsway Avenue and Fremont, and car keys for drivers parked at Fremont Village or Coquitlam Centre.

Our van leaves the shop at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver and reaches most Port Coquitlam addresses in 35-50 minutes over Highway 1 and the Mary Hill Bypass.

A service call in standard hours is $75. After-hours labour starts at $150 between 5 pm and 9 pm and runs $250/hour from 9 pm to 8:30 am, quoted before we dispatch.

You get the price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and the technician confirms it at the door before starting work.

Downtown Port Coquitlam and the Shaughnessy Street corridor are the busiest part of the map, mixing shopfronts with the houses behind them. Citadel Heights and Riverwood are newer subdivisions where builder keys are still in the locks years after possession, which is exactly what a rekey is for. Mary Hill and Birchland Manor are older houses on larger lots. Fremont Village and Lincoln Park generate the retail and car-key calls.

We work on the car where it sits, so nothing gets towed. That means a Fremont Village lot, a Shaughnessy Street curb or your driveway: the van carries the cutting machine, the blanks and the programmer, and the key is finished before we leave.

Keys, fobs, lockouts and ignitions are one call in Port Coquitlam. There is no separate dispatch number for each of them.

A car lockout in Port Coquitlam is opened with wedges and long-reach tools, not a slim jim through the door skin, so the wiring and the weather seals stay intact. Most cars open in a few minutes once the technician is on site.

If the key is locked in the trunk or the fob battery has died inside the car, say so on the phone. That changes the tools we bring, not the price.

A key that turns hard, sticks halfway or will not return from start is usually a worn ignition cylinder rather than a worn key. We rebuild or replace the cylinder at the vehicle in Port Coquitlam and code it to your existing key so you do not end up carrying two.

Where the fault is the immobiliser rather than the lock, we say so before charging for a cylinder you did not need.

Port Coquitlam key cutting is mobile, cut at the door on the same visit as whatever else the property needs.

Every key is cut on a calibrated machine and tested in the lock before we leave. A key that turns roughly on the first try is a key that will strand you in a year, so we recut rather than hand it over.

Key types we cut in Port Coquitlam

• House and office keys: $5-$15 each, or $8-$30 for specialty and commercial blanks
• Uncut key blank over the counter: $4.75
• Restricted and high-security keys (Mul-T-Lock, Medeco, Schlage Primus) cut to registered code: $30-$80
• Transponder car-key spare, cut and coded: $180-$240
• Proximity smart-key spare: $300-$420

Restricted keyways cannot be copied on demand. That is the point of them. Bring the authorisation card or the strata approval and we cut to the registered code; without it we cannot, and neither can anyone else who is doing it properly.

Cut on site or cut at the counter

Everything is cut and programmed by the same licensed team that runs the counter at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver, so a walk-in job and a mobile job are quoted from the same price list.

If the key is unusual, an old mortise blank, a cabinet key, a padlock keyed to a house, we would rather see it than guess. Send a photo when you call and we will load the right blanks before driving to Port Coquitlam. The site-wide detail is on the key cutting page.

These are the same figures the shop quotes over the counter. The full list is on the prices page.

• House or business lockout, non-destructive entry: $80-$160
• Rekey an existing cylinder: $25-$45 per cylinder, or $60-$120 per cylinder on Mul-T-Lock, Medeco and Schlage Primus
• Lock change with new hardware fitted: $80-$160
• House and office keys cut: $5-$15 each, or $8-$30 for specialty and commercial blanks
• Programmed transponder car key: $180-$280. Proximity smart key: $280-$420
• Safe opening: from $150 residential, from $300 for a commercial TL-15 or TL-30. Combination change $80-$150

Parts are extra only when you ask for new hardware. If a rekey solves the problem we say so, because a $25-$45 per cylinder rekey is a better outcome for you than a lock change you did not need.
