The ten services below run off one White Rock number, and which one you need usually depends on where you are standing. Behind the door is anything from a mortise body in a 1920s Crescent Beach cottage, to a Weiser SmartKey deadbolt in a Grandview Heights townhome, to a padlock on a Hazelmere equipment shed. Say the area when you call: the arrival window from the pier is not the arrival window from the rural east end.
The ten are the same everywhere on the peninsula. The hardware behind them is not.
Most people already know roughly what they want: a way back in, a key that works, or a door that stops sticking. What nobody can tell from the kerb is whether the cylinder is worth keeping, and on the buildings that face the water along Marine Drive, East Beach and West Beach that question decides the booking. A suite deadbolt on that strip may take fresh pins and run for years, or the plug may be pitted through from the inside while the finish still looks fine, in which case the rekey you called about becomes a lock change. The technician settles that at the door and says which it is before starting.
Three limits are worth knowing before you pick from the list, because they are the ones that surprise people. Lobby fobs and buzzer panels belong to the strata or the property manager, so everything from your suite door inward is ours and the front entrance is not. A gated driveway on the estate lanes is usually a residential keypad we can service, while a full commercial-grade access platform may sit outside what a mobile truck should be touching. And a Mul-T-Lock cylinder can be rekeyed on the spot, whereas Medeco normally goes back to a certified dealer, so we confirm which one is on your door before anything gets scheduled.
Coverage runs the length of the peninsula: East Beach and West Beach along the waterfront, up through Five Corners and the uptown bluff, out to Ocean Park, Crescent Beach and Semiahmoo, then across South Surrey to Grandview Heights, Rosemary Heights, Morgan Creek, Elgin–Chantrell and Hazelmere. The drive time across that zone is the part worth asking about, and the arrival window you get on the call is based on where the nearest technician is.
One licensed crew covers all of them, waterfront to acreage, on the same phone number.
Round the clock, with the arrival window given on the call. It depends on where the nearest technician is, and Ocean Park, Crescent Beach, Hazelmere and the Campbell Heights units are a longer drive than the White Rock core.
Lockouts, deadbolt upgrades and security reviews for houses, suites and cottages. Cylinder count is what moves the price: three to five on a Semiahmoo family home, four to six on a newer Ocean Park build, more again once a Morgan Creek property adds a coach house and a workshop door.
Master keys, access control and after-hours response. At a Five Corners mixed-use address that means three layers in one visit: the ground-floor tenant, the suites above, the stairwell door. At the Semiahmoo shopping centre it means your own unit only, since the centre's main systems sit with property management.
Mobile to wherever the car is sitting. Summer weekends put most of this work in the paid beach lots, where a tightly packed row sometimes means the keys are shut in the trunk rather than the cabin, which is a different opening job. Tell us the lot and the vehicle.
Cut and programmed at the kerb for most makes, with no tow to a dealer. Have the vehicle registration and your driver's licence with you at the car. Proof of authority over the vehicle may be asked for before work starts, and we reserve the right to decline where lawful access cannot be confirmed.
Fresh pins in the hardware you already own, which is the right call after a sale, a tenant change, or a season of Crescent Beach renters. It is the wrong call on a cylinder already corroded through, and on a Weiser SmartKey that has been self-reset once too often and jammed.
Keypads and app-connected deadbolts fitted to the door prep you already have. Plenty of owners here want the keypad and nothing past it: no app, no account, no subscription. In a strata suite, clear it with the council first, because the suite door is yours and the lobby system is not.
Latches that miss, strikes that have shifted, hinges gone stiff with corrosion. On the old wood-frame cottage doors that swell shut in winter rain, moving the strike to meet the latch is our work and planing the door itself belongs to a carpenter.
Opening, installation, combination resets and relocation. The recurring version on this peninsula is an estate property off Crescent Road where a floor or wall safe came with the house and nobody passed on the combination.
Tiered hierarchies and restricted keyways. The two that come up most sit at opposite ends of the territory: a North Bluff Road retirement residence separating staff access from resident suites and secure common areas, and a Hazelmere farm where the owner's key opens every structure and the caretaker's opens only the ones they work in.
Fourteen area pages, each with the hardware and the parking for that stretch.
