Fast Locksmith Vancouver is a mobile locksmith operation based in and around the city — serving real Vancouver neighbourhoods every day, from Kitsilano condos to Commercial Drive walk-ups to Richmond townhomes. One number, licensed technicians, straight answers on price before any work starts.
We keep it simple: licensed mobile technicians, one dispatch line, the same service from Downtown to Burnaby.
We don't have a shopfront you walk into. We have trucks on the road — across Vancouver's grid of neighbourhoods, out to Burnaby and Richmond, into strata buildings, commercial blocks, and driveways at 2 a.m. That's the model. Someone calls, we dispatch, we arrive. Most of the time, that's under half an hour.
Vancouver is a city of renters moving between apartments, new homeowners rekeying after a possession date, businesses managing staff turnover, and people standing in the rain locked out of their car on a Tuesday. We've seen all of it. None of it is unusual to us and none of it takes us by surprise.
Every technician we send is licensed and insured to work in BC. We carry the right credentials to open, rekey, or replace locks on residential, commercial, and automotive targets without voiding manufacturer warranties. We don't subcontract to whoever is available — the person who picks up the phone dispatches someone who works for us.
Pricing is given on the call, before dispatch, based on the job type and the time of day. What we quote is what you pay. If something changes once we're on-site — a seized lock, a broken wafer, a door that's more damaged than it looked — we tell you before we do anything extra.
Residential lockouts and rekeying make up most of our volume, but we're equally set up for automotive work — cut and programmed transponder keys, key fob replacements, ignition issues — and commercial jobs like master key systems, access control, and high-security deadbolts for strata buildings and retail spaces. We also do safe openings and door-hardware repairs when the frame or closer is the problem, not just the lock.

For an emergency — lockout, break-in, all keys lost — call 604-227-9083 directly. For non-emergency work like a scheduled rekey after a move, a smart lock installation, or a commercial master key consultation, you can book a time online and we'll confirm within the hour during business hours. Nights and weekends are dispatch-only — call, don't wait.
Whether it's a 3 a.m. lockout or a scheduled smart lock install, the process is the same.
Phone us for emergencies — we pick up 24/7. For planned work, book a time online and we'll confirm within the hour. Either way, we ask a few questions to understand the job and give you an upfront price estimate before anyone gets in the truck.
A licensed technician comes to your location — your home, your car, your business, or wherever you're standing. For most calls across Vancouver we aim for under 30 minutes. Remote areas and peak times may add a little time, but we tell you the estimate on the call.
We do the work, confirm the final cost against the quote (and explain any change if there is one), and you pay by card or cash. No invoice chasing, no follow-up calls needed. If there's a warranty concern later, call the same number — one point of contact, always.
We serve Vancouver's full grid plus Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, and Coquitlam.
