Whether you're locked out of your ocean-view condo uptown, just took possession of a beachside cottage on East Beach, or want to upgrade the original hardware on a hillside bungalow above Johnston Road — we're the White Rock residential locksmith that shows up, quotes upfront, and leaves the job done. Same day.
A residential locksmith call in White Rock looks different depending on where you live. It might be a lockout at a strata condo on Pacific Avenue, a rekey for a newly purchased heritage cottage down the hill near the pier, or a security upgrade on a detached home in the Morgan Creek or Grandview Heights areas. Whatever the situation, the process is the same: a licensed technician arrives, assesses the hardware, and gives you a clear price before touching anything.
Our residential service covers everything from a basic home lockout all the way through full security upgrades. Here's what we handle at White Rock homes:
Prices vary with hardware grade, the number of locks, and whether the job is a standard appointment or an urgent call.

Call 778-370-5594 or use the online booking form. Tell us the address and what you need — lockout, rekey, new hardware, or repair. For lockouts we'll give you an ETA right away.
A licensed technician arrives at your White Rock address, inspects the door and existing hardware, and walks you through the options with a firm price before starting any work.
We complete the job cleanly — whether that's opening a lock non-destructively, rekeying all three locks on a new Pacific Avenue condo, or fitting a Grade 1 deadbolt on a hillside bungalow above the beach. You test everything before we leave.
White Rock has a lively rental and seasonal vacation market driven by its waterfront location and retirement community appeal. Beachside cottages on East Beach and West Beach often change hands or tenants regularly, especially in the summer months. Uptown condos near Johnston Road and Pacific Avenue attract long-term renters as well as owners. In all cases, the previous occupant's key may still work.
A rekey changes the internal pins in the lock cylinder so only your new key operates it — the hardware stays in place, cost stays low. Under BC's Residential Tenancy Act, tenants can generally add or change a lock as long as they provide the landlord with a copy of the new key. If you've just moved into a White Rock rental — whether it's a garden suite in an Elgin Chantrell home or a studio above a Johnston Road shop — book a rekey appointment and we'll key all accessible locks to a single new key in one visit.
White Rock's residential character is unique on the south coast. East Beach and West Beach have a collection of heritage cottages, some with original 1950s or 1960s hardware that's long overdue for an upgrade. The hillside streets above Marine Drive — where the ocean views are best — hold a range of post-war single-family homes and newer strata townhouses. Uptown along Pacific Avenue and Johnston Road, modern strata buildings and retirement residences use a range of hardware from builder-grade Kwikset and Weiser to more recent Schlage commercial cylinders for common entries.
Upgrading your security doesn't always mean replacing every lock. In most cases, a high-security cylinder swap and a reinforced strike plate with long screws into the framing makes a significant difference. We carry Schlage, Kwikset, and Mul-T-Lock hardware on the truck and can walk you through the options specific to your door style and security needs before you commit.
