Residential & Commercial Locksmith Surrey

Safe and Secure Locksmith works Surrey from the licensed shop at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver: there is no Surrey storefront, and we do not pretend otherwise. The van comes out over the Pattullo Bridge or Highway 99, and most Surrey work is planned rather than rushed.

For homes, the common jobs are bringing a whole house onto one key after possession, a high-security cylinder on the front door and a safe bolted down properly. Rekeying is $25-$45 per cylinder, or $60-$120 per cylinder on a restricted high-security keyway such as Mul-T-Lock, Medeco or Schlage Primus. A lock change is $80-$160 installed.

For businesses, the work is commercial hardware along King George Boulevard, Guildford retail and the townhouse and tower strata, where a master key system starts at $300 setup plus $30-$80 per cylinder, or $60-$200 per cylinder on a restricted keyway, with a written key registry. Access control is quoted per door after a walkthrough. The four town centres behave like separate towns, so the sections below say what we actually see in each one.

A service call in standard hours is $75. You get the price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and the technician confirms it at the door before starting work.

South Surrey runs from Grandview Heights down to the border, and it is the part of the city people most often search for by name. The housing is newer and larger, so the common jobs are multi-point patio doors, smart deadbolts that have lost their codes, and rekeying a whole house to one key after possession.

South Surrey is covered on the same run as the rest of the city, reached down Highway 99. Key cutting for South Surrey addresses is covered on the Surrey key cutting page, and home work on the Surrey residential page. What we actually do in Grandview Heights on possession day, at a Morgan Creek gate and down the hill in Crescent Beach and Ocean Park is on locksmith in South Surrey.

Surrey key cutting is mobile and covers the whole city, from the Whalley towers to the South Surrey subdivisions.

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.

Our van leaves the shop at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver and reaches most Surrey addresses in 30-45 minutes over the Pattullo Bridge or Highway 99.

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

Key types we cut in Surrey

• 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.

South Surrey

South Surrey is the part of the city that searches for key cutting by name, and it is covered on the same run as the rest of Surrey. Grandview Heights, Morgan Creek, Ocean Park and Crescent Beach are all inside the 30-45 minute band down Highway 99.

The newer South Surrey subdivisions are heavy on restricted keyways and smart deadbolts, so bring the builder paperwork or the strata authorisation and we can cut to code on the visit. Home rekeys for the same addresses are on the Surrey residential page.

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 Surrey. The site-wide detail is on the key cutting page.

A spare car key costs least while you still have one that works, because the original carries the blade pattern and, on most cars, a chip we can clone straight across. For Surrey drivers we cut and program spares at the counter at 4105 Macdonald St or at the car: $180-$240 for a transponder spare, $300-$420 for a push-to-start smart key spare, and a blank from $4.75 plus cutting for a plain metal key with no chip.

A copy is only as good as the key it is taken from. If your only key is worn smooth, we cut the new blade from the code instead, so the spare fits the lock as it was built. If the key already needs jiggling to turn, the wear is inside the cylinder and a perfect copy will jiggle too, so tell us on the call.

Fob not working but the blade is fine? That is covered on key fob replacement. The full list is on the prices page.

Whalley and Surrey City Centre are the densest blocks in the city: towers, older walk-ups and shopfronts along King George Boulevard. The work here is mostly common-entry cylinders, suite rekeys and commercial hardware that has been forced.

Tower suites are usually a restricted keyway, which means the key is cut to a registered code rather than copied. Bring the authorisation from the building and we can cut it on the visit.

Cloverdale is older single-family housing, acreage on the east side and a small commercial core around 176th Street. Original deadbolts from the 1970s and 1980s are still everywhere, and they are almost always worth rekeying instead of replacing.

Detached garages and outbuildings are the other Cloverdale regular. Padlocks and shed cylinders can be keyed to the same key as the house on the same visit.

Guildford brings mall and retail work plus the townhouse complexes north of 104th Avenue. Newton is the busiest residential area on the map and the one where lockouts cluster. Fleetwood sits between them: 1980s and 1990s subdivisions where a whole house can usually be brought onto one key in a single visit.

Fraser Heights and Panorama Ridge are the outer edges and the longest runs.

What we do for Surrey homes and businesses, and where each one is explained in full:

• Lock rekeying, including a whole house onto one key
• High-security locks: Mul-T-Lock, Medeco and Abloy
• Safes: supply, bolt-down installation and combination changes
• Commercial locksmith work: master keys, strata and access control
• Smart lock installation
• Key cutting in Surrey

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.
