White Rock's commercial locksmith for waterfront restaurants, Johnston Road retail, Semiahmoo Centre tenants, and strata mixed-use buildings. Master key systems, access control, and high-security hardware — quoted on the phone, installed the same day.
When a White Rock business needs its locks changed, a master key system designed, or access control installed, the job has to be done right the first time. Staff changeovers at Marine Drive restaurants, tenant turnovers in Johnston Road office buildings, and overnight break-ins at beachside storefronts don't wait for next week. We show up the same day, assess the site on-site, and give you a quoted price before we touch anything.
Every job is done by a licensed technician — no sub-contractors, no third-party handoffs.
These are typical ranges for White Rock commercial work. Every site is different — call for a quoted price before we start.
| Service | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Commercial rekey (per cylinder) | $35 – $60 |
| High-security deadbolt supply & install | $180 – $350 |
| Master key system (up to 10 doors) | $400 – $900 |
| Basic keypad/fob access control (per door) | $350 – $700 |
| Restricted keyway changeover | $200 – $500 |
| Emergency commercial lockout | $120 – $200 |
| Panic bar / exit device install | $300 – $600 |
All prices are typical market ranges, not a fixed quote. Call 778-370-5594 for your site-specific price before any work starts.
Simple process — no surprises.
Phone 778-370-5594 or use the online booking form. Describe your site — how many doors, what hardware, and when you need us. We'll give you a price range right on the call.
A licensed technician arrives — often the same day. We inspect the existing hardware, door frames, and your access needs. You get a firm quote before anything is touched.
We carry the hardware. High-security cylinders, master key blanks, access control components — the truck is stocked for commercial jobs. Most installs are completed in a single visit.
For master key systems we provide a key chart. For access control we walk your manager through the admin settings. You leave with a working system and a record of what was installed.
White Rock's commercial strip runs in two distinct layers. Marine Drive along the waterfront holds restaurants, fish-and-chip shops, boutiques, and seasonal galleries that depend on consistent early-morning and late-evening access. The uptown district around Johnston Road, Five Corners, and Semiahmoo Centre holds medical offices, professional services, specialty retail, and the larger anchor tenants in the shopping centre complex. Both environments have distinct security needs — a Marine Drive restaurant kitchen needs a master key that keeps delivery staff out of the office; a Johnston Road medical clinic needs logged access for after-hours cleaning without sharing a universal key.
We work with strata councils managing mixed-use buildings, property managers overseeing multiple commercial tenants, and individual business owners who need a fast response when a key goes missing before an early shift. The service is the same: one call, one technician, one quoted price before we start.
Standalone pin-pad locks suit a single office door where one shared code is enough. One step up: keycard and fob systems, where each credential is individually logged and can be deactivated the moment an employee leaves. For the multi-tenant office spaces in the Johnston Road and Semiahmoo Centre areas, a properly configured access control system is both a security upgrade and a management simplification — deactivate a card from a laptop instead of chasing down a key.
We install and program entry-level commercial access control (Schlage, Yale commercial) and can coordinate with your IT team if you're integrating with an existing cloud-based door platform. For single-door and two-to-three door setups, most installs are done from stock on the truck. Larger rollouts covering entire buildings require a bit more planning — call ahead to discuss hardware procurement and scheduling.
Our average arrival across the White Rock and Semiahmoo area is around 20–30 minutes. For commercial lockouts — a Marine Drive restaurant locked up before service, a keypad failure at a Johnston Road clinic, or a broken cylinder after an overnight break-in — we treat them as emergency calls. Call 778-370-5594 any time, 24/7.
Often, yes. If your current system uses a standard commercial keyway and the cylinders are in good condition, we can rekey or add doors to the existing hierarchy. Bring us the master key and a few sample tenant keys when we arrive — it helps us identify the system and cut new keys to match. If the keyway is proprietary or restricted, we'll advise on options.
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — the hardware stays in place. It's faster and less expensive when the hardware is in good condition. Lock replacement makes sense when the hardware is worn, damaged, or you're upgrading to a higher-security grade. For most commercial rekeys after a staff departure, rekeying is the right call. We'll tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.
We carry commercial-grade hardware on the truck — Schlage, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock cylinders, and a range of deadbolts and mortise locks. For large orders we may source hardware ahead of the appointment. You're welcome to supply your own hardware if you have a preferred brand; we charge labour only in that case. Call ahead to confirm.
A restricted keyway means keys can only be copied by an authorized dealer — typically the locksmith who installed the system. It stops staff from making unauthorized duplicates at a corner hardware store. For Marine Drive businesses with seasonal and part-time staff, or Johnston Road offices with high employee turnover, controlled key-copy access is a real upgrade. We install Medeco and Mul-T-Lock restricted systems.
Yes — 24/7. Planned installs and master key work are best scheduled during business hours so your staff is available for the hand-over. But emergency commercial calls — a break-in overnight on Marine Drive, a key failure before an early Johnston Road opening — get the same response any time. Call 778-370-5594.
