Vancouver's Lock Change Experts.
Your Security, Our Priority.

A lock change in Vancouver is one of the simplest ways to regain control over who has access to your property. Whether you've just moved into a new home, experienced a break-in, or lost track of how many spare keys are floating around, replacing or rekeying your locks gives you a clean start. At Fast Locksmith Vancouver, we handle both residential lock changes and commercial rekeying projects across the city, every single day.

Not sure if you need a full lock change or a rekey? That is one of the most common questions we hear from Vancouver homeowners and business managers alike. A rekey is faster and more affordable when your hardware is in good condition. A full lock change makes sense when the mechanism is worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security product. Either way, our licensed technicians carry the parts on board to get the job done in a single visit.

  • Licensed, bonded, and insured in British Columbia
  • 20 to 30 minute mobile response across Vancouver
  • On-site lock change and rekey, no shop visit needed
  • Upfront pricing before any work begins
  • Residential, commercial, and high-security options

Lock Change vs Lock Rekey.
Which One Do You Need?

Both options improve your security, but they work differently and cost differently. Here is a side-by-side breakdown to help you choose the right solution for your Vancouver property.

🔒 Lock Change

From $120 per lock (parts + labour)

A lock change replaces the entire lock mechanism, including the cylinder, handle, and hardware. This is the right choice when your existing lock is physically damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security product such as a Medeco or Mul-T-Lock deadbolt.

  • Complete hardware replacement
  • Ideal after a break-in or forced entry
  • Upgrade to smart locks or high-security cylinders
  • New construction or major renovation
  • Worn-out or rusted lock mechanisms

🔑 Lock Rekey

From $60 per lock (labour only)

A lock rekey changes the internal pin configuration so that old keys no longer work, while keeping the existing hardware in place. This is the most cost-effective way to secure your property when the lock itself is in good condition but you want to invalidate old keys.

  • Same hardware, new key combination
  • Perfect after moving into a new home
  • Lost or unreturned keys from tenants
  • Key all locks to a single master key
  • Fastest turnaround, usually under 15 minutes per lock
Feature Lock Change Lock Rekey
Average Cost (per lock) $120 – $250+ $60 – $100
Time per Lock 20 – 40 minutes 10 – 15 minutes
New Hardware Yes, full replacement No, keeps existing hardware
Security Upgrade Significant improvement available Same security grade

Lock Change & Rekey FAQ.
Your Questions, Answered.

How much does a lock change cost in Vancouver? +
A standard residential lock change in Vancouver typically costs between $120 and $250 per lock, depending on the brand and security grade you choose. This includes the new hardware and labour. We provide an exact quote before any work begins, so there are never any surprises.
What is the difference between a lock change and a rekey? +
A lock change replaces the entire lock mechanism with new hardware. A rekey changes the internal pins so that old keys no longer work, while keeping the existing lock body in place. Rekeying is faster and more affordable when the hardware is in good shape. A full change is better when locks are damaged or you want an upgrade.
Should I rekey or change locks after moving into a new home? +
At minimum, we recommend a rekey for every new home purchase. You never know how many copies of the key exist from previous owners, their family, or their contractors. If the locks are older or showing wear, a full lock change gives you modern hardware and better security right from day one.
Can you rekey locks to all use the same key? +
Yes. We can rekey multiple locks on your property to work with a single key, which is called keyed-alike service. This is popular with homeowners who are tired of carrying a different key for the front door, back door, and side gate. We can also set up master key systems for commercial properties.
How long does it take to change a lock? +
A single lock change takes about 20 to 40 minutes depending on the lock type and door configuration. A rekey is even faster, usually 10 to 15 minutes per lock. Most residential projects with multiple locks are completed within one to two hours.
Do you install high-security locks in Vancouver? +
Absolutely. We supply and install high-security lock systems from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy. These locks are pick-resistant, bump-proof, and drill-resistant, offering the highest level of protection available for residential and commercial doors in Vancouver.
Do you offer emergency lock change service after a break-in? +
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency lock replacement after break-ins anywhere in Vancouver. Our technicians arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, replace all damaged locks, and reinforce your entry points so your property is fully secured before we leave.
Can I upgrade from a standard lock to a smart lock? +
Yes, we install smart locks from brands like Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and August. Smart locks let you lock and unlock your door with your phone, set temporary codes for guests, and monitor access remotely. We make sure the smart lock fits your door properly and walk you through setup.
